I Am...

CEO of Z Team

I created Z Team so all my friends can meet, play and have the freedom to be themselves.  Respect and kindness are the most important rules of Z Team. 

Connector

I like to meet different people and I like to talk to them about different things like travel, school, books, Minecraft, airplanes and buses, NYC and Roblox.  I also like to introduce my friends to each other based on their interests and personalities.

Soccer King

I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old.  My favorite position is goalie.  I like it because it is the only position where you can use your hands and feet.  I watched all the games in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.  I was rooting for Japan and Argentina.

Artist

I love art and making beautiful things.  My art keeps getting better and better.  I also like to learn about art and different artists and how they were inspired.  I have chosen art as an elective at school.

Intelligent

I value intelligence and learning.  I also think it is interesting to learn about how different people learn and think…for example, everyone has a different perspective on something and I wonder why that is?

Curious

I won the curiosity award at my school.  I am curious why I won it? Get it 😊?

Funny

I am very funny I make jokes that make people laugh all the time! Like the joke above (I am curious why I won it? Get it 😊 ?)

Musician

I have been playing the piano since I was 5 years old. I should practice more. In a recital in December 2022, I played the song Get Away by Rossini. I would like to learn another instrument like the guitar or the drums one day.

A Global Citizen

I read that a global citizen is “someone who is aware of and understands the wider world – and their place in it. They are a citizen of the world. They take an active role in their community and work with others to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer.”  I think this is important and Z Team is already global.  We have friends from Japan, India, Germany and Australia.

Persistent

I received the Try and Try Award at school and that means I am persistent.  When I saw the Ethiopian Circus at the New Victory Theater in NYC, I thought about how persistent they had to be to do such an amazing show.  They said they practiced 6 hours a day for the fire ring!

Web Designer

I like bringing people together, art and technology.  Web Design helps me create a place where Z Team can come together to have fun.

Avid Reader

I like to read fiction.  I also like to read about history and science.  I read all the Harry Potter books in 3 months in 2nd grade.  After each book, I watched the movie with my family. I just finished the book Matilda by Roald Dahl.  I really liked it because she describes reading like going to another world.  I read on my kindle every night (and sometimes even before school in the morning)…shhh…
