Breaking the law
In the town I grew up in, Red Lion, skateboarding was against the law so I always got into trouble for skating.
Biggest fear/phobia
I hate spiders and snakes. I used to have these dreams where I would be laying in my bed listening to music and all of a sudden a huge spider would crawl on top of me..freaky stuff.
Lesson learned the hard way
Lying to my dad..
If you could pick a super power…
I’d pick some type of healing power. That way whenever one of my friends or myself is injured, I have the ability to heal! That way we can always be having fun.
If I had one wish…
I’d wish for more street spots in York.
