People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
I think if I were to be a Barbie doll, it would definitely be the original Barbie herself. This is because she is not only a fashion icon dressed in pink, but is known for her sparkling and upbeat personality. The people close to me often refer to me as Barbie because of my love for pink, my blonde hair, and my wide imagination!

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
I keep a magnet next to my bed in case of an emergency. This is because I have a VNS device made to help people who struggle with seizures. For me, the magnet is like rescue support. So when I start to have a seizure, I hold the magnet over my chest where my device was implanted, and it stops the seizure. It’s something unique to me, but it also represents strength and awareness.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I relate most to Rosetta from the Tinker Bell films. She’s fashionable, confident, and always happy to share beauty tips, but what I love most is her kindness and unwavering support for her friends. She has a little sass and a lot of heart, qualities I see in my personality. I love bringing positivity, creativity, and a touch of sparkle to the people around me, just like she does.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
I prefer to stay in the present, focusing on what’s happening now rather than dwelling on the past. While I am always prepared with a plan, I enjoy the surprises the future holds and want to experience them as they come. If I had to choose, I would pick the past—everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes I wonder what it would be like to go back and fix them.

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
If my parents were to describe my personality, I think they’d say I am kind, respectful, creative, responsible, mature, courageous, beautiful, and maybe a little stubborn at times. My mom often says the song “Wild One” by Faith Hill reminds her of me.
