1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
If I could make one rule in the world, it would be, “Never do to others what you wouldn’t want done to you.” It’s a simple idea, but incredibly powerful. If everyone lived by this rule, regardless of their background or beliefs, I believe the world would be filled with more kindness, respect, and peace.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
If I could have a superpower, I would choose the ability to stop time, only during the moments I’m enjoying with my family. With school, club activities, and many other things keeping me busy, I don’t get to spend as much time with them as I’d like. That’s why I wish I could pause those warm, happy moments and hold onto them just a little longer.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I believe a child or teen becomes an adult when they can accept and laugh about their past, including the mistakes and embarrassing moments. Instead of hiding them or feeling ashamed, they see those moments as part of their journey. Accepting your past, no matter how awkward or silly, shows growing confidence and self-awareness. That confidence, the ability to own your story, is a true sign of maturity.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
What I’ve learned is that comparing yourself to others doesn’t always lead to the best results. Competing with those around you can be important, but the most important thing is going at your own pace. It’s also really important to figure out what matters to you. I believe that walking your own path is the key to having a more fulfilling life in the end.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
I think the hardest job is a counselor who must judge whether a child is being abused based on subtle SOS signals. I once heard a heartbreaking story about a girl who lost her life because her cries for help weren’t fully heard. Counselors have to make the right decision with limited information and one mistake can cost a life.
