In the summer would you rather go to the beach or go camping? why?

The beach, because I find it relaxing just hearing the waves crash against the shore. But also my mom loves the ocean and I think I just inherited that love for the water from her.

Not starting cheer earlier, like in high school because I feel that I could be doing so much more now if I did.

If you had three wishes what would you wish for and why?

My first wish would be to help people who come to the U.S, who want to come the right way. Because I have family who want to come to the U.S because they don’t have all the good resources that we have but can’t because it is such a long and hard process. My second wish would be to help out any kid in the foster system, or in bad situations that their parents put them in, because kids don’t really have that many options or resources that adults do and my final wish would be to help people feel better about themselves.
