Favorites
HCB: What is your favorite place in the world?
MA: South Padre Island, Texas
HCB: Favorite Bentley memory or experience?
MA: April 2013, the Friday when the Boston Bombers got caught. I never watched so much news. At 9 pm when we knew that they were going to get caught soon, my friends and I proceeded to watch project X in order to get amped up for the anticipated gathering on the lower greenspace. An hour later we went outside to see a burning couch on the upper greenspace. I ended the night chanting USA and singing the national anthem with my a couple thousand of my classmates. Another favorite memory was the time I went on stage at the TimeFlies concert.
HCB: Favorite thing to get at Seasons?
MA: I get 1 ½ grilled chicken pieces from Jack, a white tortilla from Nima and she cuts up the chicken and puts cheese on it for me, then I put it on the Panini press.
