Memories:   

About senior year in high school: 

"...the moment I realized  I will never see half of these people again and it brought a tear to my eye."

About other stuff:

"I suppose when I began to realize that life goes on no matter what you do...so recover from whatever 'tragedy' occurs.  That happened after some girl dumped me in high school."

"...the loss of Andrew as my friend...it made me realize to take responsibility for my actions and that people can like you or not like you, and it is totally up to them."

Most Embarrassing Moment: "When I yelled at my section and my infamous puberty voice decided to crack at those exact moments."

Makle's Future: "I WILL graduate from the UT School of Business and proceed to receive my MBA in Business Mergers and Acquisitions.  From there I plan to enter a major corporation and live life.  I WILL marry as soon as I am financially set and have one child, a boy, and spoil him rotten.  I plan to live in the northeast and travel to Europe frequently.  After that I will let the wind take me where it will."

Boxers or Briefs? "Boxers, others are too restricting...there is no freedom to move.  Boxers also give you a bit of ventilation."
