If you could spend one hour with any person, who would it be and why: One of my best friends Elena, may she rest in peace. She showed me that whatever you're going through, if you have faith, good things will come. I never understood why she would tell me that every day, but getting this award has made me realize that she was right. If she was still alive today she would probably tell me that she is proud of what I've accomplished.
