Your favorite children's book, and why . . .

My favorite childhood book was Green Eggs and Ham because I used to love to read it out loud. I read it with such enthusiasm that everyone wanted me to read it to them. It was like I was putting on a show.

If you could be a character in any novel, who would you be and why?

I would be Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter. I say Ginny because she's a excellent wizard and she lives in this fantasy world. Ginny is surrounded by her wizard family which would be cool.

 

Explain the worst job that you've held. 

I worked at a packaging company for one day. It was terrible we only had three breaks, two of those are five minutes for the bathroom and thirty minutes for lunch. Also I was in the assembly line there standing for nine hours.
