Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

 Don't let people define you, that I need to make a name for myself out in the world. That I came from a family that has nothing, two hard working parents that tried to give me everything. From people who the world consider "dangerous aliens" and family who talk down about me. From a male dominated world where women still aren't as equal as men. That in a man's eye, i'll never match him in anything: strength or intelligence. Where I need to work 10x harder to prove my point. To remind myself that I need to keep going no matter what happens, no matter the obstacles that appear in my way. To take care of myself because waking up everyday is a blessing since some people don't ever wake up. That I have so much to prove to people who don't think I'll do anything great in life. That life will never be fair and I just have to work with whatever I have. To never forget where I came from and what I suffered.

We just worked on our projects.

 I look forward to Christmas each year. I love Christmas because that's when I have winter break and get gifts. I am able to see my family that lives out of state and spend more time with my dog,Leo. Plus I get to sleep in and enjoy all the sweet treats. I love the memories I am able to make during Christmas. Finished up sensory presentation. I learned that I need more glasses than I realize. My dog, Leo is my entire world and that he's my everything.

It's Super Bowl weekend! Some people watch the Super Bowl for football, others for the commercials, and some just for the halftime show. What’s your favorite part of big events like this, and why?

 My favorite is the half time show since I personally am not into sports that much. I love watching the performances and how unique they get. Or when they sing a song that I haven't heard in a while. I also like when it's a surprise and you don't know what songs are playing. Overall, I am excited and ready to annoy my parents. We took a test and worked on missing assignments.

What do you think are your biggest strengths as a speaker? What challenges do you face when presenting in front of an audience?

 My biggest strength as a speaker is not feeling embarrassed to speak in front of others. I can speak clearly and loudly for those in the back to hear. I do face some challenges, I tend to overthink and get nervous since I don't want to mess up or stutter. I forget some information or when it's a signed topic and I don't know it well enough, I tend to try to make it up. I also don't like always being the only one speaking when it comes to a group project since it feels like everything is on me when it comes to speaking. People presented their projects.
