What is a talent you would most like to have?
Probably to be the best dancer in the world. I dance all the time. Or to be the best fitness model in the world because every time I'm in the weight room I'm looking at my muscles.
What is your most treasured possession?
My cocoa butter, hence the nickname. I have been using it since 7th grade. It ties into everything with my personality, my hair, just everything. [Editor: So that's the basis for your nickname?] That and my cocoa chocolate skin.
What is your greatest fear?
Losing my mom.
What do you consider your greatest achievement so far?
Graduating. One more class is all I need. Sometimes you struggle so much and then it's exciting when you get to point where you're at the end. [Editor: What's the next step after school for you?] I hope to be a personal trainer or work in sports performance.
What is your dream job?
Being a top personal trainer and owning the best franchise of sport training facilities.
What's one place you would like to visit?
Virgin Islands are pretty nice. Or maybe Paris, France.
What is one thing you would like to change about yourself?
Maybe that I would have longer hair.
What is your idea of the perfect meal?
Macaroni and cheese, greens. I don't really like bread, but if you've got some nice sweet cornbread, I'd have some of that. Some barbeque chicken. More macaroni and cheese. And mashed potatoes.
What is something you think fans would be surprised to know about you?
That I can sing.
What is one thing you'll take away from your time at South Carolina?
Just growing as a person and understanding that if things don't go your way, learning how to adjust and be a better person because of the situation.
