Question: If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

Answer: If I could live anywhere, I would want to live in Hawaii. Everyone there just seems to be enjoying life rather than just living it. I love fruits as well and as I’ve seen, Hawaii has such fresh fruits. Plus, the beach is my favorite place to be.

Q: What is the worst food you’ve ever tried?

A: I’m usually not picky about food but the one thing I have never been able to like is bitter melon soup. It’s a Vietnamese dish that I loathe. 

Q: Do you have any siblings?

A: I’m an only child. 

Q: What is your favorite family vacation?

A: My favorite family vacation was when we went back to Vietnam for the summer. I got to visit so many beautiful places. And because the last time I went back I was much older, I had permission to go out on my own with my cousins a lot and gained a lot of freedom. I even learned how to start driving a motorcycle.

Q: What is your proudest childhood accomplishment?

A: My proudest accomplishment was helping my parents study and pass the citizenship test. As immigrants, my parents barely understood English but they still wanted to do the test so that they could stay with me and give me a good life. So during that time, we spent hours each day studying together.

Q: If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?

A: I would choose to go on a hike or to the beach or do anything that involves the outdoors and nature. Because of SATs and exams, I’ve been constantly studying and doing work. I really just want a break where I can get some fresh air. 

Q: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?

A: I would rather drive a car. Especially at night because it brings me a lot of peace.

Q: How many pillows do you sleep with?

A: I sleep with 3 pillows. 2 head pillows and 1 long body pillow.

Q: Who was your first celebrity crush, and are you still into them?

A: To be honest, I’ve found a lot of celebrities attractive, but I was never really infatuated with them.
