Favorites...


Today's questions are all about favorites!


Question #1: "What is your favorite animal and why?"

Alyssa: 

My favorite animal...if I had to choose...is a fox. Hmmmm...I've never really thought about why! I've never had to say it out loud. I don't know. Maybe it's because they are misunderstood and I want to shed some light on them. Or maybe it's just because they are beautiful and the way they are built is amazing. They can run at high speeds for a really long time. They are very intelligent. They are very caring when it comes to their families...did you know that a female juvenile kit will sometimes stay and help the mother with her next litter? Pretty cool right? Or maybe it's because I feel like I share a lot of factors with them...we both have good hearing, we're both almost silent when we walk, we both have a good sense of smell, and I can run fast when I want to be.

Katy:

How can I choose!?!?!?!?! I love wolves, cheetahs, and dolphins!!!! I feel like I have a connection to each of them. When I'm running, I feel connected to wolves and cheetahs because I can run for a long time at a steady pace and I can sprint super fast for short periods of time. Wolves are so cool because of how they communicate and want to take care of their family. I love cheetahs and their cool abilities like how they can make sharp turns chasing after their prey while running at full speed. Being near the ocean or water makes me feel like I'm just meant to be there...when I swim, it feels like nothing can stop me. I get super playful in the water like a dolphin. Dolphins have AMAZING creature powers...like when they sleep they can turn off half of their brain. They pair up with another dolphin during sleep...then each dolphin is responsible for monitoring one half of their surroundings with their awake side of the brain. So by working together they can stay safe while sleeping. I could never choose because they are all so amazing in their own way.

Question #2: "Of all of the activities you've done...dance, soccer, cross country, and now tennis...which is your favorite and why?"


Alyssa:

It's very hard to decide between dance, tennis and cross country. I love all of them for different reasons. I love dance because of the way it makes you feel like you're floating through water and so graceful. Cross Country because I love the feeling of running long distances. It's like going on a nature walk only faster. I love being out in nature and feeling like an animal surviving in the wild...they have to run for hunting, escaping predators, and finding territory. Tennis is great because it's so much fun having the rush of running up and down the court chasing down a ball. I love feeling the impact of the ball on the racket and scoring a point against your opponent. I especially love playing doubles because you have to communicate with your partner...to say "I got it" or "that's you...you can do it" or "great hit"! It's just so much fun encouraging each other...even your opponents.  

Katy:

Oh goodness...it's gotta be Cross Country! I love it because its a way to push myself while having fun. I love seeing what I can do. It's great because you can do it in all types of weather...except for maybe snowing...and natural disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes.😉 It's always outside and you get to test yourself. I don't know...I just feel free!!!!
