“I often think about what I would do if I could completely camouflage myself and be totally invisible would definitely spend the day playing pranks on all my friends and teammates! I’m naturally outgoing and adventurous, so if I was invisible for the day I would go to new places, try new things and really embrace the feeling of being spontaneous and able to do absolutely anything I wanted!”
