About Me:
Where are you from?
Olathe, Kansas
If you were stranded on a desert island with one working instrument from lab, what would it be and why?
Hot plate. I could purify water and cook food easily without starting a fire.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Super-speed. I enjoyed sprinting in high school, and super human speed would allow me to run around with Sonic and fight bad guys. I could also use super-speed for a lot of cool things, potentially even time travel.
