What news are you most interested in in the moment? Um, the conflict between Israel and Palestine, um, there is some major conflict going on and a lot of bombings going on at the moment so there's a lot going on with that. Is there an app that you really like and what does it do? Um, well recently I've been playing an app called Merge Mansion and it is a game where you merge items that look the same to create bigger items and you try to complete your tasks so I've been playing that in my free time. What did you do yesterday and can you give your daily schedule? So yesterday I had a photo shoot in the morning so I had to wake up early and iron all my clothes for the photo shoot, um, so that was at about 8am and, um, at about 9 I started on my makeup and hair and at about 9.30 I was heading to my shoot and I picked up a drink at Panera. It was a strawberry lemonade and my shoot went for two hours, it was great, um, and then I came home and my brother was working on fixing my computer because I'm having some issues with the wifi so for about three hours we were trying to work on fixing my new computer that I just built. Um, then I had a friend come over and we made a bunch of food and we all sat around the TV and watched the NASCAR races that were going on in Chicago and that's how I ended my night. What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Usually when I wake up in the morning if I don't have something like a photo shoot going on, um, I will get up and I will go on a run. What do you always do before you go to bed at night? At night I make sure my dog gets her medicine, I take my medicine, I do my skincare routine, and I put my hair into these little curlers so that it looks nice when I wake up the next morning. What do you do on your days off? Usually I spend them with my friends, with my family, I love to play video games so you'll find me playing video games a lot of times as well. Do you have any bad habits? Yes, I used to bite my nails a lot, um, I stopped biting them but sometimes it's still a bad habit and I can't help myself and I kind of nibble them down a little bit. But I like to try to keep them long because they look really nice and they're really strong. What was the last thing you cracked up laughing at? Um, I would have to say that was probably yesterday when we were watching the NASCAR races, um, it was me and my friend and my two brothers sitting around the TV watching and my two brothers got into a major argument about something that made no sense and didn't matter whatsoever and I was just laughing because that's just what it's like having brothers. What has been fun in your life lately? Well, I just got back from a trip to Mexico, um, it was amazing, we went to three different areas and I loved it, it was a beautiful place and it was great to get some time away. When was the last time you felt moved? It would have had to been when I was in Mexico on my trip about two or three weeks ago, um, we were visiting a really poor area and there were a lot of indigenous people and they were living on the streets, they would sell stuff on the streets all day and then you'd see children and stuff sleeping there at night and it really makes me appreciate what I have and where I've grown up and, um, the fact that we don't have to work that hard just to put food in our belly, um, and also it made me want to go help people and volunteer. So my next trip I'm planning on taking a, um, some type of like mission trip, maybe not, um, exactly that but something to help volunteer in and really help people in those situations out. What was the most expensive thing you bought recently? Um, it was definitely my new computer. I just built a computer for myself, um, for work, for gaming, for school and it was expensive and you can kind of see it back here, you can see it glowing, um, but I love it, it was totally worth it. What thing do you want most right now? Um, right now I am trying to sell my current laptop so that I can buy a MacBook instead because they are lighter and easier to travel around with so definitely want a MacBook right now. If you had a million dollars, what would you do? This is always such a hard question because it's hypothetical but I think I would definitely put a lot of money in savings, um, investing to basically grow my money, um, I would probably buy a business for myself, um, to be able to kind of start a life, um, I would help my family out and I would use the rest to probably, um, also take a volunteer trip and go somewhere and help people out. What is something you want to do at least once in your life? Um, I think it would have to be bungee jumping because I went skydiving already when I was 18 but I'm still terrified to go bungee jumping but I definitely know I want to do it someday. Who is someone that you respect? I can't really think of someone in particular that I feel, um, a ton of respect for but I guess currently I've been feeling a lot of respect for people who are immigrants and are coming to America and starting a new life here, um, feel a lot of respect for being able to do that and to be able to start over in that way and sometimes even learn a whole new language. I think that's amazing and people are so strong for doing that. Who is someone that you'd like to meet and what do they do? I think I would like to meet a travel vlogger and just talk to them and see how they started their journey and, um, cause they record videos, they make travel videos, and they go over the world and I think that's so cool. So I would love to know how they did it and basically to get some advice from them. What are your interests? I have a lot of interests. I like to do a lot of things. Um, so one of my main ones would have to be playing video games. I love animals. I have five pets at home. Three dogs, two cats. Um, recently I renovated one of my pieces of furniture and created a wood-like pattern on it so I completely changed the look of that. That was super fun. Recently I also built a computer, which is something I've never done before, but that was super fun too. And I've also become a plant mom and I've adopted five different plants. So let's hope I can keep them alive.
