Survivor Application

I am not applying to Survivor. They wouldn't consider me because I am not American, I wouldn't consider it because the thought of living in my swimsuit for a month makes me want to throw up, and I don't even qualify because you have to be able to swim, which I can't because of my control issues with the water. However, they do have an interesting batch of questions on their application form, so I thought I'd give you my potential answers. I's skipping all the identifying information, and the physical descriptors section.

1. Current occupation in two words.
Currently, admin asistant, but really social worker. So I would write social worker.
2.What do you do at work, or what is your major in school.
I am earning my social work degree. I help people reach their goals.
3. In what other occupations have you been employed? Last three.
Admin assistant, nanny, cleaning lady.
4.What is your level of education and how many instituations did you attend?
I have a college diploma and have one term left until a degree. I have attended three or four instituations (depends how you define attend. I have cards from four.).
5. Are you in a fraternity or society?
Gosh no, that would be so embarressing.
6. Do you hold a leadership position? Describe.
Officially, no. However, I often take a leadership role in my youth group and recently planned a weekend youth retreat.
7. Name three of your favorite hobbies.
Reading (primarily romance novels), travelling (usually road trips), and social networking.

There are lots of things I am proud of. I will be pretty proud of earning my degree. I am proud of being a good friend, being able to hold it together in a crisis, some influence I have had as a social worker.

Not sure. My favorite is Boston Rob, though I am not much like him. Maybe Jerri, in the latest season.
22. Who would you choose for your loved ones visit?
My mom or sister. Of course, neither of them has a passport, so I'd likely have to pick someone else. Ummmm...... I'd get a friend.
23. Describe your perfect day:
I would slowly wake up, with the sun making my room nice and bright and cheerful. I'd cuddle my cats before breakfast. I would spend the morning and lunch with my family- maybe do some shopping. In the afternoon, I would get dressed to kill, and go out with my friends for supper, and then maybe go play games at someone's house. I would have a man to flirt with and we'd go for a walk in the evening, and then just before bed I would catch up on Facebook.

My parents are my heroes, because no matter what kind of struggle comes their way, they buckle down and get done what needs to be done. And they have had struggles. Throughout their struggles, they are always able to find the positive side, the light moment, and I really hope I am like them in this regard.
30. 3 non survivor items you would take and why.
-Bible- I would need strength in God to get through the experience.

Swim. Run. Climb. Any kind of jumping out of a plane thing (with a safe landing of course).
32. What past Survivor would you play most like? Why? I actually have no idea- I don't know how I'd respond or what situation I would find myself in. I would definately not give away my immunity or lie about who I am (that Katrina story, really??)
33. What would you not do for a million dollars?
Wear a bikini in front of a camera.
34. What is your favorite topic at a dinner party? What's off limits?
I'd be willing to talk about anything at a dinner party- it all depends on the attitudes of the people in the conversation.When the attitudes get bad, then its off limits.

I am pretty good at keeping the peace. Before arriving, I would research and practise wilderness survivor skills- I'd relay on my brains and heart, not my brawn.
36. If you were stranded, who would you most want to be stranded with?
A man who has some wilderness knowledge, is fairly strong, and is easygoing. Not someone high maintanance or fussy or anxious. Why a man? I figure he'd be physically stronger than me, which would be more useful than another me.

Not applying to the show, but if I was, it would be first the money, and secondly, doing something so wild and crazy to prove I can.

44. Why do you believe you will be the final Survivor?
I don't. But were I sending this in, I would say something along the lines of being nice and gaining confidences.

And Done!
