If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"RV. I am more of a mountain gal than a beach gal, but I occasionally like to boat and play in the water, so an RV could get me the best of both worlds." - Cassidy

My philosophy on parenting is...

"To do everything we can to help our child grow into the person they are meant to be. To cultivate their curiosity, interest, and unique abilities. To create a safe and secure environment where they can confidently explore their interests and the world around them." - Javier

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"How small we are in such a big universe, and how incredible it is we all have our own story and place within it." - Josh

My best friend would describe me as...

"Funny, loud, energetic, respectful and kind hearted." - Ian

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

"The vastness and beauty of it all! It makes me think of all the wonder and possibility, and makes me feel super peaceful." - Emily
