"The saddest day of my life was when my sister got burned. I was 7 years old and she was 9.  We were looking for our swimsuits and thought they were in the washer. The crockpot with hot spicy chicken soup was on top of the washer because there wasn't much counter space. My mom was in the shower, so we tried to move the soup ourselves. When we picked it up, it tipped over and spilled all over my sister's face and arms. Everybody was screaming. Mom ran in from the shower, grabbed her, put her in the tub in cold water, and then we got her to the hospital. My sister is 15 now and has had a lot of surgeries since then. I still feel guilty about it because it was my idea to move the crock pot. I'm still trying to forgive myself.

"My happiest day was when Mom surprised my sister and me with tickets to a One Direction concert. They're a British boy band, and their music is good. My favorite singer in the group is Zane. He's cute and has the best voice."
