What real-life person do you consider a superhero?

I'd consider my brother, Alex, 11 years old, a superhero. He is fun, creative, and loves to goof off. He's tons of fun!

When you’re not going to school or saving the world, what do you like to do?

I love to read. I'm currently reading the "Dragons in our Midst" series. It's really good!

If you received $100, how would you spend it? Why?

I would use it to buy more books on my NXT Robot.

What money superpowers would you like to have? Why?

I would like to be able to change the cost of things. Like make food and gasoline worth nothing!

If you could visit any place, where would you go? Why?

If I could go anywhere, I would go to Costa Rica. I can hardly stand the cold here, and I love seeing pictures of tropical places. Also, there'd be a lot of cool animals there.

If you visit any time, when would it be? Why?

If I could visit anytime, I'd visit the future, about 3000 a.d., to see what we have made by then.

Whose face would you put on a $75 bill? Why?

I would put Rachel Carson on the $75 bill. She really changed the way that we look at the environment, and she is a really good role model for all of us.

What is one thing you look forward to in high school? Why?

I hope to join marching band. I play French horn, and it sounds like a ton of fun!
