Her favorite movie is the Sandlot and her favorite book is A Wrinkle in Time. She loves any Japanese food. After graduation, she hopes to open her own music school and teach piano.

He likes to watch movies and hang out with friends, eat and go on walks. His favorite movies is The Dark Knight and his favorite book is Ender's Game. HIs favorite food hits one of my dominant taste buds, BBQ ribs. He plans to serve a mission, but hasn't decided what his career will be yet, but he hopes to have a family and live in the midwest.
