If you were a candy, which one would you be: I would be sour patch kids because at first I’m sour, but then I’m sweet

Something no one knows about you: I love comic books especially the Old Man Logan series. I actually ordered three online yesterday. Also, I am a selfie queen.
Most inspirational person in your life: My mother. She brought both of us to the United States all on her own and never gives up on anything. Seeing how strong she is, no matter what situation she’s in, has inspired me to work hard and persevere even when times get tough.
