Hi I’m Coco. I am a sixth grader at Santa Barbara Middle School. I like to dance, sing and hang out with my friends.

Those are normal things that I like to do but I believe that the one way to solve a problem is educating people about the problem. Like Nelson Mandela said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” and martin Luther King Jr. “ The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of education.” That is why I love it here at SBMS because there are so many opportunities that push your character to be the best person.

I was really excited to see the Will Smith interview just because he was so happy and excited to see kids like me wanting to interview him and he was so polite and personal, asked the kids why they were out there and was overall the happy, inspiring, funny person I want to be.

A few random facts: I like most animals except reptiles. I really like purple minions and minions. I will absolutely not eat lunch outside. I have read the Harry Potter series 50 times. No, I am not kidding.
