Grant Me Hope: Ashton

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Hi, my name is Ashton, I’m 13 and I’m in eighth grade.

I’m nice, I care about a lot of people. I like to listen to music. It’s a lot different than the kind of music people normally listen to. It’s Japanese music. And I like playing video games, sometimes reading. I like coding and drawing.

When I was like six or five or six, my sister used a program called Scratch and I thought it would be cool to do that. So I’ve been doing it a lot since then on that same program. And I made video games, music, music videos.

My favorite person on earth is my sister. My sister’s birthday is in like 22 days and I got her this blanket. I like to draw, mostly Vocaloid characters, which look like, kind of like anime.

I was thinking, I really want to go to MIT and a family, what I would want is at least one or two cats. If there’s a dog, I want it to be a Husky or a Pug. And I would either want to be the youngest or have like a baby there, or be the only child.
