I am Mallory Lenae.

1. What are your values?

Empathy, kindness, flexibility and improvement. Empathy can make this world a better place. Don't just sympathize, allow yourself to dig deeper than that. Kindness is key. Improvement is a value shown through my ability to take constructive criticism and apply it to my life. This allows me to be open and transparent with others.

2. What do you love?

I love people. I love being outside, the smell and s o u n d of rain. I love the spring when all things are blooming, fresh and new. I love learning about different cultures. I love when people smile, laugh and are spontaneous. I love it when people are in a good mood. I love it when a stranger smiles at you. I love music and dancing to it, whether it be with friends or by myself in my room. I love Jesus and what He did for us on the Cross. I love summer, fall, winter and spring. I love my family and all they have done for me. I love running on the grass on an unbeaten path. I love the little things in life, the ironic things, that make you smile.

3. What do you hate?

I hate it when people take life too seriously and don't take time to relax. I hate it when people make fun of someone they don't know. I hate that we live in an imperfect world, that there is murder, cancer and slander. I hate that we can't all get a long. I hate pride and how it gets in the way of true, deep relationships. I hate sin.

4. What are you insanely great at doing?

I'm insanely good at living life in the now. Not the past or the future but having true unadulterated love for the present.

5. What are you most proud of?

I'm most proud of my ability to take a bad situation and make it a positive experience. I'd like to think that I'm a truly positive person. Not overly positive or fake but a person who can genuinely can see the hope that comes with all situations.

6. What do you want to be?

I want to be the best possible version of me. I want to be able to take everything that I was given and all that I was created to be to the next level. I want to be a person that is relatable and personable and someone who people want to be around. I want to be a person who doesn't settle for less than I know I can but also is accepting of correction and is moldable. Constantly improving.

7. What is important and valuable to you?

Relationships are most important to me. It is important to me to recognize and cherish the little things in life.

8. What do you want to be known for?

A person who puts others first. I want to be known as a woman who made an impact on those around her. I hope that when people think of me that they can know that I genuinely love and care about them.
