Q: What’s your favorite memory? Why?

A: My favorite memory was probably going on a family vacation to Florida. We don’t have family down there, we just went for Disney and the beach. I really liked Universal, because they have more animated rides and roller coasters, and they have Harry Potter World, which is pretty cool. I went with my younger brother, and then my aunt, uncle, and cousin.

Q: What’s your favorite board game? Why?

A: Monopoly. It takes a long time, but it’s fun seeing where you can go and what places you can buy. I risk it while playing, but I don’t win a lot. I play with my family the most.

Q: When have you worked the hardest?

A: I’ve worked the hardest at gymnastics when I’m trying to get a new skill. I’ll continually go for it until I get it, but if I don’t I can always come back the next day and try again. The hardest skill I’ve tried to achieve is a flip lay. It’s a flip out, lay out, step back on beam. It takes a lot of mental confidence. You have to get over the fear of doing it.

Q: What pets do you have?

I have four pets. Two dogs, and two guinea pigs. The two dogs are Lucy and Daisy, and the guinea pigs are Buttons and Humphry. The guinea pigs are so small and cute, and they squeak a lot. My dogs are great because they’re good companions. I usually have to walk them because it’s my responsibility. One of the dogs, Lucy, is actually mine and the other dog, Daisy, is the family dog.
