Isa Raja (Weddington Elementary)

What is your favorite subject in school and why?

Science is my favorite subject because we do experiments. The experiment I’ve liked the most is the one where we created gas to inflate a balloon. We used vinegar and baking soda to create carbon dioxide gas. The chemical reaction causes bubbles which inflates the balloon.

What's the coolest thing you've ever done in a school project or lesson?

In third grade, we had a project where we had to go into the courtyard and looking for animals in that habitat. I found ants and a lizard. Someone else found a cricket.

If you could learn any skill instantly, what would it be?

It would be how to figure out how plants and animals work.

Would you rather be able to talk to animals or be able to speak and understand any language in the world?

I’d rather speak and understand any language in the world because you would be able to talk to anyone in the whole world. Who knows? Maybe I’d even learn how to talk to animals later on.

What's something you're really passionate about outside of school?

I’m passionate about my ideas about the future and riding my bike. I also love cars. I know how the systems, the engine and electrical work. I want to build the most advanced cars one day.

What three words best describe you?

It’s the letters of my name:

  • Incredible
  • Super
  • Amazing

What is your happiest school memory?

My happiest school memory is from first grade until now. It’s a game that I made for recess called Aircraft. What we do is go on adventures where we save the world. There are challenges, too. We go to Australia where the villains’ base is to defeat them and our home is called Wave City. It’s a place near the beach and its huge.

If you could pick any three people to hang out with for a day, who would it be and why?

I’d choose my younger brother because he’s really nice. We’d talk about stuff, play our Nintendo Switch and go outside to an amusement park. The second person would be my friend Isaac. We play together a lot and go to Sky Zone. The third person would be my other friend Neal because we get along really well. We haven’t had a play date yet but we have each other’s numbers.
