I had so much fun because we ended up preforming and it was pretty cool. Q: If you could live in a book, tv show, or movie, what would it be and why? If I could live in a TV show, I would live in Cobra Kai. I think that show is sick and I would get to learn karate! Q: What’s your favorite quote or saying? I always go by two things: First, treat others the way you want to be treated. Second, a quote from the Lion King, “The past can hurt; but, you can either run from it or learn from it.”
