What else would you like to talk about?
I think it's important to have a healthy body and mind. Health is extremely important and what you put into your body. What you feed your body and how you treat yourself is important. I can't stress that enough, if you don't feel good you should look at what you are eating.
What do you feel passionate about or could talk about forever?
Fitness and sports.
How did you find your photographer? What was your experience like? What did you love most?
My mother has worked with him in the past. I just always knew that he was professional and easy to work with. It seemed so quick and easy to what I thought it was going to be. We actually laughed and had a great time.
What is a favorite memory with or thoughts of the person who nominated you?
Probably, that day of the shoot. We laughed a lot, especially at peoples reactions to us trying to get some of the shots we were trying to get. We had to climb under and over some places most people wouldn't think to go.
Why do you want to be in Inspiring Teens Magazine?
To show others from my area that we are something and can get out. To do more than what is asked. If you are going to do something put your heart into it. Don't just do it baseline. Push yourself as hard as you can to be better and better each time. That's how you change. How you make progress.
If you win a scholarship, what will you do with the money?
I will use it to push myself to be better and to gain more traction in my life. Further myself in my goals. They may change depending on what I am doing in my Military career at that time.
