Question: What quote has influenced you the most in life?
Pope: My mom once said, “Try to be patient.” Good things come to those who wait. At my age, I’m more patient than I used to be.
Slover:“Beauty is only skin deep.” You should look at a person for what they are on the inside, not just outside.
Q;What song best describes your life?
P:“I’m Looking Through You” by the Beatles. It’s one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar. I like the lyrics. People go through life and change and the people around you recognize the change first.
S:“Clarity” by John Mayer. It talks about how you go through stages in life and things become clearer.
Q: What do you miss about high school?
P:The care-free attitude toward life.
S:I miss being under the lights at the football stadium during a game performing dance and with the marching band.
Q: What is your dream vacation spot?
P: Greece. I have never been there and I’ve traveled everywhere in Europe. That’s the one place I never made it to.
S:Greece; or somewhere that overlooks the ocean. Where you can get away from all the hustle and bustle; where it’s peaceful.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
P:Probably still in Lawrence, hopefully still running the businesses I’m involved with and have ventured off to try some other things as far as in business.
S:Owning a psychology clinic that ties in the science of psychology with reflexology, massage therapy and a spa. Hopefully I’ll be married and with a kid and living in the Redwoods in southern Oregon.
