What a great interview Amalia! Thanks for let us know more about you. I did have to really let out a good laugh on this answer:


What method do you cherish above all others, as means to improving your life?
Dialogue. I firmly believe that this is the method to solve all problems. Or at least, a great number of them.:lol: (This is an inside joke between Amalia and me.;))

And I thought this was very insightful:


What do you do (for a living) to be able to keep your LitNet addiction going? And are you happy with your chosen profession?
I am an English teacher. I'm not only happy, I feel blessed.
That is great. When a person feels blessed, they are on the right course. Trust me, many people hate their jobs. Good for you. :)

[amalia1985]

Thank you all so so much, guys and gals!!! You're all too too kind!
