34 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 11.17 Sinopa Brewer Age 13, eighth grade, Newburg Middle Sinopa loves to volunteer. She has given her time to Public Radio, African Christian Fellowship, Lord's Kitchen and her church, Evangel World Prayer Center, where she works in the daycare. She co-leads cultural dances at the Community of Nigerians in Kentucky. She has also participated in Junior Achievement and serves as an ambassador for her school. What's your favorite subject? "Science. I like how there's different formulas to find the exact same thing, and how it's based on how humans have impacted the world." What did you do for the Junior Achievement program? "Mom, which one was that? I do so many things. We would do things for academics, have meetings and stuff with our principal just to see how we can make our school a better place." What do you want to be when you grow up? "A pediatrician. I've always been really good at helping children. I like to help people in general. When I was little, I would always try to perform fake surgeries on my friends and make fake diseases I could cure them of." What inspires you? "My uncles, my aunties, everyone that I've grown up with. They work so hard for everything that they have and do better than what they could have had in different countries. I've always been inspired by them." What do you like about recycling? "I like it because it helps the environment, number one — too much garbage on Earth, we can't live there. Number two, it gives whatever you recycle another life." Do you have your own recycling program in your neighborhood? "Yes. We moved over the summer. (At my old house) you had an option whether you wanted to recycle or not. Four people got the fliers, three people participated. They'd leave it in a can, container or bag, and they'd leave it at the end of the street and I'd go take it and combine it with my other recycling." Do you know what you want to do when you grow up? "I like to swim. I might be a swimmer. I like to do recycling — be a garbage/recycling/your yard waste guy." What do you like to do outside school? "I love birdfeeders. I love birds. I have about six birdfeeders. I get a pinecone and put peanut butter on it and bird seed in it and hang it up. For the birdhouse we — me and a friend — gather sticks together and use mud for glue." Hampton Stuecker Age 9, third grade, Holy Trinity Parish Hampton wants to save Earth. He has run a recycling program in his neighborhood and empties the recycling bins at his school. As a second grader, he joined the student council — usually only open to sixth graders and older.
