A good friend of mine nominated me with a couple other bloggers for the Siblinghood of the year Blogger's Award. So please feel to check out his amazing blog at the following link: https://askateenageaspie.wordpress.com/
As part of this nomination I am required to answer ten questions. They are the following:
- If you could visit any other historical era and location for one day, where would you pick and why?
- What is your favourite film?
- What is your favourite inspirational quote?
- Where was the most amazing place you’ve ever been?
- What has changed in your writing since you began blogging?
- What was the worst film you’ve seen recently?
- What inspired you to start blogging?
- Do you have a song you listen to when you feel down?
- Do you think the education system is fine as it is or do you think major changes are needed?
- What was your favourite movie as a kid?
So without further ado here are my answers:.........
Q1. This is one of the questions that took me a while to answer but I think I have one that I'm pretty happy with! I'd love to go back in time and visit the Renaissance where it started in Florence. I think it's such a beautiful period in history when so much learning took place and everyone changed their way of thinking and enjoyed revisiting the works of the great Greek and Roman writers to create their own works... I could go on for ages!!
Q2. My favourite film has to be Tuesdays With Morrie. It is one of those films that leaves your mouth hanging open at the end and makes you go around saying "Wow" for days. I read the book first and I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed both of them equally. I would highly recommend this film as its quite relatable and has a wonderful poignant plot that will teach you so much about the world and life itself. :)
Q3. This is a tricky one as I have so many!! Ok, here's one of my particular favourite one's: "You're a blank canvas". I love this quote because it tells the message that we're free to start over again and we can acknowledge the past and move on from it by learning from our mistakes. I also love some other simple but effective quotes like I can do it or it's going to be ok.
Q4. There's so many!!
I really think Powerscourt waterfall and gardens are amazing. I also think Curracloe beach in Co. Wexford is the most magical beach I've ever been to! It's equally lovely in the morning, during afternoon for an ice cream or for an evening stroll!
Q5. Since I began blogging I think my writing has become more expressive and emotive. At least I hope it has!! I've been trying to challenge myself to be more imaginative and to pour my feelings onto paper (or online posts!) which I think has improved my writing at least a little!
Q6. I think Bride Wars has to be one of the worst films I've seen, I couldn't finish watching it, I disliked it so much! I just felt as if not enough happened to keep me entertained!
Q7. I've resolved to be more positive even though it will could take years or even my whole life time to rid myself of negativity and I wanted to document this journey through writing with tips I've discovered to help others and myself live a life that is happier and filled with less anxiety and stress. I also wanted to share my thoughts on issues affecting us and add a sprinkle of fun by posting some of my landscape photography and who knows what else! :)
Q8. Yes I most definitely have a song that I listen to when I feel down. It is "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten. It's a beautifully written song that can help put a smile on my face and is really positive and relatable. Here's a link for it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo1VInw-SKc
Q9. No, I don't think the education system is fine. Some changes need to be made indeed. For example too much emphasis is put on exams and it causes a lot of unnecessary anxiety for students. There should also be more opportunities for students to express their opinion in class and not have to learn large amounts of material and regurgitate it in an exam. School should be full of fun and should be approached with eagerness and excitement not boredom and dismay. Therefore I firmly believe changes should be made in order to satify the needs of each and every individual.
Q10. This is hard again, simply because I have a lot! I always loved Dumbo, a great Disney movie, and I still do!! Winnie the Pooh and more! Pollyanna and the Railway Children too!
