What inspires you? What inspires me is my family as they support me whole-heartedly.
What is your favorite subject in school, and why? My favorite subject is world history because it is very interesting to learn about old cultures and how their government and economic structures worked.
If you had the power to change one thing in the world, what would it be? Get rid of pennies. They cost 1.8 cents to make one cent and you can’t buy anything with pennies, which is why they end up in jars.
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? Dubai due to the mass advances in technology, economy and government.
Name one big challenge in your life right now: The one main challenge in my life now would be my college classes as they can be quite overwhelming at times.
What is your dream job? My dream job would be principal of a school because it’s a position above of my favorite thing.
If you were stuck on a deserted island, what three things could you not live without? 1. Reddit, basically an internet news site of whatever interesting is going on. 2. Books, I would die of sensory deprivation without them. 3. My glasses because I’m blind without them.
Favorite book: “Bakuman Series”: A story of two high school students trying to make it big in the graphic novel industry.
What do you want to do after high school? After high school I plan to go to college and get my degree in education and teach world history.
Something that makes you smile: Seeing my friends and family succeed is something that will always make me smile.
