What got you interested in bowling? 

When I moved here from Miami, my mom put me in bowling. I’ve been bowling since I was 7 years old. I’ve tried other sports, but I just always stuck to bowling.

What are your plans for bowling after high school?

I’d like to do bowling in college, just so I can continue that. If not, maybe I’ll join a league when I’m older. I’m in the process of thinking where I want to go for college, but I want to go out of state.

Cats or dogs? 

Dogs, only because I’m allergic to cats. Dogs are more lovable.

What do you put on your pizza? 

Pepperoni and cheese. I’m plain.

Do you have a favorite sports team? 

It was the Miami Heat, but then all their good players left. I’ll say the Cavaliers.

Are you watching any TV shows right now? 

If I watch TV, it’s probably “Family Feud” or “Catfish.”

What’s your favorite subject in school and why? 

I took anatomy my sophomore year. I liked it because it got me more interested in the medical field. I was really intrigued in class.

Do you have any plans for Halloween? 

I’m just going to be home. If not, maybe I’ll go to a party.

Favorite place to eat? 

Kobe Steakhouse. I’ve been going ever since we were little. We go a lot and their food is really good. It’s addicting.

If you could have any super power, what would it be? 

Teleportation, because I run late a lot. It would be great if I could just teleport. It’s useful.
