Her favorite subjects in school are science and art, Victoria said.

When the school day is done, she enjoys dancing, singing and "hanging out with friends and family," she said.

Victoria is most proud of "making the right choices," she said.

And if she had just one wish, she wouldn't use it for herself. Victoria would wish "for my friends and family to stay safe and healthy," she said.
