1. What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?

My favorite way to spend the day off is to relax at home with my family and maybe go out later in the day. 

2. What’s one thing that can instantly make your day better?

One thing that can easily make my day better is baking because it’s something I love to do and it calms me especially when I’m having a rough day

3. Who or what never fails to make you laugh?

My family and friends never fail to make me laugh.

4. What’s the best piece of advice a family member has given you?

The best piece of advice a family has given me is that you don’t have to lie to kick it which means you don’t have to lie or change yourself to fit in with other people or so people will like you because they genuinely like you and is a real friend they will like you for just being yourself. 

5. What’s one thing you can’t live without, and why?

One thing I can’t live without is family because I really don’t know what I would do without them.

6. How would you describe your close friend?

I would describe my close friend as a strong,intelligent,kind,loving, caring, funny and beautiful young lady who doesn’t let anyone stand in her way and cares about others before herself. She’s truly a really good friend and I am so lucky to call her my friend because she is always there when I need her and she is someone I would trust with everything.

7. What’s one of your favorite childhood memory?

My favorite childhood memory is when my grandma took me out of school for a month and took me out of town I got to be with family I don’t see often and I went to a really big water park with them

8. How do you cope when things get hard?

For me coping when things get hard can sometimes be difficult— but sometimes I listen to music alone in my room while I’m just thinking about everything. Also sometimes, I just think about what my grandma would do in certain situations to help me because somehow she always had the right answer. I also bake to cope because like I said it calms me and helps me take my mind off of everything that’s going on.

9. What values are most important to you?

I would say having respect, loyalty and integrity are the most important values to me because they all lead up to me having trust in a person and without those three things you can’t have trust in a person especially when they don’t even respect you

10. Finally, who or what makes you instantly light up? 

My mom because she is literally the strongest women I know. She always tries to stay positive even at her worst, and she is always there for me when I need her and I can talk to her about anything.
