1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
As a child, my dad used to tell me that I'd become a fairy if I ate enough vegetables. He would tell me every day that my fairy wings were growing when I would finish eating, trying to encourage me to eat well balanced meals. And, as you can imagine, I ate all of my vegetables.....but, no fairy wings!

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
I would definitely say rhythmic gymnastic skills! As a little girl, I would always watch rhythmic gymnastics during the Olympics. Being so unique and impressive, I've always been so fascinated by it. I would love to perform rhythmic gymnastics as a creative and awesome form of art.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
Aside from my family, my biggest supporter is my best friend, Ash. She was my first friend at my new school this year. Since day one, we have been inseparable. The teachers often call us twins, because we look and act just alike. Ash is always there for me through thick and thin, and I'm so lucky to call her my best friend!

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
My best costume was Miss Understood. Ironically, I dressed up as a beauty queen with a sash titled just that, "Miss Understood"! Three of my friends and I got dresses, crowns, heels, and different silly-labeled sashes while we were trick-or-treating; and that particular year, we were out for hours, and we definitely remembered to bring a change of shoes!

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
Applause, by Lady Gaga, always makes me want to get up and dance when I hear it. I love the beat, and it always carries me through and does the trick with my workouts. This song also holds significance to me, because whenever I get tired or max out, I always play it, and it pushes me that much harder!
