{Editor’s Note: This blog post was written many months ago. Mackenzie is now a 7th grader and will be thrilled that this is finally being published.}
So, I decided to do something a little different for this post.
I interviewed my twelve year old. I asked her a series of questions to try and understand life from her perspective. These are her raw and honest answers to my questions.
I won’t lie. I was kind of (really) nervous.

Me: “What things do you worry about?”
Mackenzie: “My grades.”
Me: “Would you want to be president some day?”

Me: “Do you want to be a mom some day?”

Me: “Where do you want to go to college?”
Mackenzie: “I don’t know.”
Me: “What do you want the people reading this to know about you?”
Mackenzie: “I’m really an alien from Jupiter.”
