1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My family makes me laugh the most. Sunday is our family day and is full of fun, jokes, and laughter. We hangout around the house, do an activity, and cook dinner together. My brothers never let a moment go by without making a comment or joke that is bound to make the entire family laugh until our stomach’s hurt. If I ever have a bad day, I can count on them to cheer me up.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
I’m an extremely clean person. My closet is color coded, in the order of the rainbow, and in shades from light to dark. I have a board hanging in my room that has slips of paper on it that tells me what my outfit is each day for the next three weeks. I have a bookshelf of movies that is organized in alphabetical order. I am consistently making sure everything is clean and spotless.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
My strangest fear is spiders. They absolutely terrify me. If an animal has more than four legs, I don’t want it near me. Not outside, inside, in my hand, someone’s hand near me, in a cage, no thank you. I have been afraid of them for as long as I can remember. Along with spiders, snakes and sharks are among my list of fears too. So maybe I fear animals whose names start with S.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
The best ice cream combination and toppings mimic my favorite dessert, a smore. Chocolate ice cream topped with graham cracker crumbles, hot marshmallow, and drizzled with hot fudge is like heaven in a cup to me. I get it year round, so I can have a little taste of the summer when it is 40 degrees outside in the winter.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
I am always myself in any situation and I really feel that is how everyone should be. Be formal when needed, but always make time to make yourself and someone laugh. “Be unapologetically yourself.” You live this life once, make it count, Be goofy, and spontaneous. Be brave, courageous, and strong. Be determined, compassionate, love everyone, and “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Be yourself. There’s only one of you, be the best version of yourself always.
