The Concord Monitor of New Hampshire recently interviewed local 8th grader Elizabeth Conway, who is a Scholastic Kid Reporter. Conway, who has met John McCain several times, said, "I interviewed McCain so many times he starts to notice my red shirt, because I have a uniform, and says 'I've answered her questions before.' It's almost like he's a little grumpy with me now."
Conway also told the Monitor about her conversation with Barack Obama, which ended in laughter:
I said, "You're a tough guy, I'm a tough girl living in a tough world. What advice do you have for tough people like me to make a difference in the world?" I also created five fun facts where I give two choices and he picks one. . . . For Red Sox or Cubs, he goes "neither." All his staff people cracked up laughing.
Besides being a Scholastic Kid Reporter, the 13-year old is also involved in school newspaper, ballet, lyrical, pointe, and jazz dance, swimming, cross-country, track and field, violin, acting, singing, and musical theater. She would like to become an actress or a TV reporter.
