I know you want to be an astronaut when you grow up. Why?

I’ve always been interested in different planets and life that could live there.  

Why is science your favorite subject?

Well, because astronauts and astrophysicists need to have a good knowledge of science and so I know I need to know that because I’m getting there.

Do you enjoy chemistry?

Yes.  It is fun to learn about. It is not fun to cram studying about when you have 64 pages to learn and you know two and it is this weekend.

How did you do at the Chemistry Bowl and did you enjoy it?

I enjoyed it a lot; it was really fun.  I am one of the top ten chemists from 5th to 8th grade in New Jersey and the top in Hunterdon County.   Yay me!

What did you do there?

It was somewhat like a Jeopardy game. We had clickers with multiple choice questions and you would click A, B, C, or D based on what you thought it would be. I was happy we got to skip the written part.

Was Miss Bengels there with you?

Yes, of course.

Why do you have crutches?

So, my funny answer is:  I fell onto a bus. Monday morning I was walking up the bus stairs and I tripped and I have a contusion on my left fibula. … which is basically a bruise on the bone.

What do you do for fun when you don’t have crutches?

Figure Skate. Any day other than Friday, I will most likely be at the Bridgewater Sports Arena after school or in the morning. I wake up at five two days a week. Sometimes I need to nap at lunch on Mondays and Thursdays.

Why do you like figure skating so much?

Cause the first time I did it, I was fairly okay at it and one of my other friends, Sam, ended up in a cast for six months. I did not want to break my leg and so I took lessons and I got really good at it. Once this is gone, I’ll do it six days a week again.

One last question, why is your Musical.ly name Athena?

First of all, I deleted Musical.ly five months ago.  My dog’s name is Athena and literally everything else was taken.
