1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
I am fond of the name Mary Elizabeth, the name of my great grandmother, my grandmother, and my aunt: strong trailblazing women. However, since the world still has two of these women making a difference, I will stay with Madeline Elizabeth. “Madeline” means great and magnificent, which inspires me. My mother named me after the children’s story book character, and I try to emulate the little redheaded girl who is inquisitive and loves other cultures.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
My favorite day of the week is Wednesday. Half of the week’s work is done, which fills me with a sense of accomplishment! I enjoy going to church Wednesday evenings, and afterwards, my youth group discusses our highs and lows of the week. My youth group is supportive, and no matter what, I can always rely on them to make me laugh—I am blessed to have such a group to spend Wednesdays with.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
My favorite movie is “Annie!.” I love musical theater, and two times in my life I have performed portions of this musical on stage. The movie itself teaches a lesson of positivity, thankfulness, and friendship. The main character is a determined, redheaded girl, who sings, dances, and turns a bad day into something positive, much like me. Plus, neither of us can live without our dog!
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
Dance has always had a special place in my heart. It is an expression of what you feel through energetic motion and movement. Dance is my sport, one that can be expressed individually, and also celebrated in a group. My dance team has become a sisterhood, and my heart beats with my team members. In dance, the only competition you have is with the one looking back at you in the mirror.
