Where Are They Now?

Katherine Collin

Interview # 7

Lovely day, Miss... I'm sorry. I just awful at names.

Kathrine Hai... Or well Kathrine Collin now. Sorry. *chuckles* still getting used to that I guess.

Could you tell us a little about yourself?

Uhmm idk what to say about myself really. Nothing special about me. I guess I consider myself a happy person. I try to be kinda to everyone, you never know what someone is going through or what it will mean to them you know?

You married the love of your life. Can you share with us hopeless romances how does it feel to wake up to that one person to make your heart skip a beat?

Its amazing, I mean.. *gets quiet*.. To be honest he can be kinda a blanket hog, but its all worth it when I wake up to find him next to me. I just know that after everything we've been through as long as I have him, I can definitely face whatever the day might bring.

How's the marriage life treating you? Any little bundle of joys in the future?

I'd say marriage suits me. Addie says I still have that honeymoon glow. As for kids. The idea terrifies me, but Will is just so good with kids, the idea of seeing him with one of our own makes my heart swell.

If so, your fans would love to know what names you have pick for a boy and /or girl.

Ooh. Gosh. For a girl, Ellie or Anina. A boy would have to be Jason.

Your struggle with love is one to remember. How has William's fateful love changed you? Do you think his love has made you a better person?

Will definitely changed me. He just changed the way I see people. I never believed anyone, even myself capable of what I've felt, what I still feel for him. It just gives you this overwhelming confidence that if people can love this way than surely the world is good. Realizing that has changed me. Im so much more open now.

What is love to you?

Love to me... How can I even explain it. Okay I know.. Its like the sun. Only its inside you, warming you up from within. And it burns so much brighter when he's around. *giggles* That sounds corny but really. That's what it feels like.

I can't remember, but I heard this rumor somewhere saying that you plan to attend college. If so, what will you be majoring in and why?

I actually finished my major in English, and I'm going on to pursue a law degree. I've wanted to be an attorney for as long as I can remember. I think a part of me always craved justice for my brother's accident. I think people should have consequences for their actions and I want to help make that happen.

Do you think you could be a stay at home mom, if William became the sole provider?

I could never do the housewife thing. Call it feminist pride but I just need to accomplish something bigger than that. Its not that I don't think mothering is a hard job, I know it is... Its just not me.

As an young adult, what are some of your hardships that you have had to deal with?

Growing up I felt what I guess you could call a sense of abandonment. My mother died shortly after my birth. So I never knew her enough for that to affect me. It was the death of my older brother Jason that really got to me. My father worked a lot you see, so my brother and I grew very close. He was always there. And then he was just gone. I pushed everyone away from that. A part of me always believed that if he had just stayed with me that day the accident never would have happened and so I pushed everyone away for fear of being left again. Will changed that. He saved me really.

Any good come from those hardships?

I know what happened brought me to Will and it brought me closer to everyone in my life really. I'm thankful for that. Losing someone, it really makes you appreciate life and all the little moments so much more.

What advice would you give to the future youths of the world if you could give some advice?

My advice is, don't fear life. It can be hard sure but it can also be really great if you let it. It can't be anything if you're too afraid to face it.

What are you currently doing in life?

Currently, I'm finishing law school and just enjoying living with my friends and the love of my life. There are so many things I want to do. Memories I want to make if I'm going to settle down and have a family... I want an adventure first.

Any last remarks?

As corny as it sounds.. Just be yourself. Everyone has something to offer to the world, and you won't find it pretending to be someone you're not.
