Did you go to college? No. What was high school like for you?
It was a rollercoaster. A lot of I would say I had a lot of good memories in high school, but I did also have a few major issues in high school.

As a human?
Okay. Who were your role models growing up, if you had any?
Not at all. I actually didn’t have any role models. I feel like role models can be interpreted differently. There’s somebody that could be a role model in a way that you never want to be like them. And then there’s people that could be a role model like you want to grow up and be like them.I feel like I never had any bad or good role models. More like every person is their own person. Everybody has their good and bad, so I don’t really want to judge anybody on their faults. So I’m my own role model.
Did you have a person you looked up to?
I was in my grandma because my grandma’s a very hard-working person. Even now, she’s retired. She’s off in the country. She hates not doing anything, so she’s still working even though she’s retired.

Big belief is respect. Respect is a thing for sure. I am a very loyal person, so loyalty is very big belief. I’m very warming and kind-hearted to everybody. I like to know people first before I judge them or if I see something. I’m really good at getting an understanding of somebody just by their actions. I don’t know what that’s called. I can observe it. I can tell how a person is just by observing them.

To stop being lazy. To stop giving up for sure. No matter how hard things may be, there’s always It’s something you can do about it and you can create your own happiness.
Do you agree with what the next generation is doing now?
No. They all are wilin’. They’re given up really fast in choosing to make bad decisions instead of choosing right ones. I feel like everyone can do better than what they’re doing now. They all are doing a bad, too. But it’s okay. Everyone can learn and go. They just need the right person to help them with that.
