Growing up I never really had a nickname, but as I grew up I got called African queen by my teacher and I love it. I love it when  people give me nicknames.

favorite story as a young person person was back in my country when my cousins would tell me a story about a rabbit and a tortoise, I find the story interesting because it it showed how the unexpected can always happen and don't judge a book by it cover. In my opinion I think the story teaches us not to be too proud of ourselves and the things we do because tables can always turn.
my special talent is that I can dance. I've always loved dancing, I even choreographed and participated in my school's black history month dance. another talent of mine is i can cook, I like trying new stuff so I'm always coming up with new recipes.

I can interact with my lip balm, because I apply it to my crusty lips. Whenever it my lips will cry from dehydration until i apply my lip balm.

My favorite place to relax is my room because it is quiet and peaceful, it's a place where I can gather my thoughts. my room is a place where I can sleep off any exhaustion.

I would describe myself as independent, energetic, humble, appreciative, determined, and enthusiastic.

1. I had multiple nicknames growing up, but these are the ones that stuck with me since my childhood. These are some of the nicknames I've grown up with, and so far, most of my family and close friends call me Angeliz, Debo, and Debbie. The nickname Angeliz come from my middle, Debo and Debbie it's shortened from Deborah  but my preferred nickname is Debo. My Read-Aloud character name is Bori Power. I've picked this name because I'm Boricua and it's short for Bori. There's also Puerto Rican flag on my superhero.

2. Juana Borda's "Power Latino Leadership culture, inclusion, and contribution" is my favorite book. Reading this book has expanded my understanding and changed my outlook on society on several different aspects. It talks about embracing diversity, valuing people, and taking action  and creating a difference in the community.

3. Some of my special talents is that I'm a artist I can draw and paint. Another special talent is that I can make people laugh uncontrollably. I love making people smile and cheer them up.

4. A 5 course meal is an item I can put to life. One way I can bring it to life is by mixing all the unique ingredients. Eating it and loving every taste of it is a way I connect with food.

6. My favorite place to relax is on the field and on the court now and as a child. I began to lay sports when I was 5 it became apart of me ever since. It's a place where I can enjoy myself and play my heart out. To me, playing sports is like an escape from the rest of the world. Once you step on the field or court nothing else matters it's just you, your teammates, and the opponent.

7. Determined, Selfless, Ambitious

8. What does your character wanna advocate for?

When I was younger they used to call me divine muhungu which wasn't my favorite nickname because muhungu means boy in kinyarwanda. They called me this because growing up I never grew my hair out. I was bald. The nickname didn't stick much cause I didn't like it.  When I began my journey as a high schooler, some random person I don't remember heard my last name "Tamali", they said "oh like the candy hottamali". From there people continued to call me hottamali and I actually liked it so now that's my nickname.

I never read as a child. My sophomore year in high school I finally decided to get the book "No Excuses" By Brian Tracy and I loved the book. It's basically about self-discipline and personal success, Finances, Sales, Business and The Good life.

My talent is that i can dance. I don't dance much in public its always in my room, the living room, when I'm eating, and when I'm just around people I'm close to and comfortable with.

My show and tell item is mascara because I feel like it's a part of me. It makes me feel beautiful when I apply it to my lashes..

My super power would be Teleporting because I just think it would be a cool superpower to have.

My super hero best friend would be my younger sister because we are the only two girls in our family out of 7 boys and I would just want to experience that with her.

Growing up my place to relax was under the avocado and jackfruit trees in my compound. It had fresh air and a shed which was really important since it's very hot in Africa.

My special talent would probably be my voice range. I can sing all over the scale from baritone to soprano.

If I had to choose one object it would my water bottle. All of my friends would know I always have some sort of water bottle with me at all times and they're something I personally love a lot.

my superpower would definitely be some sort of healing ability. I've always loved to take care of people and heal people if I can. So I feel it's only right for me to have healing abilities.

I think my superhero best friend would be my little brother. He is the most important thing in my life and having him as my best friend just makes me an even stronger superhero.

Also as a child my place to relax was the woods. Growing up in the country I was just out in the woods all the time as kid. It was always so peaceful and I always felt safe in my fort in the woods.

I don't have a special talent, but I can do weird things with my thumbs and wrists!

I’m always all over the place in my head but somehow, I get everything straight and my work done in time. My friends are more put together in their mind to keep me going strong.

My favorite place to relax and have fun as a kid was my pool. I loved to swim in it and play games with my brother or my friends when they came over. We also would use the floats to make wave pools, play with the diving toys or just have cannonball contests.

In my grade there were 10 kids named Matt. So every Matt needed a nickname. Mine was randomly picked as Carp. When I was in middle school my football coach just started calling me carp for no reason. and it stayed with me that even my parents call me carp. And this year when I won Homecoming king my grade just started chanting "CARP! CARP! CARP!" so even though this nickname is supper random... I love it.
My favorite book/book series was the "Who Was" books my favorites were Who was George Washington and Who was Jackie Robinson. Read these books at least 10 times and my mom thinks my love of history comes from reading these books 24/7
My special talent is definitely a good memory. I could have just met you one time and in 5 years when I see you next time I would remember your name, where we met and who we where with. and my memory gets even better when it comes to sports. I can name at least 5 players on every MLB,NFL and NHL team. I can name who has won the mvp of every league in the past 10 years and I can name a lot of other stuff. So if you ever need a answer for something sports... let me know.
My supper Power would be to stretch very long. Like Mrs Incredible. I was always the shortest and I still am. so when I play basketball with my friends I'm always the person they ick on or they just don't pass me the ball. so if I could stretch and dunk or just get around my 6'7 buddy I think that would be pretty cool.
My favorite place to hang out as a kid was my little league baseball park called Mel Ott. even if I wasn't playing a game I was up there watching and playing with my friends. Mel Ott is a special place in my heart and will always be. Still work there to this day in the snack stand and my mom is on the board of the League. next summer when you are bored come to the snack stand to have the best fingers in WNY!!! I think they are better than Tullys.

My nickname when I was younger was Bubba which I believe came from my family. My family has a problem with the letter B because they named us Brianna, Brandon, Brady. And my nickname also starts with a B and so does my sister which is BB.
My favorite book as a child was the dog who found christmas. And when I re read this book I realized it was a sad/happy book in a way. It is about a puppy who was born and raised by one family until they got rid of him on the side of the street and left him there. He then went around looking for a place to belong until he sat with carolers singing at an old man's door. They all soon realized that the dog was sitting there and what was heartwarming about this book was the old man took him in. I really love this book because it just goes to show you everyone has a place to belong. 
My special talent is making stuff disappear. This especially includes my keys and wallet. I was so good at it I made my first set of key disappear for good even with a tracker on it. No one has been able to find it ever since them and I highly doubt I will ever see them again. 
My show and tell item just has to be Stitch. This has been one of my favorite characters because he is just crazy and likes to have fun. He is also blue and who doesn't love the color blue (it is my favorite color). I have a ton of them and the ones you will see in my video are only the beginning. The crazy rascal has been a part of my life and I'm always down to watching one of the movies.
My super power would be the ability to open portals that can go anywhere and anytime. I think it would be so cool to see all of the amazing sites in the world and to go back in history and experience the culture, like who wouldn't want to be on a trip with me. Also my superhero best friend would have to be Lucia because i'm going to need help understanding all of the different languages I come across.
My favorite place to hang out as a kid was my church's basement. It was used for girl scout activities (my mom was a scout leader) and I got to go running around playing hide and seek or just chilling on my nintendo with some of my friends while she was doing activities. 
My character in three words would be crazy, fun, and adventurous. The question I would ask myself would be, What in the world are you thinking of now?

My favorite book is Amelia Bedelia. It was so funny and different, and I got the book from one of my most favorite people, so It had a special meaning to me. The book brought me joy and lots of laughter at the character.

Ever since I was little, even to this day, my nickname has been Zoe, also known as my twin's name. Teachers, friends, and family have called me by this name. Even my own mother thought I was her at times so it is only fitting to use it for my character name.

My favorite book as a child was Farmer Chuck by Fisher Price. It wasn't an awesome book, but it was the first book I ever read. I remember going one page at a time, not going to the next until I could read the whole page without help. I was frustrated the whole time (actually think I threw it once), but felt a sense of accomplishment once I finished.

Read Aloud Character Name: Zoe
Super-Power: transforming into my twin sister
Super-Hero Best friend: The Real Zoe (Twin sister)

Favorite place to relax as a kid would be the bedroom I shared with my sister, ironically I moved a lot as a child so our bedroom would be different everywhere we moved.

Three words to describe myself would be giggly ( I often laugh at inappropriate times, or too often ), compassionate, and easy-going.

When I was younger, I would sometimes get called Thunder, my teachers started calling me Thunder and all of a sudden my friends started yelling it out loud whenever they saw me. It kind of just suck with me throughout elementary school but no one really calls me that anymore.

My favourite book as a kid were the "No, David!" books. David was such a bad child and I hated how bad he was but I could never stop reading the books. It was very intriguing all the things he would do and get yelled at for but now that I think about it, he was just a kid trying to have fun. Although it made me frustrated reading how much of a bad child he was when I was younger, it always fascinated me to find out what bad things he will do next.

I think my special talent is making art, whenever I am bored I will pick up an art project which most of the time is painting or coloring. I like to see all the wonderful things a single coloured pencil or paintbrush can make.

For show and tell, I would like to show my giraffe pillow pet. My favourite animal is a giraffe I love them so much and I have been obsessed with them for so long now, I even have a collection of giraffe toys and paintings. But my giraffe pillow pet is my favourite giraffe item because it is the oldest and I would take it everywhere I went, he was like a built in friend and sidekick. I think he would be my superhero best friend.

My superhero power would be telepathy, I would love to read minds and know what everyone is thinking about. I was such a curious child and I still am, but being able to read minds would be so cool and would solve a lot of mysteries for me.

My favourite place to hangout when I was a kid was my backyard at my old house, it was very big and I had two garages where one was to play in. I would run around and play with my brothers and friends back there and the open space made my imagination go wild.

My character in three words would be, curious, creative and passionate. A question I would ask myself is "What image did you create in your head today?"

My favorite book as a child was "Nim's Island". This book is about a girl named Nim who lives on an island with her father, Jack. Nim and Jack are the only two people who live on this island and they couldn't be happier. Nim was able to explore the island as a kid and hang out with her animal friends. One day the island gets invaded with tourists and it is up to Nim and her friends to save her every so precious home. This book made me feel like anything was possible because Nim was so brave.

My special talent would be that I am able to make anyone feel better by teaching them how to dance. Whenever someone is in a sad mood we will just dance it out!

I have two show and tell items today. My show and tell items are my ballet shoes and my boxing gloves. I brought them both because they describe who I am. I have been a dancer for 15 years and it is a part of me that will never go away. Dancing is my outlet and shows my delicate and graceful side. On the other hand boxing shows my fierce and powerful side. Both of these make me a strong but also empathetic individual.

My superhero power would be to be able to speak all different languages. This would be my superhero power because I would be able to travel the world and get to talk to everyone from anywhere.

My favorite place to hang out as a kid was my boat. My whole family would go out every weekend and swim and tube in the lake.

My character in three words would be, fierce, graceful, and compassionate.

A question I would ask myself is, Do you like dancing or boxing better?

As a child my dad always loved to call me bug, butttt, I did not like that nickname. Instead, I created my own nickname Phoenix and I chose this name to represent me because I created a character that describes my personality. The definition of phoenix is "a person or thing regarded as uniquely remarkable in some respect." This fits my character perfectly. My character has the most beautiful rainbow hair and whenever she comes across someone she immediately understands what they are going through. The point of having rainbow hair would be to shoot whatever the person is missing into their heart. For example, if someone is feeling sad, my yellow strand of hair would shoot happiness into their heart to make them happier.

My favorite book growing up as a child reflects this read aloud character very perfectly. My favorite book was "The rainbow fish" The rainbow fish was the most beautiful in the sea and learned that he wasn't going to make any friends unless he shares and becomes friendly. My read aloud character loves to share and is a great representation of the rainbow fish! It made me feel that with beauty, there needs to be a personality as well.

My special talent would be changing people's moods and listening to them talk! The glitter on my face also changes color depending on my mood.
I love to help people and love listening. I also, can pick things up with my feet and love to do it on a daily basis!

For my show and tell item, I picked would be the St. Michael pin that my family gave me which goes in my car to protect me and my passengers from any danger. This is sentimental to me because my grandma that passed away loved St. Michael. It makes me feel safe and secure in my car.
On a non-sentimental note, glitter would be another show and tell item because you either think of glitter and think "amazing" or you think "messy" but I have glitter on one side of my face which resembles what mood I am feeling! Plus, Glitter is very pretty.

My superhero power would have to how the glitter on my face changes different colors throughout the day, depending on my mood. My superhero best friend would be invisible so we could prank everyone around us. I would wear a yellow shirt with black pants.  I don't want to draw even more attention to myself with bright hair!

My favorite place to hangout when I was a kid were playgrounds. I loved the excitement of doing the same thing every day. I loved the monkey bars until I got hurt really bad one day. But, I learned that getting hurt one time won't ruin all the fun I have had previously, sooo I kept going!

My character in three words would be outgoing, friendly, understanding.

The question I would ask myself is "How many hair sessions did it take you to get that color?"

As a child my mother would call me her little angel, but I am really embarrassed when she calls me that. My whole entire family calls me Cassandra Marie because when I was little I would never respond to just my first name when I was around five. Then as I grew up I have had a lot of my friends in elementary school would just call me Marie, because at one point in time I liked my middle name more then my first name. The name Marie reminds me of my grandma because i got my middle name from her, so my "dude's" name is Marie.

My favorite books to read when I was a child was Rainbow fish and Junie B. books. I don't really remember why I liked The Rainbow Fish all I remember is that it was a book everyone in my family would read me. i really think that I liked it because the fish was really colorful. Junie B. books i read throughout elementary school because my favorite cousin would read them with me along with telling me how her school day went.

I don't really have a secret talent more like a hobby, but I love to draw. My siblings will sit down with me and we can draw for hours.

My show and tell item is my drawing book that I draw in with my brothers. This drawing book is the one my brother Bastian got me for my graduation present. I always draw in this book when ever I am homesick and missing my family.

If I had to pick a super power I would love to be able to draw everything, but I want to able able to draw anatomy. I am not very good at drawing people.

My favorite place to go when I was a kid, even now I still go, and that place is the playground and the library. I go to the playground with my brothers and my friends. The library is a place where I can calm my head and focus on my work.

My character in three words would be: understanding, kind, and empathetic.

When I was a kid my grandpa gave me the nickname messy Jessy because I always made a mess.
My favorite book as a kid was Junie b.I could really relate to Junie B because she was this firecracker kindergartner that had a blast with everything.
My special talent is being able to shoot a bow and arrow.
I can't do a handstand, I think if I tried I would break something.
I used to be able to play the clarinet in middle school, but I don't know how that would go now.
My show and tell item is the metal dog I got from Florida. This is very special because it reminds me go one of my dogs we use to have but sadly he passed away.
What my superhero power would be is controlling water. As a kid I loved to be in water so I always wanted to control it. My super hero best friend would be someone who could control fire because we would be a dynamic duo. I would wear a blue shirt with a black skirt.
My favorite place to hang out at as a kid was are cottage in Chautauqua.I loved going down there as a kid because we had a boat and my dad would pull us on a tube and it was always a great time.
My character in three words would be:making a mess
A question I would ask myself is, Why are you always making a mess?

When I was a kid, my aunt came up with a nickname for me... Gracie Goopie, I know weird right. I am not exactly sure how it came about, I just know that it has literally stuck with me for the past 18 years of my life, most of my family members call me that to this day. I will use this name for my character because I think it is unique and I think that the kids would love it as well.

As a kid my favorite book was, 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?'. This book made me feel super happy, (apparently I made my Mom read this to be like 3 times every night for like a year) It also made me excited to learn to read!

In regards to a special talent, I'm not sure if this is considered a talent, but I threw shot put, discus, and weight throw for track in high school and had two school records for shot put and weight throw for indoor track. So I could say my talent is I am strong!

My show and tell object will be my necklace that I received from my late Uncle Bob, I wear this whenever I feel sad or when I get hard on myself, and it always finds a way to make my mood better. I am not exactly sure how a necklace can do that but I won't ask too many questions.

My favorite place to hang out as a kid would be my backyard swing set. I loved being on there because whenever I would get on the highest tear of it I always felt like I was on the top of the world!!

3 words I would describe my inner dude as would be: Curious, Adventurous and Outgoing.

Growing up everyone just called me Maddie friends, family, coaches, and even some of my teachers so that’s the names that always kind of stuck with me. Chika Chika Boom Boom was probably my favorite (short) childhood book, I did also enjoy the Junie B. Jones series. I probably owned just about all of them.
A special talent I have is this cool yoga move where I balance my legs on my elbows and slowly bring my legs into the air, kind of turning into a headstand but I wouldn’t call it that myself.

My show and tell is my box of scrunchies. I have plenty, I get to express each emotion with all the colors I have. I have velvet and silk ones too!
Mind control would be a cool superpower to have so when I go shopping I could get things for free because I love shopping (but who doesn’t)! I would have intelligent, hardworking friends who have similar hobbies. My superhero is smart, hardworking and outgoing.

As a child my favorite place to relax was at my campsite, there’s playground and trails and I love to explore new things. A question My question is “What do you desire?”

As a child my nickname was Tahjy just like Taj but with a Y. My mother gave me my nick name when I was four. But there's no fun story behind my nickname it was just that my mom got tired of calling me Tahjama. My favorite book as a child was Flat Stanley the original adventure. This book allowed my brain to follow him right on his journey. My special talent is picking things up with my feet, I know gross, but its actually pretty cool. I can pick up coins, pen and pencils. I can not do a headstand that right there is not one of my tricks. I can not rap or tell really bad jokes, I have a funny  personality so I like to think that there's no reason to tell bad joke when you have good ones right? I also can't dance even though I did cheer for 5 years. My favorite place to relax as a child was in my basement that my mom transform until a playroom, the best place to go to when I was a child I got to play alone and play games such as school. I was the teacher of course. The superpower that I wish I had was the power to cool off people with my mouth. The reason for this is because I always get hot at the wrong times, so why not have the superpower to cool not only yourself but others too. My outfit would be Pink shirt with black jeans because those are my favorite colors . There are three words that would define my superpower, they would be crazy, funny and late.
I always wonder why I was always late.
The question I would ask myself is will you be late today?

As a kid and currently my nickname has always been Pells. I don't know why people have always called me that. I guess it's short for Pellicane, but that has always been my nickname since 6th grade.

My favorite book as a kid was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. That was my favorite book because my parents always read it to me and I always found the book to be super entraining.

My special talent is actually something I recently just picked up. I am actually a DJ I have all the equipment for it the turn tables the software and a giant speaker that goes with it. I have DJ at birthday party's as well as graduation party's. I find it a lot of fun and I'm slowly learning how to do everything.

For show and tell I actually have my DJ turn tables. I know that it corresponds with my talent but DJ is a hobby I truly like to do and have fun with. I always have a great time whenever I use it.

A cool superhero power I would want is telekinesis. I think it would super cool to have the power to move objects with your mind just like that. Ive also tried doing it as a kid hoping that it would work one day but sadly in never did.

My favorite place as a kid to hang and relax as a was my basement. I have a finished basement so me and friends would always go down there just to hang out and play games. I have a tv and a xbox down there so we would just play video games down there and hang out most of the time

My character in three words would be
Brave,Creative, and smart

A question I would as myself is, What is the plan for today going to be ?

Once you write out your reflections, remember to draw and post a photo of your super hero, and post a video of you performing the first four questions listed above. I gave an example performance in class. You can record in Padlet or upload something from your computer or phone. Be expressive and animated :)

My favorite happy dance song has to Dancing Queen by ABBA from Mamma Mia.
My favorite book as a child used to be the "choose your own adventure" books because I loved the concept of a different outcomes to one beginning of a story. I was probably one of those only books to actually keep me entertained and kept me in anticipation.
My special talent is being about to make a foot tall soft serve ice cream cone.
I used to be able to do a headstand but I have not tried recently nor do I think I want to try. I am able to mediocre drums but do not dance or rap.
The super hero version of myself that I always wanted to be was a mind reader. The reason for this is because when I was younger I used to get very anxious around people because I did not want to embarrass myself or do something they would not approve of. My attire would be the stereotypical spandex type "Incredibles" suit that is purple and green, because those were my favorite colors. My friends are true and honest people given that I would be able to tell what they actually think, but I would thrive on maintaining a good relationship with my family.
My favorite place to relax as a kid was my favorite sand and water toy box. My twin brother and I would spend hours outside under the tree house my dad built playing in that thing. When I was a kid, I used to try to be outdoors as much as I could, which is funny now considering I am not a fan of the heat.
My "show and tell" item is a little key chain of a Pokemon that my brother gave to me when I got my first car. I chose this item because my brother like Pokemon and is interesting in that but is also very protective over his things. So when he gave me this the day I got my first car, it felt extra special because he was able to give me one of his personal possessions.
I never really had a nickname growing up. Lots of people to this day still call me "Grace" instead of "Gracie" but it really never bothered me. But when I would be in trouble when I was younger my dad would call me "Gracie Alex"; my middle name is Alexandra.
In three words, my superhero is "a people pleaser".
Who exactly is it that you want to help?
