Courtney Critz - 3rd Runner-Up

1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
It may seem cliché but the simple sound of a breath is truly amazing. It’s something we don’t do often enough but if you stop to listen to someone breathe; you hear not just a breath but also the sound of life. Something so simple and yet so powerful.

2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I feel blessed to have many talents that I am very proud of but unfortunately, I still cannot ride a bike very well! While I am a coordinated dancer with great balance, and can even successfully run in heels, I struggle when two feet leave the ground.

3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
Oddly enough, it is probably that I love trying new things. It may be food, ideas or styles. I am not your typical zodiac sign of Cancer. I love change, and I cannot invite new experiences in my life without trying them.

4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
Absolutely! Who doesn’t? However, I do not think of it as a bad thing. I try to learn from every mistake I have made. It helps me to live with no regrets. I truly think every mistake is an opportunity to be a better person.

5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
All food! And a lot of it! Nevertheless, if I had to choose one type, I would say pizza. Pepperoni to be exact. Pizza is good at any time… a cold winter day, a hot summer pool party, even a morning before school; pizza is always the perfect meal!
