top of that she's a honor roll student listening to me students she's an honor roll student doing all of that stuff so you know she was meant to be here she's exceptional but the reason why she's here

you thankful for that right i am has it's going to mean so much to you as you continue to grow and go on to be whatever it is you want to be yet congratulations on and on a so now i want to double back to this american sign language thing i've always been interested in so do you have to know how to son to be in the club no they teach you i learned how to do the alphabet and go a little rusty ok i know how to sign my everything yes that is so i watch the women in church we used to have women in church if you remember they used to be on either end and while the service was going on they would sign the things that happen in service if you remember santa probably would have been maybe twelve or thirteen i  when i was younger i didn't really pay that i just tested so they don't have any more that's probably why you can do it oh so much fun and i have a lot of friends and michael i met a lot of friends that i have now because of clubs like this and one of my friends we didn't have any classes together but we were in every single club together and now are like best friends yeah so that lady you can talk about wonderful with english correct me all the time and she did actually come from the old school where you had to actually diagram and put the sentences together and remember that this before that and i'm not good at that i don't know how to say it and i record i'm going to introduce you to her if you don't know her ok this is because you guys would have such great conversations and she would believe through that you really feel that way about this because i'm like look just tell me there's a go here at the end i'll say that anyway so i heard you want to mess with when you were in junior yeah so are you good at math too it depends on the math class i love geometry which is when i'm teaching now i like grade they had these lines like graph that they drop to add three hundred to two hundred and i'm like why as i remember helping my son when he was in school and he would get the answers right but the method he would always get wrong so i stopped helping hi now but that's all right math is for some people geometry is for the people writing it for other people that i know writings for you now you this a young lady i can imagine all these things that you're in i would be tired and i'm sure you know well i do so now i know that you learn two or started learning piano yet five years are you still playing well last year i decided to take a break because high school was so new to me and i was well that's good so do you feel that you're romano that your mom is a role model to you do you feel that you are a role model i do tell us about that well because i'm so young and i've done so many amazing things and i was able to write a pocket twelve you know that's inspiring for a lot of younger children and children that are my age right you know to tell them like to not give up and you know believe in their dreams and like if and they take a gap year because they don't know you know what they want to do and it's ok to find out but i think it's a it's a sectional for people who are born with a passion because god knew the plans that he has and they come out knowing what they want to do like you or like your mom or like me we come out knowing that we want to do things and sometimes people are not supportive of us in you really have to know how to shun those voices out when you do a good job of they know i'm sorry for that so besides your mom is there anybody else who this is so awesome anything but ordinary the beginning at the beginning suggests something so we're going to get that well but let's put it here writing in from this science so tell me about why did you want to write well i've always i just like started writing and then it does happen it is not hard to describe but i didn't i as i read a lot of books so then sometimes i would like taking inspiration from the getting bullied and her bully finds out about their powers so that her and her friends are trying to stop her from telling everyone about it yes sorry like that there were three different different powers right yet it was both of each  students of you age well you know and it helps kids like you know learn to stand up for themselves because in the book a lot of the care does learn how to stand up for yourself to she's always been shy and then she finds two friends like real friends and then you know she learns how to you know not be challenging more and just be yourself and yet how do you feel about people believe it's terrible i hate that seems well you help someone is being bullied by being there for them so if they're getting picked on you just tell them to ignore the haters and then you know stick by their side and be their friend just love it you're absolutely wonderful they told me about how you chose the title and didn't have other titles i did have others maybe my first child was going to be shocked because they were shocked by the rocks and i was completely set on that title my name is amazing and that mother is like no that's not that doesn't sound good then you start thinking of other titles to make it sound better and them are like anything but or unary and then i'm like that's amazing and then when i heard about the title i thought that the book was going to be about you know anything but ordinary you know you're absolutely exceptionally beautiful you know and like i said god's miracle one of god's greatest miracle so i'm like yeah that's what the book is about and then when i got t were i don't know so how do you feel about or how do you feel about have people come to you and tell you what they feel about the book and yes a lot of people have said that they love the characters they love the whole superpowers that you don't love her powers right and you know they just love how i was able to create this whole world and like the characters and it's just you know so why do you call the beginning i series it is this is the first book in the series and i'm currently working on the second one i'm not going to say anything about it karina spoil you have to come back yeah guy and it's going to be awesome it's going to be like a lot better than this one better than the first but you know songs are like that to people write songs when you think they're going to call it and then it's totally different from what i recall you know and then sometimes they will decide this is going to be the first song is going to drop from the album and it's not you know you never know until you finish ever use people that you know well here's a funny thing that in the book one girl she has two friends and they're based on my friends from when i was in school or i changed their names so my friend they h lawyer in fourth grade yes so when did you really know that you wanted to write i wouldn't say when oh maybe when i was ten because when i was ten i wanted i wrote a book but it not have a website yet but we're working on it in construction seven my mom and my dad and my dad helped me with the computers so it's like a lot of like research on the internet we did some stuff online and like we went on different websites and so now besides this story and the series of this what do you think another book would be that would have nothing to do with the series you know someone about me because i have to write o a child going feared worst parents because my parents are divorced and i just i have to write a book about that while i'm still young but i'm not i'm so busy little you rush in what you know why would you want to write a book about that you think it would be helpful for others it would be has there are many books that deal with that like they usually there would be a story and they shared the trial to parents just so happen to be divorced but there's no book that's just about a kid and their parents are splitting up so as a subplot or something you know there needs to be like one main story that focuses on that and some people that are a product of divorce they don't fear well you know example but it seems like you feel very well yes so you are you able to share information about how to go through that yes my parents are surprised that i took it so well like they thought i'd be like it's always here with you and you know when when i look at you and knowing from which you came in i know that god definitely has a plan for all of us you know and he definitely has a plan for you and it's already manifested you know so what do you see yourself doing when you get out of college ok what do you want to study when i get out of college i want to create television shows based off of my book series so i i actually really wan going to live in we tend to know what our moms to live in but you know your mom is a wonderful woman so here she might she might so tell me kayla give me three things for our young viewers to if they want to be an have no idea what you're doing just start writing right whatever that you just believe that you can do it like of course you're young you're going to doubt yourself but you know just you have to believe in have confidence that's an important thing they have and the re is always know that you have people supporting you like you know your parents your friends and your siblings or family everyone
