My favorite food, animal, song, book or movie: Manatees are my favorite animals because they are so cute and I am jealous of how lazy they can be. My favorite movie is "Mean Girls," because the stereotypes are funny and unrealistic.
A quote or phrase that best represents me: "No one is free when others are oppressed."
