What were you like in high school?
I existed. That's about it. I wasn't really involved that much in school, except for studying a skilled trade after school Monday-Friday. Otherwise, "I existed" sums it up well
What is your greatest fear? What do you do to address it?
I don't really think I'm afraid of anything. I'm pretty brave
Was there a time in your life where you felt you hit rock bottom? What was the situation behind it?
I feel like I was at the bottom when my life started, and life is just a constant going up. I am constantly becoming a better person with each passing day
Where would you put yourself on the social spectrum, and why?
I'm a complete introvert. I'm very quiet. If I ever get invited to parties, which happened a lot in high school, because of my best friend, Juan, I usually hang out on the fringes of the party, away from the big crowds. I like things quiet and orderly
What are some things that really bother you?
Just the opposite of what I just said. I like things quiet and orderly. So things like crowds, noise and chaos really bother me. I also offer up sound, practical advice a lot, and it bothers me when people don't take it
What, would you say, are your biggest strengths?
I'm highly practical and logical. I am efficient, and get stuff done.
What, would you say, are your biggest weaknesses?
I feel like I'm very surfacey, and not too deep. It's almost like my emotions don't exist
When you switch your attitude between introverted and extroverted, or vise versa, what are you like?
When I act more extroverted, I can be highly opinionated and stubborn. I almost come across as mean. Maybe that's another reason they called me, "tough cookie " in high school
What was the hardest thing you ever had to do? Why was it so hard?
The hardest thing I ever had to do is something I'm actually doing right now, raising my children as a single dad. It's hard, because I have a hard time giving emotionally to my children. As I said, I'm really shallow, but I often feel like my children should have a more emotionally expressive and deep parent. With me, I feel like they're missing out
What are you like when you're sad?
That's a good question. I don't think I've ever been sad, to be honest
How masculine/feminine do you feel in relation to others of your gender?
I feel about average
Here's 4 focuses you can have in life: tasks, people, objects and ideas. Which one would be your primary focus and why? Which one would be your secondary focus and why?
I'd say objects are my primary focus. I'm fixated on them, and then I use them to do tasks, which I would say is my second focus. I'm definitely not focused on people. Oh, boy, do we know that!
What do you do to have fun?
To have fun, I keep myself busy. I get an adrenaline rush from being active, keeping busy, and working with my hands
What was the nicest thing you ever did for someone, and why did you do it?
The nicest thing I ever did for someone was advise them. I advised them because they asked me to. I have given many people completely sound advice, and it usually comes from me knowing the person, and paying attention to them over a long period of time, and remembering the details about the person.
Thanks for your time, Jaime. We appreciate it.
