NAME: Kol P.
AGE: 8
I'M FROM: Brooklyn, NY
My favorite color is: Red.
What is your favorite thing to eat?
Chicken and rice.
Are you the oldest, middle, or youngest?
I am the oldest and have a brother who is five.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A serpentologist; I want to study snakes of all sizes.
What is your favorite thing to study in school?
Lately in school, we’ve been studying historical changemakers. The more I study them, the more I want to be one!
My favorite thing to read is:
Graphic novels. Right now, I’m reading the Dog Man series by David Pilkey.
Would you rather live in space or under the ocean? Why?
The ocean because there's fish. I like fish as much as I like snakes.
Who are your heroes and why?
I like Henry Ford because his invention created a whole new era for people.
Why do you think it’s important to study history?
Because if someone’s like, “Hey, do you know what the first musical instrument was?” you wouldn’t know unless you’d studied history.
P.S. It was a bone flute from 50,000 years ago.
Is there a topic or subject you think Honest History should cover? If so, what?
Since I'm part Gujarati, maybe a magazine issue about Indian inventions and culture.
