My dream is to shine on stage or TV, spreading smiles everywhere. I consider myself a unique artist with a flair for creativity, embracing my individuality. I love brainstorming fresh ideas and sharing them with my family and friends. At school, I play the marimba, sing at home and in the car, and am part of the school choir. I also enjoy drawing, crafting stories, and choreographing fun dances with friends, often hosting mini-concerts for my family!
