1.) What's the hardest thing about being a young adult?

Probably trying to figure out what my future is supposed to look like.

Probably my grad party. It was really fun and I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while and eat good food.

3.) What's the nicest thing a friend has done for you recently?

One of my friends is booking a train so she can come to my birthday party!

4.) Which four words describe you best?

Mmm...I would say 'Diligent'. Maybe 'Easy-going'?. 'Pushover'. Final word is...'Spacey'.

5.) What piece of advice would you give to each of your siblings?

Tony: Don't worry so much. Harmony: I have no idea. Maybe don't get the salt and sugar ratios mixed up when you're baking. Charity: learn your cardinal directions before dad teaches you how to drive. Chase: play video games as much as possible because that could become your future career. Symphony: Take as many pictures as you can because you're gonna be happy you have them when you're older.

6.) What would you most like to do for a career?

Right now? Probably work in a library or as an editor at a publishing firm.

7.) What are the five things you enjoy most about your life?

#1: My family. #2: My job at the library. #3: My boyfriend who is cute and nice. #4: Getting to bake whenever I want to. #5: All the good books I've been reading.

8.) If you could make one new law, what would it be?

One new law...a ban on price controls.

9.) What is the best thing about mom? Worst thing about mom? Best thing about dad? Worst thing about dad?

Best thing about mom is that she's very self-sacrificial and always putting other people first. Worst thing about mom... I don't know... maybe she stresses too much about the little things. Best thing about dad is that he's always trying to be the best version of himself. Worst thing about dad is maybe he wants things very controlled so sometimes it makes things less fun because he adds too many rules.

10.) What's the funniest video you've seen online recently?

I've seen some good ones lately. I guess the one about a 4-year-old saying 'My girl's so crazy she want me to drive to Chico. Why you want me to go to Chico, babe?'

Tony Moritz's Q & A Session

Exclusive Interview with Tony Moritz (age 17)...

1.) What's the hardest thing about being an older teenager?

I'd probably have to say looking back at all of the wasted time in my early teen and childhood years. All the things I could've done, piano I could've played etc. And now all that spare time is gone because i have work and all the rest.

2.) Which four words describe you best?

1. Improving ('cuz I'm always trying to become better than i was yesterday). 2. Extroverted (for sure...I'm like on the very extroverted side of the scale). Hmm...I'm not gonna say 'Gamer' like i've said over the past years...I've officially graduated from the title of 'Gamer'... 3. Wild (I'm pretty adventurous). And...final one... 4. Logical.

3.) Can you name one thing that scares you?

With every change, there's sacrifice, so I'm still working through the fear of losing close friendships with people I care about in exchange for other things and other friendships.

4.) What piece of advice would you give to each of your siblings?

For Chase: find a productive hobby that you're really passionate about and then pursue that hobby. For Charity: I'd say remember that you'll be friends with your siblings your whole life, so keep that in mind. For Harmony: I'd say get a solid routine that you can follow so that you wake up the next morning and it's not 1pm (or some ungodly hour). For Symphony: Symphony is like the perfect 5-year-old sister, to be honest... keep doing what you're doing. 5 stars. And then for Angel: I guess I'd tell her to have some more patience with people.

5.) What would you most like to do for a career?

Ooh. Well, I've thought recently about how cool it would be to go into sales and be some super good salesman. I don't know how realistic that is because I haven't done that at all, but I do think I'd be pretty darn good at it, and it would be something I'd enjoy.

6.) What are the five things you enjoy most about your life?

I really like making friends and meeting new people. It's fun to challenge myself to learn a new skill or to make a new friend. I find that super engaging. I love my whole family and like spending time with everybody and watching my siblings grow up. I like exploring; going to new places and checking them out. And I like to party.

7.) What are you most looking forward to about being a grown-up?

Getting married and having kids. Cuz as I've been growing up I've thought about the way I'd like to raise kids and what I'd do differently from my parents. And the gift of childbirth and that miracle. And also one day achieving financial freedom and doing stuff that I was unable to do as a kid.

8.) What is your favorite family tradition?

As a kid, I thought that we never had family traditions. Like if someone asked me I'd have no idea how to answer the question. But now I'm like 'We have a ton'. One of my favorites is having Thanksgiving with the family and saying what we're thankful for.

9.) What is the best thing about mom? Worst thing about mom? Best thing about dad? Worst thing about dad?

Best thing about mom: Do I have to pick just one thing? I guess I love how genuine mom is. She's such a genuine person. And there's been a lot of parts of myself that I've modeled after her because I've seen how it glows off of her. Worst thing about mom: she gets a little grumpy sometimes and just not in the mood for being happy. Best thing about dad: this question is easier to answer because I brag about certain traits he has to my friends. One thing that comes to mind right now is how focused he is on not just changing our actions but changing our values so that we will make those good decisions ourselves. Worst thing about dad: this is something that i think i inherited from him and trying to fix in myself. Sometimes we overplan things—especially socially—and overanalyze social situations, and that can take us out of the moment.

10.) If you could have lunch with any celebrity, who would it be and why?

Maybe if I knew more celebrities, I'd have a better answer to the question...I'm only gonna talk about alive celebrities...I would want to see inside the mind of this guy named Alex Hormozi. I saw a video of him talking about sales and he brings home like $200 million a year. And I think he would have a lot of good things to pour into anybody.

Harmony Moritz's Q & A Session

Exclusive Interview with Harmony Moritz (age 14)...

1.) What's the hardest thing about being a teenager?

Uh...hmm...man this is HARD...What kind of teenager do you mean? Like MY age? Uh...not being able to drive, but like I also hate driving. Like I want to be able to drive, but I also do not want to drive.

2.) What's the nicest thing a friend has done for you recently?

Lily came and watched the Barbie movie with me even though she'd already seen it.

3.) Which four words describe you best?

All the things I'm thinking of just sound narcissistic...I don't like describing myself for that reason. 'Crafty'. 'Musicophile'. 'Imaginative'. And 'Friendly'.

4.) What piece of advice would you give to each of your siblings?

Listen to learn. Don't listen to speak.

5.) What are you most looking forward to about being a grown-up?

I'm really excited to decorate my own house or apartment.

6.) If you could make one new law, what would it be?

Make abortion unquestionably illegal instead of just having states decide.

7.) What is your favorite family tradition?

Back when I could eat gluten, it was when Mimi made rolls every Christmas and Thanksgiving. Those things are so good. But since I can't eat gluten...I like drawing on balloons every birthday. I think it's fun.

8.) What is the best thing about mom? Worst thing about mom? Best thing about dad? Worst thing about dad?

Best: Mom is a very good chef. Worst: It's not her fault, but about once a month, she does get a little moody. I can't get away with nearly as much as usual during that time. As for dad...best: he's a very straight-headed, logical person. Worst: All of my friends—with me included—agree that he is a little scary.

9.) What's the funniest video you've seen online recently?

I really like the one of the dude comparing white T-shirt prices from luxury brands... that was so funny! The $450 white gucci T-shirt and the entry-level-gaming-PC-priced T-shirt from Prada!

10.) If you could have lunch with any celebrity, who would it be and why?

Jesus...and I feel like that answer is self-explanatory, but if they have to be walking...then talking with Toby Fox (the creator of Undertale) would be cool.

Charity Moritz's Q & A Session

Exclusive Interview with Charity Moritz (age 13)...

1.) What's the hardest thing about being a teenager?

Probably like hormones? Cuz like things that are not really a big deal seem like a really big deal when you're a teenager...so that's annoying.

2.) What was the happiest event you experienced over the last year?

Oh that's a hard question...maybe going to Crosspoints, honestly. Because it's nice to have a change and I think I really like that church.

3.) Which four words describe you best?

'Emotional'. I don't know what the word for it is but like 'aware of other people's feelings'? 'Quiet', definitely. I don't know the last one so... maybe 'Humble'.

4.) Can you name one thing that scares you?

That scares me? Just like...adult guys. Of course not other people's dads but they just scare me. I don't know.

5.) What piece of advice would you give to each of your siblings?

I would tell Chase and Symphony to not take things personally. So like if people insult them, they should know that they're probably dealing with something else because they feel bad about themselves. For Harmony? I don't know. I feel like there's not much advice I can give her that she doesn't already know. For Tony? Maybe he could manage his pride a little? He's doing fine but I'm not sure. I don't know much about Tony. And then for Angel? I think she should not worry about what other people think.

6.) What are the five things you enjoy most about your life?

I like living in a Christian household where we constantly talk about Jesus. I like that I have good parents that teach me things that are not garbage. I like that I have supportive siblings and a good neighborhood. And I like that we go to a church that is nearby and where there's a lot of people that I know.

7.) What are you most looking forward to about being a grown-up?

Hmm? Probably just starting a family and being more independent.

8.) If you could make one new law, what would it be?

That's really hard... I feel like all of the laws just make sense. And they would've already added another one if there was a better one... so I just don't think there would be any more laws that I would add.

9.) What is the best thing about mom? Worst thing about mom? Best thing about dad? Worst thing about dad?

Best thing about mom: I like that she knows when I'm feeling sad and talks to me. Worst thing? Is that she can get a liiittle mad at times when she's had a rough day and sometimes takes it out on us...which everybody does, but ya know. Best thing about dad: I like that he teaches us the important things. And the worst thing? Uhh...probably that he's a liiittle intimidating at times, as I've told him before.

10.) If you could have lunch with any celebrity, who would it be and why?

I'm stealing this idea from Tony; but definitely Jesus. If I have to choose one on earth? Hmm... that is really hard...I mean there are so many celebrities on earth and a lot of them are not really good people. But the first one that came to mind is Taylor Swift...so that I can make Angel jealous.

For Symphony: umm...get done with chores faster. Charity: That one's a little bit too hard. And then Harmony: Don't tease me as much. And then for Tony, it would be: actually do chores instead of skip them. For Angel, I don't see her very often and so I can't think of any.

10.) What's the funniest video you've seen online recently?

I like Diana and Roma where they were painting a pumpkin and they painted it purple and orange and then they got into a Halloween room. Because like Roma had a popsicle dripped on him. Diana had a spider that came to her on her bed and Roma said it was his cute little pet. And I was like 'That is not a real spider.'

11.) What does dad do at his job?

Shrugs... Never seen him. Just write stuff? And typing stuff? That's all I know.
