Lauren(80), you definately need to be working in some form of retail. Maybe as a buyer of a gift boutique? You definately have to be creative AND a people person!

. However, there isn't room for growth in my position now until I graduate from college. My dream job is to be an ASL I/T at a church, assisting with counseling and I/T-ing worship services. Since that can't be a full time job, I'd also like to be an inclusion teacher. I also want to illustrate children's books.

5. What celebrity personality do you most identify with? Well, as an INFJ, supposedly I share personality types with Jimmy Carter, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mahatma Ghandi, and Mother Theresa. In terms of who I identify most with would be Anne Hathaway or Natalie Portman because they're tall brunettes and they seem be soul searchers and very artistic... They also both seem to have a strong sense of self and know what they believe and why, and I can definately identify with that.
6. Who do you look up to and why? Mother Theresa, because I don't think anyone in our current history could be so filled with love and compassion. On the home front, my mom. She's been through a lot and kept her chin up anyway, and I hope to be as resillient as she is.

4. Favorite desserts? German chocolate cake, ice cream
5. What celebrity personality do you most identify with? I honestly have no idea.
6. Who do you look up to and why? My mom. She taught me to be the strong, independant woman that I am.
