What do you like best about the school?>

Probably my friends. It's fun to see them every day and hang out with them.

What's your favorite subject?>

Probably math or gym. I'm sort of good at math, so that makes it a little fun. I'm in a lot of sports, so that makes it (gym) more fun.

What do you like to do in your free time?>

I read, swim (with the YMCA Gators, qualified for state competition in 50 freestyle this spring) or go outside and play or hang out with my friends.

What kind of books do you like to read?>

I'm into a little fantasy, a little mystery, some fiction, a little folktale.

Who is your role model? >

My parents, because they help and support me. They do a whole bunch of stuff for me - probably more than they should.

What do you want to be when you grow up?>

I really love animals. I think I'll probably do something with animals like be a vet or something.
