What is one essential you
must have when studying?
I need a quiet place to
study with no TV and a
studying guide to study
with for that test. I also
need the weekly newsletter
to study for our weekly
test such as spelling and
vocabulary.
What do you like to do
when not in school or
studying?
In my spare time I like
playing with my brothers,
cooking, going to
Girl Scouts, playing volleyball,
swimming and
watching TV.
What is your dream job?
My dream job is to own
a five-star bakery in Paris,
France, because I love to
bake and I have always
wanted to go to Paris,
France – the city of love.
What are some of your
most played songs on your
iPod?
I play the Jonas Brothers’
“Happiness Begins”
on repeat at least nine
times a day.
What is one thing people
don’t know about you?
Most people don’t know
that I am very, very, very
scared of the dark.
Whom do you look up to
and why?
I look up to Michael
Phelps because I am a
swimmer on a swim team,
LWSA Gators. I always
watch him on the Olympics
and hope to see him
in 2020.
What do you keep under
your bed?
I keep my journal under
my bed and a secret pile of
my mom’s printer paper so
she will not see it and get
mad.
Who is your favorite
teacher and why?
My favorite teacher is
Ms. Grotto because she is
always telling funny jokes
and lets us play with slime
in daycare.
What’s your favorite class

studies because you

about is culture.
What’s one thing that
stands out about your
school?
It is a small family-like
community and people are
always sending love and
support.

do you wish your school
had?

they can offer.

thing about school what
would it be?

What’s your favorite
thing to eat in the
