Sannie interviewed me.

1) What is your biggest fear?

Losing someone I love, like my parents, my brother or a close friend. While I have been living away from home for 4.5 years now and have no problem living far away, even on another continent, I always know that they are there. If I need them, they are there; they will catch me if I fall. They are my family, where I belong, and I still need them very much.

2) If there was one person -dead or alive- that you could choose to meet, who would that be?

This is a tough one, I do not really know. There is not really one specific person that I find so admirable or who has influenced me so much that I would be able to say right away that is the person I would want to meet. I would not want to just pick a random person though, because I would want them to be meaningful, but right now I just cannot think of anyone, so I will go with - Johnny Depp. He is my favorite actor, he is so versatile, and I think it would be really interesting to meet him. But … I do not know if I would still pick him if I spent a few more hours thinking about this question. Maybe I would be able to think of someone “better”.

3) If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would that be?

My attitude towards myself. I need to be more accepting of myself and be happier with the way I am. How can I expect anyone else to love me if I cannot love myself? There are other things I would want to change about myself, but I picked this one, because it is probably the hardest thing to do out of all.

4) What is your fondest childhood memory?

I honestly have to admit, I never thought about what is the fondest memory of my childhood, so here is just one, that might not be the fondest, but definitely a fond childhood memory: when I was younger, I loved listening to the Beatles - I got that from my dad - and I would sit in the living room with the CD booklet and sing along to the songs - the ones I loved most were the songs of the Red Album.

5) What do you miss most about the US?

I miss my friends most, but also the people in general and my life there; Americans are so different from Germans in a way. Life just seemed more careless there. I enjoyed going to school there so much and being on the beautiful campus of OU every day. I miss the school spirit. I also miss some of the food and stores, but you know, that is just… food and stores. The things I miss most are “inside things”, things of the mind and soul, not the body.
