What advice would you give to your younger self?

“In school to focus and not slack and try my hardest because in the long run you will have a lot of responsibility especially when you're a senior in high school. I say thus because if you suck in your freshman year you're gonna suck senior year. In general, I feel like you should live to the fullest. I feel like you shouldn't be scared to try something new and make new friends. Or take adventures and experience new things. I haven't experienced living my life to the fullest but adventures? Yes! Last summer my friend was learning how to drive but didn't know how to drive on the freeway that well. We went on the freeway and I was in charge of the GPS and I don't know if the GPS was dumb or I'm dumb because we kept taking the wrong exits,

but it's fun now because this is a memory I will never forget”.

Would humans be better or worse if we focused on what was

going well rather than what’s going wrong?

I feel like things would get worse if humans focused on what was going good because even though we would hope that the good would change people and influence them to be good, I feel like a lot of people do bad and if we ignore the bad then nothing’s going to change.

Why do we dream? 

"I think everyone has a different dream, I feel like we dream because we want to express ourselves when we're sleeping when we can't express our imagination to others out loud. It's like you're afraid someone might judge you for thinking all these different ideas. When you dream you don't have to be afraid of anyone else's opinions and you simply live freely. It is a safe and healthy environment."

What was the hardest experience you ever went through and how did you get through it? 

The hardest experience I ever had was in fifth grade in 2013 when my dad died. It was hard not having the relationship other people had with their dad´s at such a young age. What helped me through it was having my family being by my side and supporting me. My mother and I are strong believers in Jesus and we believe that he is always with us taking care of us.
