1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
I have been volunteering with the National Organization for Women’s Safety Awareness, Inc. since I was 9 years old and I am currently the Teen Ambassador for this special charity. I have had the opportunity to attended board meetings, fundraisers, and personal safety seminars and I am very proud to have assisted this organization with the development and implementation of several personal safety initiatives.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Last year, I created and launched a website, UWillBOK.com, which is dedicated to raising awareness about Teen Sadness & Depression. It is a place where I can share information about this serious and often overlooked topic. I want anyone who visits the site to know they are not alone and that with proper guidance, they will be ok.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
The sports I enjoy most are somewhat unique. I love archery (it’s really fun putting a quarter on the target and trying to hit it with my arrow), quad riding (I experience such a sense of freedom when I ride and I’m always with my family which makes it even more special) and boxing (I get a terrific work out while I am learning self-protection).
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
I never worry about “imperfections” on any digital photographs because I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop when I was 8 years old. My dream is to one day incorporate graphic design, drawing and video/photo editing into my career.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
Two of my best friends are my cuddly sugar gliders, Lucy and Belle. They are small, playful, and entertaining marsupials that are very social. Their enclosure has always been in my bedroom because if they do not receive constant love and affection, they can develop symptoms of depression.
