How old are you? 

13 

What do you like to do? 

I like to play video games like Kirby, Pokémon, and Sonic Mania on my Nintendo Switch. I also like the show BattleBots, where people make robots that fight each other. I also love to annoy people half to death! 

Do you have any siblings? 

I have a younger brother and a younger sister, who is extremely sarcastic.  

Who is your favorite teacher? 

Mr. Eli because he gets me. 

What is your favorite subject? 

Lunch! But I also really like math because I am good at it.  

Do you have any future plans? 

I want to make my own BattleBot and find all of the puzzle pieces in Kirby Star Allies.  

Are there any other fun facts about you? 

My favorite color is purple, I’m hysterical, I love spicy food, my nickname is “J-Dude,” and I look sick in track suits!
