Kayla Rivera - Top Ten

1.What is the funniest thing you remember as a child?
The winter season is my favorite time of the year. It brings my family closer during the cold weather-watching movies and playing board games. It’s the time of year when you really appreciate what you have in life - spending time with family and friends.

2.What is the one piece of clothing you wish you owned?
I was adopted at birth; I was blessed with amazing parents and memorable life experiences. We’ve recently met with my biological family. My family has doubled in size and I’m no longer the baby of the family - I have 4 beautiful younger siblings who now look up to me.

3.What season of the year is your favorite and why?
The village of Jeffersonville is a small, old-fashioned farming town. Jeffersonville may not have the most attractions or a city like atmosphere, but what it does have is a strong bond between all of its citizens. It is a town ripe with good morals and even better ethics.

4.What is your favorite movie?
I’d have to say my worst habit is that I’m a perfectionist when it comes to school work. I could never submit anything to a teacher unless it’s neat and I know I did it to my full potential.

5.What song makes you think of yourself?
I’d love to travel to Israel, not only does the culture and history interest me, but they also have such an amazing amount of diversity. One day I hope to travel there and volunteer at the TRCI-they’re an amazing Therapeutic Riding Facility that I’d love to learn more about.
