• My favorite color is black.
• My favorite franchise of all time is Star Wars. I love all of it. The movies (mostly the prequels and originals), the series, and the books/comic books. I’m currently learning how to read and write in the Star Wars aurebesh typeface.
• In the summer of 2013, when I was a little kid, I wore the blue 1960’s Batman mask everyday because I loved Batman, and I still do. He’s my favorite superhero in the DC movie universe.
• I’m very active. I’ve been in basketball, swimming, sailing, dance, and cross-country. I’m a fast runner. In 2nd and 3rd grade my class would play tag and race almost every day at recess. Whenever we did I always beat everyone in my class.
• From Kindergarten to 4th grade I went to a full Spanish immersion school and studied spanish there.
