Lystra Edwards

1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
My favorite time of the year is the Thanksgiving Holiday because that’s the time when my entire family gets together and eats so many delicious dishes! Everyone is just thankful for one another and their surroundings. I love it!

2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I am a gospel dancer for my church. The group is called Living Sacrifices of Praise Dance Ministry and we believe in using our bodies to dance and worship Jesus.

3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
Washington, DC is an international city. People come here from all over the world, such as my family from Clarendon, Jamaica! Jamaica is home to my favorite beach, Dons River Falls, and has wonderful food and extremely kind people…just like DC!

4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
My worst habit is that I sing extremely loud when I am in the shower! I do so because I want the whole house and my neighbors to hear me.

5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
I would love to travel to France because I study the French language in school and France sounds like such a beautiful, wonderful and interesting place to visit!
