1.What is the funniest thing you remember as a child?
My best friend, Emily! I've known her since I was five years old, and we have a lifetime of "inside jokes." Emily has tried to learn Polish from me and she asks me to translate the silliest things. We ended up with our own language!

2.What is the one piece of clothing you wish you owned?
One thing I find unusual about myself is my unexpected use of colors. I dared to begin high school with pink highlights in my hair and I loved the look! I also love to vary my nails. It’s fun to use color to express my personality.

3.What season of the year is your favorite and why?
My dedication to health comes from my family. During the summer, we go to the park, play tennis and take long walks. Individually, I have been playing tennis since I was ten years old. This year is my third season of playing tennis on high school team.

4.What is your favorite movie?
You can’t go wrong with a pair of cute, all-American jean shorts! I enjoy them because I can dress them up with heels and bling or simply look casual in flats and a cute top. They are also articles for spring and summer, which are my two favorite seasons.

5.What song makes you think of yourself?
Good shoes! You cannot look good or walk well when your feet hurt, especially if you are on them for hours. I would love to buy some Converse, high heels and flats. $500 is a large amount of money, so I’d get a variety then pray my feet don’t grow!
