Other than your family, who is a positive role model in your life: I’d have to say my wonderful dance teacher.

Without her I wouldn’t have been prepared to be a part of this magnificent team cheering on my favorite football team in the NFL.
If you had the opportunity to travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why: I would like to travel to Paris and explore one of the most enchanting cities in the world. I would love to learn about its cultural lifestyle for example: the food, the entertainment, the fashion, and the art. I most certainly can’t forget about the beautiful language of French, which I do hope to learn one day. It is great to be able to speak in different languages, it shows you how versatile one can be.
