[If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would it be?]

I would want to go to Rome, Italy. I have always dreamed about going there to see the landmarks, try the food, and experience the culture. I have been to Italy before for like a day, but Rome is the city that is like no other. I plan to visit it soon when I visit my family in France!

[What color/type of umbrella would you use?]

I would use a yellow umbrella because it will brighten my day, even if it is raining.

[If you were a mutant, what kind of powers would you have?]

If I was a mutant, then I would want to be able to water bend! With my cool martial arts skills, I am able to create anything with water! Surf my way to school, push water so fast that it cuts thing, fight any enemies that approach me, or even washing my car with ease. Water bending is a necessity for me and if you don't know what it is, look up "Avatar: The Last Airbender" =)

[If there was a zombie outbreak, what would be your weapon of choice?]

Awww, I don't like weapons though! If I didn't have to choose a weapon, I would choose a spaceship so I can blast off the planet. Since I have to choose a weapon, I would want to have a bazooka that never runs out of ammo/gunpower. That way, I can blow up everything without having to fear that I ran out of ammo!

[Coke or Pepsi]

Pepsi, if I'm gonna drink sugar, I'm gonna drink it sweeter. LOL!

[Breakfast or Dinner]

Breakfast! All of the foods are amazing and you can practically eat anything for breakfast! Remember, it is the most important meal of the day.

[Ribbon]

The reason why I chose the orange ribbon is because of two reasons: my first service project and my mommy. The orange ribbon raises awareness on two major causes, leukemia and lupus. For my very first service project, I volunteered at the Light the Night Walk which is hosted by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It was the event that inspired me the most to focus my time and energy in helping others. Since that event, I haven't stopped volunteering! Secondly, my mommy is reason why orange is my ribbon. My mom is diagnosed with lupus which means her immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and she can't fight off viruses, bacteria, and germs really well. Life is still normal for me knowing that my mom has lupus, but I always make sure to be very careful and watch her health so nothing goes wrong. Not a lot of people understand what leukemia or lupus is, but I hope my ribbon choice sparks your curiosity in helping these causes.
