Q: If you were to choose three topics to subscribe to on a news feed, what would they be?

A: Technology, World Issues, Entertainment

Q: Please name the philanthropic cause that matters to you the most and explain why.

A: Helping the homeless is the most important cause in my opinion. More specifically, I am referring to the homeless that are mentally or physical ill. I don’t have as much compassion for the homeless drug addicts even though this is also considered an illness. They also require assistance but my focus is on the helpless.

A: I arrived, I saw, I overcame.

Q:  What does the Olympics mean to you?

A: The Olympics mean so much to me, I've been watching them since I was young child. The sportsmanship and friendship between so many countries is just incredible and the fact that the whole world can come together, cheer together, and win together is amazing to watch.
