What is one thing not many people know about you? Not many people know that I’m dyslexic. It made school very hard for me but I was able to overcome my challenges with the help of my grandfather, and my parents as well as a team of really amazing teachers. I hope some day to be able to help children who struggle with learning disabilities as I have.
How many (and which) languages can you speak? I can use sign language, not extremely well but well enough to carry on a conversation with a member of the deaf community.
What makes you happy? I love to read books. I just recently read Lonesome Dove, and Ender’s Game, both really good. I’m now reading Catch 22 and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
