What's your favorite Latin tradition?
Project Week. Recently, I did leather arts, and I think it was really nice and something I'm looking forward to for the next couple of years.
What did you make during the leather Project Week?
I made a lot of stuff, but I think my two favorites were belts and the shoes because those are our two main projects and it was just very interesting.
Why did you decide to rank it?
I've never explored leather making, so I think it was just I wanted to try something new.
Who do you most look up to?
I would say my mom because she's basically my role model, and she's always been there for me in life.
If there was one quality of your mom's that you could have, what would it be and why?
Just her kindness and patience.
What is your favorite thing to get from the kiosk?
I think I'll go with the basic, probably the chocolate chip cookie.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
To fly, because I'm just really interested in flying and I feel like that's just something really cool to me. I don't really want a superpower that actual superheroes have because I wouldn't really use it.
What would you say are you most hopeful about?
To go to a good college and get a good job.
What would your dream job look like?
I want to be a mechanical engineer.
What excites you about engineering?
Well, I've always liked math and science and engineering. I just like building things, and I like cars, and I feel like it would make sense for me.
