I would like to go to Australia to see the Great Barrier Reef and the various habitats there.

What are your three favorite things?

“The Hate U Give” by Angie Thomas is a favorite. It teaches important lessons like the impact of racism on teenagers, while keeping the reader very intrigued.

Everybody around me
A favorite MMS memory – and why:
There are too many to really decide, but having staff class in elementary is one of my favorites. PD [Premdas Rohan] made it so much fun and I constantly had a smile on my face the whole time. It was also just so exciting because we were preparing for “Ramayana!”
The three most-played songs on your favorite playlist:
“Sitting, Waiting, Wishing” by Jack Johnson; “Especially in Michigan” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers; and “Stir Fry” by Migos.
