Rowan:  I love playing baseball, its really awesome to play with the college coaches and players. They teach you a lot. I love playing the field.

Farah:  What's one of your favorite drills in baseball?

Rowan:   I love the outfield drills that we did because the coaches were hitting the ball super high in the air and we would catch it. It was super fun because you don’t really get balls that are that high and that hard.

Farah:  What grade are you in and what do you most enjoy about school?

Rowan:  I will be going into 7th. I love math and social studies.

Farah:  What makes math and social studies special for you?

Rowan:  I like math because its interesting to solve problems.  I love social studies because I like studying about the past and history.

Farah:  Do you have an idea of what you want to do or be when you grow up?

Rowan:   I want to be a doctor because my dad is.  I just think it's super cool, how he operates and stuff. 

Farah:  What kind of doctor is your dad?

Rowan:  He's a cardiac surgeon. 

Farah:  When you have some quiet time, what do you choose to do?

Rowan:  I love reading. I generally love reading history books. I just finished this big book about Dunkirk and I also love reading fantasies.

Farah:  What are your favorite television shows?

Rowan:  I love the office and I love Brooklyn 99. 

Farah:  What’s your favorite food?

Rowan:   I love burritos.

Farah:  What kind do you like?

Rowan:   I usually make it with just rice, black beans and cheese. So yum!

Farah:  What is the best part of being a kid?

Rowan:   Well, you don’t have to work and you don’t have to worry about anything.

Farah:  What is your favorite memory from camp up to this point?

Rowan:  The first day, we were all throwing and the coaches were all really really friendly and really welcoming. They made me feel really comfortable. 

Farah:  It's great that you are having such a good time at camp.  Hope to see you and your siblings around.  Have fun!
