What’s your favorite subject/class in school, and why?

 My favorite subject in school is ELA. For the past 6 years, ELA has been the most consistent class through middle school and high school. It’s always a great time for me and I’ve had good teachers, read great books, and learned many things on what it means to be a good reader and writer.

What’s your favorite activity you’re part of (or hobby you do), and why?

My favorite hobby is listening to music. Music is such a big part of my life; I use it every single day and it makes me feel many emotions. I also love the physical media of music. Although I don’t own any of it, it’s really cool. Some of my favorite genres are rock, hip-hop, and electronic, my favorite bands are Queen, Gorillaz, and Pink Floyd (just to name a few). I can go on all day about some of my favorite artists.

Do you know what kind of jobs you’re interested in pursuing in the future? If so, what jobs and why?

My top three jobs that I’m interested in pursuing in the future are CSI, Rally racer, and or Youtube influencer. Crime scene investigation really interests me, and I  want to learn so much more about it. In addition to this, I would like to get into rally car racing, because it’s such an interesting sport. The amount of work that goes into this racing sport is insane and the sound of the engine is amazing. And finally, YouTube has always been a part of my life. I have been using YouTube for all of my life and always wanted to be someone who could create content. The good news is that I have already started this career, and it hasn’t blown up yet.
