Happy Friday! Today for Friday Faces we have our amazing Tiny Wonders team who work with the littlest people at SLOCA.
What was your favorite childhood book?
Brynn: I Hate to Go to Bed. Despite being a great sleeper as a child, it was always a fight actually getting me into bed. Looking back, this book reminds me of myself as a child, especially the feelings of being left out of the world continuing as I slept. My mom talks about how much I loved this book, and how similar it was to me. I look back now and laugh because of how stubborn I was, but am grateful to have had parents who loved me anyways, and even found books that I related to!
Deena: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett A story of friendship, faithfulness , suffering and redemption. The setting brought vivid images to my mind as a child.
Izabella: Corduroy was my favorite childhood book because of its message of acceptance, friendship, and belonging.
Julie: I have really fond memories of The Secret Garden because my mom read it aloud to me.
Riley: I’d have to say that Charlotte’s Web was my favorite childhood book! It’s something I used to read all of the time ever since I could remember!
Samantha: The Rainbow Fish was my favorite childhood book because it was my first English book and the colors always got my attention.
Sutten: The Little Red Hen. My mom and I used to read it so it was always very special!
If you could be any Roman or Greek god/goddess which one would you be?
Brynn: I would be goddess Hera because I love what she stands for: women, marriage, family and childbirth.
Deena: Demeter, that none should go hungry.
Izabella: I would choose to be Selene because she is the personification of the moon.
Julie: One that was not immoral or capricious!
Riley: I would want to be the goddess Flora. Springtime is my favorite holiday and I just absolutely love flowers and how uniquely beautiful each one is!
Samantha: If I could be a Roman or Greek goddess I would choose Hestia because she is the goddess of wisdom, reasoning, and intelligence.
Sutten: Hestia because she helped keep the peace in families
What did you want to be when you ‘grew up’?
Brynn: I have always been obsessed with true crime, so I always wanted to be an FBI agent. I became obsessed with the show Criminal Minds when I was only 9 years old, much to my parents’ horror. But it didn’t scare me then, so they were always supportive of my hopes and dreams!
Deena: A teacher by day and baker by night. I could not get enough of my Easy-Bake Oven
Izabella: I wanted to work three part time jobs as the president, a zoologist, and a marine biologist.
Julie: A mom. I wanted 5 kids and all their names started with M.
Riley: So many things! An actress, singer, and even a doctor. It seemed to have changed a lot.
Samantha: As a kid I wanted to be a doctor until I realize I would have to deal with blood. I said no thank you.
Sutten: A nurse
If you could have any superpower what would it be?
Brynn: I would pick the power of speed! I always feel like I’m running out of time, so I want my superpower to make me do everything at hyper speed!
Deena: The ability to time travel to explore history and gain a better understanding of the past.
Izabella: I would want the ability to communicate with animals so I can have millions of other creatures to talk to.
Julie: Teleportation, so I can quickly visit my daughter in Idaho whenever I want.
Riley: Telekinesis! I have always thought the ability to move objects to be so cool!
Samantha: If I could have any superpower it would be a combination of flying and telekinesis because I would enjoy flying anywhere I would want for free and to see the world’s beauty. While also being able to move anything I want.
Sutten: Flying so I could go wherever I want!
