Favorite Quote or Saying: "No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else."- P. T. Barnum

Free Time Activities: I love baseball. I play baseball on Saturdays and Sundays during the spring and fall. I also enjoy writing, but I rarely have time to work on my own stories. So far, all of the writing that I have done this summer has been for scholarship applications. To relax, I watch fantasy TV shows such as Arrow, Demon Slayer, and the Tales of Arcadia collection.
