Use five adjectives to describe yourself:
Thoughtful, friendly, observant, funny, imaginative.
What are you passionate about? (Tell us about a special talent/skill that you have or a cause you are active in.)
I've been dancing since I could walk! Now I'm 16 and still doing it. I'm constantly trying new forms of dance- from ballet, to hip-hop to African and Swing dancing. Dance is art, exercise, therapy, activism, and just fun. I'm so passionate about it, and I feel like knowing my body and how to move is such a great tool to have. Dance makes me feel beautiful. And when I'm not dancing I can still carry that feeling with me.
When you were 5, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A mom. Because mine was so amazing. Also a fairy-princess-ballerina-hairstylist.
What artist/song would your friends be most surprised to find on your mp3 player?
It's a three way tie: Bill Cosby's standup, Missy Elliot, and a recording of myself-singing and playing ukulele.
What made you laugh recently?
So many things. Tonight, I heard stories about my grandmother-told to me (and acted out) by my mother. One in particular involved her (my grandma) eating a giant head of cabbage like biting into an apple while pacing around the house. When acted out, it was pretty hilarious.
If you could be exceptionally rich, exceptionally gorgeous, or exceptionally brilliant, which would you choose, and why?
NONE. I'd rather be ordinary and nice than exceptional. Too much pressure there. But if I HAD to choose, then exceptionally brilliant, because then I'd be smart enough to find a way to make myself exceptionally rich and beautiful. Or be smart enough to realize those things didn't matter.
If a story about you was featured on the evening news, what would the headline be?
Teen Girl Makes a Million Bucks Selling Jokes on a Street Corner. (I actually do that with my friend, but we've never come close to a million. Still, I can dream, right?)
What is your favorite purchase made in the last 6 months?
Oh jeez..I can't think that far back... I guess I would have to say the eight dollars that it cost to take (okay re-take) my driver's license test. I passed the second time. Don't ask what happened the first. Good thing there's not an embarrassing moments category on here.
What reality TV show do you think you'd have the best shot of winning, and why?
So You Think You Can Dance. Probably not, actually, but I wish. Hmm, I don't think I WOULD have a real chance of winning a reality show, I think having cameras on me 24/7 would be way to hard!
How has clear skin helped you to achieve your goals?
When I have clear skin I feel completely uninhibited! This quality has helped me in so many different situations, from auditions and dance performances, to starting a new school and making new friends-all of which I have overcome in the past year, with the help of an acne-free complexion-for the most part.
