1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
My favorite superhero is Starfire from the OG Teen Titans. Starfire is my favorite because she always finds at least one (most of the time more) good thing or quality about every situation, animal, person and even villain. Because of this I think she is a perfect example and reminder to not judge a book by its cover and to always look on the positive side of things.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A True friendship takes us by the hand and reminds us that we are never alone. A true friend is someone that you never have to wonder if they are a true friend or not. They are loyal, kind, and they stick by your side even when the road gets rough. Thank you Lena for being my true friend! You have been a blessing in my life and idk where I would be without you.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
Everyone will have their own opinion about me and how I do things. Which is completely OK, because at the end of the day I am thankful for those who are not afraid to criticize me. Therefore, in the end I can take the criticism as a chance to improve my work or myself as a person. So that being said, I not offended by people's criticism and I know I can handle it well.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
I'm not big on reading, but when I do read I usually like to stay in my comfort zone of reading anything by Chris Colfer. Recently my dad was telling me about his favorite books from when he was a teenager (the Discworld series). I took an interest in it because I am always willing to try anything at least once, and I ended up loving it so much and can't wait to read more.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
Crying shows your human and when humans cry it's usually because they’re at a weak point in life, and that's okay because we all get like that from time to time. But it's the strength that is shown when you have been knocked down but instead of giving up, you chose to get up and preserve over anything that comes your way, even if that means you shed a tear or two along the way.
