• Michael Sheridan– My personal state of mind is to be relaxed. Religion is not

important in my life right now, but it may be later.– I am very close with my family. I enjoy being with family and

possessions one has the more simple life can be.– I plan to work as a civil engineer. The size of the firm does not

matter to me.– I love to play sports. I have played basketball and golf for many

years and plan to continue doing both.– I plan to follow politics but not be an active participant.

Importance to me• Wissal Gacimi

– Personal State of mind: Be healthy physically and spiritually, be happy, personal satisfaction and fulfillment in any way. Live my life the fullest but never forget my principles and my cultural and religious backgrounds.

– Material life: Get married, have kids, have a really nice house, a secondary house (beach/mountains), and nice cars.

– Work/Occupation: Not only be a good mom and wife and give my family all the attention needed, but also have a good job in a company as an engineer and hopefully a CEO in a company if I do my MBA after my bachelors in engineering.

– Recreation/Avocation: Continue dancing and expand my repertoire into more dancing styles. Do sports at the gym

– Political life: Only if needed.
