What do you think of all the record-breaking flooding?

I was nervous, because I live right around the corner, so I was nervous as to what was going to happen.

January is National Hobby Month. What's your favorite hobby and why?

I would say hanging with family, being around my family. That's just something I like to do, because I like to talk, I like to communicate and I like to get to know what's going on in everybody's lives.

If you could have any animal for a pet, what would you have and why?

I would have a dog. I am so lonely; I live by myself, so I want someone there with me that don't do a lot, just kind of hang out with me.

When you were a kid, what was your favorite television show? Why?

My favorite television show when I was a kid would probably be "Arthur." I watched it every day after school.
