My favorite cartoon is Popeye the Sailor, an amusing show illustrating unwavering loyalty, true friendship, and always standing by those we care about.

My favorite children’s book is Green Eggs and Ham, a fun story about trying new things and keeping an open mind.

My favorite childhood toy was an Etch A Sketch, which allowed me to doodle and explore my creativity.

My mom is and was my greatest inspiration. She was my best friend and always there when I needed her. She made me want to be the best person I could be. I want to live by her example. A selfless woman with a heart of gold.

I love children. There is nothing more exciting than watching them grow into adulthood. Being a positive influence in a child's life and development is probably the highest honor one can be awarded.
