August Task.

Take a look at into your character, and answer the following questions:
1. What is your full name?
My full name is Isabella Mia Fontana, I was named after my father's mother Isabella. I never got to meet my grandmother as she passed before I was born. I have heard amazing things about her though. I wished I would of met her, although I do remember my father saying that Iooked a lot like her, I don't know. 
2. Were you born in Chicago? If you were born outside of Chicago what was the reason you came settled here? If you born in Chicago what is about the city that makes you stay?
I was born in Manhattan, New York, but was raised in Brooklyn, New York. I moved to Chicago because I was trying to find a new place to start fresh. After all the different experiences that happened to me, I wanted to start fresh in a new place. I was dealing with my eating disorder and I had lost the audition to the New York Dance Company. I had been able to overcome these obstacles and start a new career. I am happy to be in Chicago, I love it here. 
3. As a kid, what was your dream job? Were you able to work towards that path or did you end up going down a different road?
As a kid, I wanted to be a ballet dancer. I had been dancing since I was three years old, not just ballet but jazz, and other kind of dances. I was always trying to dance to whatever music. I was asking my older brother to help me put dance show for my parents. I always looked forward to dance rehearsals, but did it end up being that, no. I ended falling in love with design and now I am a fashion designer, owner of my own boutique. 
4. How would you describe yourself to others? 
Hmm that is a good question. I would describe myself as loyal, fun and outgoing. Someone who is not afraid to take risks, regardless of the consequences. Someone who loves to live life like its my last day. Always open to meet new people and make new friends. Just like everyone, I have my own flaws but who doesn't right? I am a fun person, that is how I would describe myself. 
5. What do you value the most in your life? 
Experiences, and I will explain why. Being able to live the life I live, loving my career, my friends, my boyfriend, and my job. Being able to wake up every morning, and being to live life. I value my relationships and my family. Being able to experience different things with those I love, that is what I value. 
6. What advice would you give your younger self if you could?
You are going to go through a lot of pain, both emotionally and physical but remember  you are strong. Also daddy won't be around too long so enjoy and cherish every moment you can with dad. Tell Parker about how you feel about him because you will be surprised that he felt the same way about you. You will feel as your dream is lost but its not, keep the faith and keep going. Cherish those moments with your brother, they may not be the same after your father is gone. Spend time with your mother, she is an amazing person and mother, don't forget that. 
7. Do you have anybody in your life that you know would be there for you whenever you needed them? Would you be there for the in return?
I do, that would be my boyfriend and best friend, Parker. We know each other since elementary school, we were friends but we didn't become the best of friends until middle school and high school. Now that we reconnected, I know that I can come to him with whatever I am going through. He knows that he can come to me for anything, I am always there for my friends, always.
8. Everybody has bad habits. What is your worst bad habit that you'd like to get out of doing?
I bite my nails when I am nervous, its something I am not proud of but its true. Its something that started as a child, I would bite my nails or my lip. My mother tried to help me trying to stop but it has been hard. I am not proud of it, but I am trying. I try to take deep breathes to calm my nerves or try to focus on something else before I start biting my nails. Its a work in progress, but I am trying. 
9. What do you like to do in your spare time?
On my free time, I love to read books. Most people would call me a book worm but I love it. I love to pick up a good book, place some soft jazz in the background and be able to enjoy my reading. I love classic literature such as D*ckens, Hemmingway and Fitzgerarld. "The Great Gatsby" is my favorite book as well as "The Sun Also Rises" by Hemmingway. I think a book can take you into different world and help you forget about the real world for a moment. 
10. If you could live your life in a book/tv show or movie. Which one would you pick and why?
I would say Boardwalk Empire. I wasn't sure when I started to watch this show but everything that its during the 1920's its attracting to me. I love history and I love that era. I would pick this because its true that women were starting to have more of a voice, as it was a different era. Its still astonishing to me to be in that time.
