What world leader do you admire?
Nelson Mandela because he overcame tremendous odds . from political prisoner to president of S. Africa.
How would you change the world?
Because Philadelphia is being plagued by crime right now I would work hard to eliminate crime here in the U.S. I know that begins with helping people find work to for to take care of themselves and their families. I would also work to eliminate crimes of humanity like in Africa and stop global warming.
How would you change your neighborhood?
Eliminating poverty. Everybody deserves a fair shake and that still does not happen in our society. Some people in my neighborhood are struggling.
What have you learned about power?
You can do anything you want with it.
Is power a good thing?
Can be, but people can abuse it.
What makes a good leader?
Someone who listens and tries to make a difference in improving themselves.
Who have been some of the best U.S. presidents, and why?
My grandmother would say Kennedy, because he was concerned about civil rights, but I think Bill Clinton did a good job, he was for the people.
Who have been some of the worst U.S. presidents, and why?
George W. Bush
When you become an adult, what do you think will be the biggest problem facing our nation and/or world?
Global warming
If you had the power to change one or two things about our country right now, what would it be?
I would have universal healthcare.
If you could put into place one law that pertains to kids in our country, what would it be?
Make sure they have equal education.
Why are some people rich and others poor?
Maybe people are rich because their parents are rich and poor people sometimes have the same problem. It can be generational.
Do you believe global warming is a fact or a myth? If you think it is a fact, what would you do about it if you were in charge?
It's a fact, because I watch it and see it happening.
If you were in charge of immigration, would everyone be allowed to enter the country? Would illegal immigrants be allowed to stay?
Most of the people here are immigrants or descendants of people who immigrated here. I. m not saying that everyone should be allowed to enter, there should be a monitoring process in place, and I think it should be fair. This country is biased even when it comes to immigration.
If you were in charge of education, would art class be as important as math?
For some people art is just as important as math. They can work together. Isn. t geometry all about shapes and letters?
Do you belong to any organizations or clubs?
Work to Ride, former member. Chew Soccer Club, Freedom Theater.
If you could switch places with one person, who would it be and why?
I would switch places for a short period with George W. Bush to learn about his job.
