艺术是另一种选择.

“我们看到树上有猴子. 他们让我们小心美洲虎. 也许那是 这是我来南方的标志.”

你好吗? 艺术 类?

“In two-dimensional drawing class, we have a new project. 我们得听首歌 然后把我们听到的画出来，但是用抽象的方式. 所以我写了一首叫做“某处”的歌 We Know’ by Keane, and my drawing kind of looks like ‘Starry Night’ and towers.

你怀念密西西比的什么?

“我想念我的家人. 我想念我的爸爸. 在我去上大学之前，我们看了所有的 按时间顺序排列的《十大彩票网投平台》电影. 我想念我的猫. 当我和我哥哥视频聊天时， I’ll say, ‘Show me Jasper,’ but he’ll be out chasing raccoons, and I’m like, ‘Of course 他是.’”

“I miss homemade tortillas and my grandma’s chicken noodle soup. 我想念爷爷的家 炸虾和他的小龙虾咖啡.”

你在南阿拉巴马看到了什么?

“我们刚刚第一次去了莫比尔市中心. 这让我想起了迷你版的新奥尔良. 我们拍了照片. For Labor Day weekend, my friends and I went to Dauphin 岛. We thought it would be packed at Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, so we went to Dauphin 岛. We just sat on the beach and hung around in the water.

“我们住在爱扑塞隆1号宿舍. 我的室友来自阿拉巴马州的哥伦比亚纳. We have a really good friend who’s always hanging out in our room. 我们称她为我们的 额外的室友.”

你在校园里有最喜欢的景点吗?

“My favorite thing is to go under 默尔顿塔 at night and look up at the murals. 那是我在校园里的小快乐之地.”

“我们会进行更多的游行. 我们有赛前和中场表演. 更多的人留下来 去看演出. 我爸爸来看我们的第一场比赛. 他看见我们凑钱，为了一首歌 called ‘Waving Through a Window,’ and he 说 it was so cool.

“在高中时，我就像一个乐队妈妈. 我有创可贴，电解质包，还有 花生酱饼干. I wanted to set a good example, to do the little things to 帮助更大的事情. 我还带着Pedialyte和饼干. 你永远不会知道.”

What’s the difference between a 密西西比州 accent and an 阿拉巴马州 one?

“I feel like an 阿拉巴马州 accent is a little deeper, with a longer drawl. 一个密西西比 口音稍微轻一点. My brother says I sound different, and I’ve only been 这里两个月.”
