A good leader must listen to others so they can think thoroughly on really which one is better. Listening to others can help make other better ideas happen. If a leader doesn't listen to others then that leader is not a good leader. Leaders need to consider what others say. A good leader needs to think of a citizen's point of view to view what others think about something. Not his or hers view. A good leader must have a strong body so when some virus attics him or her, they will be able to defend it off and won't be resting for long. A good leader must also face some troubles because every leader will have lots of people who love's him or her and some people who hate them. A good leader must have leadership to encourage others when things go wrong. Picking a leader is hard because you must judge them from lots of different perspectives. I wish our next president can make us go outside again.

A good leader is one who needs to have acceptance to be able to let someone else lead if they are worthy and more capable. A good leader would need to know what the citizens point of view, and from seeing the citizens point of view they should change things accordingly to make the world a better place. A good leader should give a new hope to the people in darkness. Lastly, a good leader should be able to forge a better America! ~ Kavya

A good leader should listen to others opinion and make sure a lot of people will be happy with this new change. They must have good leadership and keep the public informed of whats going on and how it can affect us (covid-19) and be able to lead the country through a crisis.

I think a good leader should listen to others instead of only doing what they think is right, I also think a good leader should help others.

A good leader should listen to other ideas and needs to respect the citizens

# data[].attributes.body
A good leader should listen and consider other people's ideas and not just their own. Leaders should apply themselves and do the very best they can to improve their community. They have a powerful and important role, and it is crucial that they don't take their role too far. A leader should have a good plan and strategy to achieve their goal. Also, they should be equal to everyone and welcome newcomers. I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think either Biden or Trump fit perfectly for president.
Trump is quick, but he is also rude and ungrateful to immigrants and deceased veterans. Biden is respectful, but a little too gullible. However, you have to choose the better apple out of 2 rotten ones. I have not chose yet.

I think a good leader is someone who will always put others safety before his. Someone who will help us not achieve as individuals, but as a group, a state, or a country. A leader is kind, courageous, gritty, and selfless. A good leader also leads by example and shows everybody how to make progress. Biden has qualities of a president who not only will do a good job, but as one that will achieve the goals of the United States of America. November 3rd is voting day and we all have a voice that needs to be heard, which is why we try to pick the right leader for our nation.

I think that a good leader is a leader who doesn't think of themselves as the top of the world. They should have empathy, and be kind of strict so order can come on the country, and they should be kind.

A good leaders is a key part to a thriving country. A good leader needs to be kind strong and brave to take risks. For these very reasons,  this election I think that Biden should be elected president because he will help stop covid-19 and try his very best to boost the economy. The qualities of Biden will make America a better place and having a good leader is a very crucial part of a thriving region.

Leaders are crucial to have becaues ones that are helpful have to be beneficial in some way. Three main qualities of a leader are dilligence, compatibility, and creativity. Dilligence is key to an amazing leader because if you are dilligent, you do not waste time and are hardworking. A  leader should be compatible so they will get along with others, causing no problems. The third quality that makes a good leader is their ability to be a creative thinker. Creativity plays a major role in a good leader because they have to think out of the box and compromise. Dilligence, compatibility, and creativity are qualities of a successful leader for these three reasons.

There are many qualities that make a good leader.  Top amongst them, I believe are humility, balanced with confidence, bravery and the willingness to lead others through change.  Change is hard, but leaders help others through these times with resolve, determination, and the hope of a brighter tomorrow.

Vihaan Chaturvedy's Opinion on Great Leader Characteristics

# data[].attributes.body
I think a great leader should have intelligence, humility, bravery, and takes a stand. A great leader should look out for the rest of its group and make sure it functions properly. A great leader should be brave and take risks and have a mind of its own- being a unique group counts! A great leader should have humility and should make sure the group is not impoverished in any way. A leader that shows kindness to all and does deeds to charity are the ones who all will love. Finally, an outstanding leader would be one that has knowledge. It should know the basics of its group and plan situations accordingly. It should have awareness of obstacles in the way. Someone who has all these personalities would be the best leader to a group, nation, place, or some other thing. Everyone should decide who becomes a leader, so they will be able to plan for the future of the organization.

The best trick I ever experienced was from my mom. (friend's mom) She told me that because of coronavirus, anyone in California had to redo their grade the next year. I was so spooked out and sad but then my mom clicked on a website which said, "April's Fools!" My favorite treat is probably boba tea, but there is a sweet snack I've been dying to try. It is called a chimney cake and it is from mid-Europe. It is basically a big cake rolled in sugar and dunked in melted chocolate. I hope to try it soon and if I like it, it may be my new favorite treat. (down below is a picture of chimney cake)

A great leader possess a clear vision, has integrity,  humility and clear focus. A good leader must have strategic thinking, and must always know what is right from wrong. A good leader listens to everyone's voices and leaves no stone unturned, until his people are safe and happy.

The best trick played on me was when my family came to visit from Singapore and India. My mom and dad would go out with them while Sasha and I had to go to summer school, my sister and I felt it was so unfair because since our family lives so far away we barely get to see them. We always wake up around 7am to leave for summer school. Then this one day my mom and dad wake us up at 9am, I soon realized that we woke up 2 hours late!! I was panicking as usual saying," Uh Oh" we are going to be late, but then when I went upstairs  I saw my whole family  all dressed up. I thought that they were going somewhere without my sister and I again, but then they said that we are ALL going to "Six Flags" (amusement park). I was so excited so we got dressed up and into the car. When we arrived we got our tickets and then we went to explore all the rides, my personal favorite was the ride called "daredevil", how this ride works: It's like a big ferris wheel and there's a cart that takes you in a big loopty loop. There was also this really fun water ride that takes you in a really deep tunnel and its pitch dark, and at the end you get splashed with so much water!!! We went on so many more rides and got my favorite amusement park snack, (cotton candy). We arrived at the park at around 10am and left at around 6pm. Then we drove to a restaurant and while we were driving I kept asking a question, "Can we do this again?" and the only answer I kept getting was "No way!!". But I have to admit this day was really fun!!

The best trick played on me was when my aunt gave me my puppy. For winter break last year, I went to my grandma's house. I was really excited because my grandma has gotten a new puppy. A few weeks before we went to visit, my parents were talking about adopting a puppy. So when it was time for me to leave and go back home, my aunt gave me the puppy. That is the story of how I got my puppy. My favorite treats are Jolly Ranchers because they come in many flavors such as blue raspberry, cherry, watermelon, green apple, and grape. I like the blue raspberry and the green apple flavor the best.

My favorite treat is a drink called Mogu Mogu. It comes in different flavors like strawberry, mango, peach, blueberry, lychee, grape and more! It is sweet fruit juice with some gelatin add-on . I have only had the pleasure to have strawberry Mogu Mogu but I mix it with two types of mango juice and tonic water. It is by far, my favorite treat!

The best trick my friend from my old school named Sara(and I didn't spell it wrong)played a trick on me. We use to be best friends but now we don't go to the same school. Sara and I would hang out with each other and talk about random stuff that we were interested in. One day, while Sara and I were out sitting on a curve of the walkway, she said, "Julie, take a look above your head because there is a bee! Quickly swat at your head!" I always trusted Sara because she has never told me a lie so I did as she said. She immediately started laughing so hard and I was like what just happened and why is Sara laughing? She told me there wasn't a bee above my head and I looked like a brainless person trying to protect my head with nothing over it. I also asked her why she tricked me today and not any other day when I realized on the wall to the side of me said "Happy April Fools!" I completely forgot about today because I was too worried about why Sara had tricked me on that specific day that I hadn't realized today was April Fools Day! I am so glad I have a friend like her to remind me(except fooling me)that that day was an important one. We spent the rest of the lunch and our walk back trying to trick each other. More and more of my classmates joined in the game of trying to trick everyone and soon enough, all my classmates were tricking each other until it was time to go to class but even still our teacher had to shush us up three times to get the class quieted down. That was my favorite time a friend has ever tricked me and my favorite day of the entireschool year.

The trick that my family pulled on me was when we were in Singapore and it was our "last day" their and I really wanted to cherish that day. Willingly, I went to my parents and asked them if we could stay for longer they said that that may not happen, so I felt really sad that I would have to leave my family. We spent the whole day with them but unfortunately, the day ended and it was time for us to sleep and me and my sister were sad to leave the next morning. My parents told me and my sister that the flight was at 7 and that we had to wake up around 5:30. Since we slept late that night, we woke up around 9:30 and me and my sister started to panic that we might have been late to our flight!!!!! We rushed down the stairs and saw my family sitting on the outdoor dining table relaxing and drinking coffee. Me and my sister said "We are late for our flight!!!!" Then my mom and dad told me and my sister that we were staying for 3 more weeks!!!!!!! Me and my sister were so happy but we were mad that my parents tricked us but eventually we got over it. For the three weeks we had a fun time playing with our cousins and dog and going out to dinners. At the end this trick might have been bad at first but at the end it was great for me and my sister!!!!!!

The best trick that I have ever played was when it was my mom's birthday and for a surprise my dad and I had arranged for my mom's sister and daughter (my aunt and cousin) to surprise my mom for her birthday. When my dad first told us the plan I jumped up and down in excitement and almost ruined the surprise. The day that they were coming my dad told my mom that he was meeting one of his old office friends at a restaurant and he would be gone for a while. In reality my dad was driving to SFO to pick them up. I walked around the house anxiously waiting for their arrival. My mom wondered why I was doing this I then bluffed and said that I wanted dad to come home so we could all watch a movie. My dad then texted my mom saying that he would come home with his friend and his wife for dinner. This made my mom wear nice clothing and whip a meal up to serve to them. 20 minutes later my dad opened the door and said,"we're here." When my mom's sister came through the door she lost it and thanked my dad for plaining this. After the trick we played on her it came to be a good treat for her.

A trick I played on my daughters was waking them up on a fall break day and telling them the school decided to have the day of school anyway. I had them convinced, backpacks on, dressed, in the car, and then surprised them instead with donuts and a day trip to the Monterey Aquarium.

Scariest Things That Have Happened to Me

# data[].attributes.body
I was skiing down a steep slope and I didn't see a huge part of the slope that was all ice and since I didn't see it well, I skied on it, fell, and slide down the whole slope. I was scared so I scratched the ground as hard as a could to slow me down.

I got lost in stores a lot when I was younger. One really scary moment when I was lost was some stranger came and said "Do you want candy? Follow me then." I looked at the candy and it was gum. When I was young I hated gum so I just ran away and I found my mom.

I was in a hotel and I decided to go in a elevator by myself and the elevator stopped moving for about 20 seconds. I went from smiling and laughing to screaming and crying for help.

One time I was sitting on a chairlift with Isabel, and it was a fast chairlift, and since we were short and the chairlift bar was really high and heavy, we couldn't get the bar down. I almost fell off when I coughed hard.

A bunch of times I cook using the stove with boiling water. A lot of times I drop heavy things into the boiling water and it always hits my arm and its really hard.

The time I accidently launched myself with high speed onto a really big ski jump. Those 2 seconds in the air scared me to death.

I saw a man in a chicken costume running toward me fast at night trick or treating. It was really late and not really anybody was on the street so it really felt scary. Turns out he just ran into a bush and yelled "I'm good!"
One time I belive it was with my mom, and it was late at I think the mall, and all the doors were locked. We just asked the guards to open it for us.

There was this time, where we went to the state park, and it a sign said, closed at sunset. My parents and I drove there at sunset. There were a few people left but getting ready to leave. My parents ignored the sign and we took a 1 hour walk. When we got back to the parking lot, it was really dark and all the gates where locked. We tried opening them. We drove all around the park, hoping to find a way out. Later, two people came and told us to just call the police and they would open the gate.

When I was younger I used to always swallow orange seeds. My mom and dad told me that If I kept swallowing seeds I would have an orange tree start growing in my tummy.

This happened on halloween.When I was younger, I went into a haunted house where there was a creepy clown. I got so scared, I ran 5 streets away. when I went back, I saw it was just a gif that was being played on their window. We got so much candy that we go there every year now. It's the best place to go to nowadays and if you want to go there, the house is close to a park called Jack Fishier Park.

The scariest thing that happed is when my brother was little. He flew to China because my mom was going to give birth to me! In China, there are lots of relatives that live there and family friends. After he came back, I was born and I left to China. When I was there being taken care of my relatives, my brother was with my dad and mom. One day my dad was preparing to go to the farmers market where we go weekly even today, my brother asked to come. My dad thought it was a good idea so he brought him along. As they arrived, it was very crowded so my dad told my brother to stay close to him. My brother listened to my dad for the first ten minutes but then found something yummy and walked towards it. My dad was still looking for vegies when he noticed my brother wasn't here. He yanked his car out of the way shoving through crowds and crowds of people trying to get to the security. He finally made his way and told the police a little boy age of four was lost in a crowd. The police quickly told everyone to look for a lost four year old boy and sent out some men to look for him. After a while, a strange man said he saw him ten minutes ago at the honey store. All the police ran towards that direction and looked all around to find my brother happily chewing on some sample oranges. Thank god! My dad thanked the police twice and quickly ran towards my brother and told him to sit in the cart. My brother obeyed but often asked my dad if there are any samples that come with the foods my dad bought. That was the scariest thing that ever happened.

My heritage is South Asian, specifically India. My mom and dad grew up in Bangalore, which is in the southern part of India. Bangalore is a thriving city and is also the information technology capital of India. I visit Bangalore at least once in 2 years. I visit my grandparents, aunt and uncle, and many more in my family. My name Dhruv originates from Indian Mythology. The name means The North Star. My mom can speak Hindi and English, while my dad can speak at least 5 languages,(English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam). On my mother's side, I have 2 grandparents and 1 great grandma, while on my dad's side I have 1 grandma. When I go to India, I enjoy spending time with my cousins, aunts and uncles, family, and visiting historic places. I sometimes play sports that are played a lot in India, like cricket. Even with the long flight, it doesn't change the fact that I ❤️ India!!!

My heritage is South Asian and the bulk of my family resides in India. Both my parents were born and raised in India. My mother is from the capital of India which is better known as New Delhi. My dad is from a city in India called Lucknow.  On my mom's side of the family her Aunt was the first to venture into the United States in the 1950's to study. After my parents finished a bachelor's degrees in India. After my mom finished her bachelor's she came to the US to study at Carnegie Mellon. My father got a bachelor's and a master in India and then came to get his second master at Purdue. At home my parents speak a mixture of Hindi and english. Sometimes when they speak I don't understand what they are trying to say because they start talking in Hindi. At my house you will find that a lot of Indian food is made since they insist that most of the week we eat Indian. They have tried to help me get a better understanding of Hindi but despite their efforts I can only understand bits and part of the language. Usually we try to go to India often to visit grandparents. My parents love going to India and showing me the unique ways of living there. Even though I might not know Hindi as well as my parents would like, I love India!!

My heritage in Hindu and mostly all my family members live in India. My mom is from Mumbai and my Dad is from New Delhi. My dad went to ITT in New Delhi and then came to the U.S. My mom went to an Indian doctor school but came to New York, to become an eye surgeon. My dad and mom have taught me some Hindi and about all the gods and culture. My mom and Dad have told me that their grandparents were from India so that's how I know my heritage. My parents can speak many types of Hindi language, so we watch lots of Hindi movies together, and I pick up a lot of Hindi. Indians are very academic and focus on big things instead of minor ones. We prefer Math, Science, English and History over subjects like art, music, and PE. But it is variable to other families out there.

Christina's Scariest Thing that Happened

The scariest thing that ever happened to me is getting locked in a room. I went to my friend's house, and she went outside, got a stick, and we tried all sorts of Harry Potter spells. When we got upstairs to her room, she left me inside and went outside so that she could try Collorportus. However the "spell" didn't work, but I was locked inside. I know that the spell didn't work because I was locked before she casted the "spell". She found that she couldn't open the door so she asked me to open the door but I couldn't. She asked her father to open the door, so he whipped out a key and wriggled it in the key hole. It took a couple tries for it to work, but I wouldn't be sitting in my library room if I never got out of there. Or am I still in her bedroom?

My heritage is asian more specifically South asian.
Both my Mom and dad were born in Mumbai so both of their ancestors came from Mumbai to. Even if my mom and dad are Indian they traveled to the U.S where I was raised. When my dad finished at (IIT) Indian institute of Technology he came to the U.S and when my mom was at Berkley they finally met. I think it's important to learn you culture and language which is what I did I learned hindi so now I can speak but the hardest one was culture because there is so much of it . My mom and dad taught me a lot of my culture like the gods and celebrations and all I know is that I have a great culture and great ancestors and I am very proud to have Indian parents!!!

My heritage is Chinese, and the majority of my family members reside in China. I've been learning Chinese since I was in first grade, and my family members in China are learning how to speak English. However, I would not recommend learning it, as Chinese is not an easy language. The language system is structured differently than English and other languages. I go to Morningstar Chinese school for 2 hours from Monday - Friday. Also, I have 2 names. One is my Chinese name, and the other is my English name. My Chinese name is Yingfei, but my English name is Christina. I tried to translate it into English, but it seems that Google Translate does not recognize it. That's strange because there are people with Chinese who could easily translate Chinese names into English. Chinese people are very academic, and try to learn from past mistakes, but it's easier said than done. It's as hard to move on from your mistakes to even acknowledge them. Many of my family members believe that Math, Science, Grammar, and History are more important than classes like Art, PE, Music, etc. But that's not true at all. You could be like Leonardo da Vinci and create a legend of a painting that could sell millions, or you could become a renowned musician whom everybody knows about. I happen to like both Math and Art, but my family members always make me feel like I can only choose one or the other. But I can be a mathematician and in my spare time, I could be an illustrator. Sure, it will be exhausting, but having 2 jobs that you like is definitely worth it, and most of all, you find happiness in doing so. Also, did you know that Chinese people don't change their last name when they marry? When a member of the wife's family marries, it is considered that the husband's family gained a member and the wife's family lost a member. But, the wife still bears relation with her family, so she keeps her original name.

My heritage in from South Asia. My dad is from Rajasthan in India, however, my mom is from West Bengal. I enjoy meeting my family in both areas. My dad's ancestors come from the same area they are today, countless of deserts surrounding them, and my mom's ancestors are from Nepal, but traveled to East India a handful of generations ago. My parents met, and a few years after they married, they moved here to East Coast America. After that, there were a billion of things which happened, but we eventually decided to move to California. I go to India every summer, and learn more about their culture.

My heritage is Chinese and my family is from China. I've been trying to learn how to speak Chinese (technically my parents make me although I begged them about 24 hours by 7). I think learning a language is important but I need to learn it or I won't be able to talk to my uncles, aunts (ants if you call it),  nieces (I have 1 which is very surprising), and other friends. I think Chinese is actually an easy language to learn because all the characters in the Chinese language have only one syllable no mater how hard that word is to write and the words are based on how the real shape is. Like moon in Chinese is 月 which does look like a moon (although it has lines in-between which looks funny). I've heard other friends of mine learning Spanish and say they haven't learned a single word after they learned for two years because it is so boring. I feel really lucky my heritage is Chinese and not some other language where it is either hard to learn, frustrating (I think when you learn a language it is always frustrating), and boring. I think Chinese isn't too hard, frustrating, nor boring. I am super glad my heritage is Chinese. I also just searched up and realize most of the world speaks Chinese. Didn't know that one. I thought lots more speak English but lots still do speak Chinese. Lol.

I have many passions but one of them that sticks out is definitely soccer. When I play soccer I feel free from the sound the net makes when you score a goal to hearing the crowd go wild when you score a goal. I currently play club soccer on a team called LFC and it is really fun. I love how competitive soccer is and making the goal in the last second to win the game. Another one of my passions is football, when I play football I feel happy and excited. Football (not futbol). I love to play football with friends like Crichton and others. I love having my mom on the sideline recording every play of the game and my family coming out and supporting me. One last thing about football is the fact that it is very competitive. If you know me you know I am always ready to compete and have fun so I love the competitive aspect of football. For example... it was the last play of the finals, we are on defense and they are down by 8. They are at the 15 yard line and it is 4th down. They need to do something of they want to win...and fast. They get ready to throw it to the endzone. They throw the ball, it iis soaring the the air like a eagle taking flight. It is going towards me, I jump up and intercept the ball for a pick 6 sealing the game. We won the championship!

I have many passions, a few of my favorites are shopping with friends, swimming, volleyball, video games, and reading. But out of all those passions, my favorite one is playing volleyball. I love playing volleyball because I get to spend time with friends, i learn new skills, and I get to compete with other people. I also really like the coaches there too. My coaches always support me and help me when I'm having a hard time learning a skill. I also hang out with my friends during recess and after class. My friends and I also practice together often after class. After, we like to get a fresh drink.

My heritage spans from Europe to Southeast Asia.  My European side is Scottish, Spanish and English, which is where my name comes from. In the Scottish or Gaelic culture, the name Crichton means protective wall. I will protect my family, America, and maybe a couple footballs from hitting the ground when passed to me :) Below is a picture of my family when I was young enough to be carried (and preferred it to walking).

I have many passions, a few of my favorites are traveling, art, dance, and nature. But my #1 FAVORITE passion is friendship. I have many friends but every single one is different, they all have unique and distinctive personalities, and that's why I like them. They always support me and comfort me when I feel down. They are also the only people I like to be around when I am sad. They hangout with me when I am lonely and they never leave my side. My friends always try to cheer me up and not give up. That is why friendship is my favorite passion.
In the image below is one of my best friend (aka my cousin) and me when we were younger, this is a picture of us at a dance competition winning awards. (this was my first competition at spotlight) It always makes me smile when I look at this picture. :)

My parents and I are getting a black Labrador puppy. Caring for dogs is a passion of mine because when you have many people in the family who have taken care of a puppy, you kind of need to know how to take care of one.

I have many passions and here are a few of them. I love to read, build things with legos, solve puzzles, and last I love to do things with my hands like crafts. I love to read because it makes you dream and imagine, it takes you away from reality. I enjoy to build things with legos and solve problems because it makes me feel that I have accomplished something. I love to make crafts because it makes me have something to do!

I love skiing because I love the wind in my face and the beautiful view. I train every weekend to get better in downhill skiing and I also love just launching myself off a cliff on a steep hill. I think its a great sport because its fun and exciting especially with friends.

People. I love people's stories. Their quirks and unique qualities. I love to understand what makes them tick, how they think, what makes them weep, or laugh, and what they love. I think everyone has a story worth hearing and want my life to be one that is selfless, aware of the needs of others, caring for those in my world and doing things that matter for those who come after me. People are my passion.

My favorite hobbies are watercolor painting, designing 3D models, and coding. (I painted the lion below last week)

Two or three times a year I usually go skiing in Montana. A year ago, I skied my first double black diamond. I enjoy creative writing since I enjoy using creativity and imagination in my writing. I like almost all forms of art too. I feel drawing and creating other forms of art relaxes my mind.

I like to travel and build things.

Travel: I like to travel because I like seeing new places, especially modern places like Hong Kong and Singapore.
Build: I like to build models of real objects like a human dna because the process is really fun and I always learn a fact or two.

# data[].attributes.body
I love to travel because you get to  explore different countries and it' s nice to get out of your country. Overall my favorite place to travel is   Asia because a lot of my family is their, and it is a modern continent.

My passion is playing sports - especially basketball and football! Over the summer, I took the time to practice basketball every day during the week and have gotten way better! During the school year, I practice dunking in between classes. For football, I started in first grade and have become a very good player! When on offense, I play running back, quarterback, and of course, receiver! My favorite position is receiver and my football role model  is Odell Beckham Jr.

# data[].attributes.body
I like playing soccer. I am pretty good and I have been playing from a very young age. I can kick really good. One roadblock I had is that my feet/knee were born a bit twisted. I still like soccer.

My favorite passion is surfing although I never tried it before. I can't go to Hawaii now and the Santa Cruz beach is too cold so I try surfing in my hammock. It is hung from two trees and I try standing in it and keep my balance. It is hard but also fun at the same time. Once I was competing with my mom to run to the hammock the fastest. I was at the hammock when I jumped on there, the hammock flipped and I rolled out and got all muddy! My mom was laughing so hard she couldn't move and was in the middle of the stairs. I quickly dusted myself and jumped back on the hammock to make sure I was still first. I tried getting my mom to hurry over into the hammock but she was laughing so hard I don't think she even heard me. Back to what my passion was, I love surfing and if I have a blue hammock instead of a green and grey one, I could record myself not including the bottom of the hammock and pretend I am swimming! That would be so awesome!!

My favorite season is Fall. My favorite activity to do in that season is sketch. I know that I can sketch in any season, but I feel better about designing animals, people, clothes, etc. in the autumn. I tend to draw people with puffy clothes and coats in the winter. Those are my favorite types of clothes as they are practical and keep you warm. Also, I like Halloween, which is in fall, because you can get candy for just strolling around the neighborhood.

I have more than one passion. I love riddles and logic puzzles, but at the same time, I enjoy reading, writing, and painting. I somehow feel rewarded when I solve my riddles and logic puzzles. I have also been taught briefly about algebra, which may help me in solving math puzzles. I love reading as the words of the authors swallow me and get me totally endorsed into the book. I also don't have to read out loud. Reading out loud embarrasses me and that's probably why I never developed good social skills. One of my favorite books is Harry Potter, the author produces such good theory and imagination and heart into the stories that I understand the characters well. I like writing and painting because my imagination takes over and makes me write and draw incredible things, and when I return back to reality, I usually question if I wrote or drew that.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite season is winter because I love going skiing up in Tahoe and drinking and eating lots of winter treats!

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite seasonal activity is probably traveling in summer because I get to explore the world and see my family. Sometimes when my family comes to us, we usually travel together to faraway places like Singapore.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite seasonal activity is swimming in the summer because I often travel to Hawaii or Florida. Since they both have humid/ hot weather there are a lot of beaches, pools, and WATERPARKS!!! I like to surf, snorkel (I saw a stingray and a sea turtle when I was snorkeling with my dad before), picnic, and PARTY!!!. I also really enjoy the food in Florida and Hawaii, including coconuts, hawaiian pizza, smoothies, and seafood.

If I had a super power, I would want to be able to control time. If I could control time, I would use it on what I want and also to help others so they have more time to finish work up or play longer. I personally think think there is not enough time to read and do other favorite hobbies! Every time I read, I make sure I start early but after two minutes my dad says it is time to go! I want to be able to control time so I can spend more time reading and not be disturbed by my father. I also like to dance, but every time I just put on my shoes, ten minutes later my class is over. That is why if I had a super power I would chose to be able to control time.

Julie Favorite Season and Seasonal Activity

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite season is Summer because I love to go on the beach and feel the sand covering my body as I roll around on the ground. (Although sometimes it can be annoying because the sand sticks on my body and I have to change using a towel to cover myself.) I would much rather spend all my time in Hawaii surfing, buggy boarding, and snorkeling! I have never tried surfing or snorkeling but I love to go in my hamic and stand in it to pretend it is my surf since I can't go anywhere in Covid-19. I gone snorkeling when I was little but the snorkels were too big so I had to use a board with small goggles attached and there was nothing to see. I also like the sumer because I love when the palm trees sway when small winds hit on the beach. The palm trees are very comfortable because it gives you shade but not to much so there is some room to sunbathe. That is why Summer is my favorite season.

I love FALL!!! Probably hiking and noticing the changing leaves and definitely making and eating pumpkin pie is a favorite seasonal activity.

My super power would be almost any power except for invisibility. If I was invisible that does not mean my clothes are invisible so that means I would have to be naked all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
If I had a super-power I would want to be able to morgrify, because I would be able to transform into different things.

# data[].attributes.body
If I had a superpower, it would be flying because I hav e read a book about kids who can fly. The author describes what it feels like to fly in various ways. It makes me want to experience what the characters are feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
If I had any super power in the world, I would probably want to fly because I've always wanted to see how I would feel if I was suspended in midair, and also I could fly to places myself instead of paying lots of money to get to the airport. -Aubrie

If I had a superpower it would be to read mind so I could See what people are thinking.

If I could have any superpower I would have the power to create different super powers so I can have as many as I want, but since this is super over powered it would let me create or give one power every hour.

If I had a super power I would want to be super intelligent because that's the key to life, and if I am intelligent I can learn any Superpower!!!

If I could have any superpower, I would want to learn how to fly. I could be able to beat the speeds of cars, and if I flew to places, it would not ever get bored of it!

I would chose teleportation.

My superpower would probably would be to mind read because if I was a superhero, I would use this too see what their planning to do and I could stop them.

# data[].attributes.body
Um probably having infinite wishes!!!

# data[].attributes.body
If I had a choice to pick any superpower, I would pick teleportation because I would be able to go anywhere I want on VACATION!!!! Since I dislike  going on planes because of the high altitude I would be able to travel without a car or plane!

I would choose either mind reading or being able to see the future.- Isabella Wu

# data[].attributes.body
It's a hard choice, as I prefer villains (they make the story interesting). But if I really had to choose, I would choose mind reading or super intellect. That way, I could know everything in people's minds and they wouldn't lie to me. Also, I could see what dangers are coming. If those two are unavailable, I would choose speaking to animals as my 3rd option. -Christina

# data[].attributes.body
If I were to have a superpower, I would like teleportation/super speed so I can either run so fast it would look like I am teleporting, or I would teleport and it would look like I am running super fast. If that superpower was not an option, then I would like to be able to move water without touching it, like the picture below!
