Tell me about what went wrong with your eighth grade science project.
Well, I was going to see which works best to catch fish: live bait or artificial bait. However, several things went wrong. I started fishing and it got really cold so I couldn't test it very well. So, I had an option of taking an exam and creating a musical instrument. I wanted working on a musical instrument and by then it became really warm, but it was too late to continue with the science project. I made a xylophone from wood and steel.

How many times a day do you text your friends?
It depends upon the day. Some days it's over 100 times.

How many friends?
(Laughing) Two. Then other days I might only text 10 times.
To how many friends?
(Laughing). Ten.
You have any favorite sports teams?
No, I could care less.

Are you looking forward to going to high school in the fall?
Yes. It helped that I attended show choir camp. Now I know more people.
