What does Nova love most about nature?

I love nature because it’s full of little wonders—like butterflies dancing in the breeze, lizards sunbathing on warm rocks, and flowers blooming in every color. Being outside brings peace, especially when I’m fishing, listening to the water and feeling the stillness. It’s where I feel closest to God’s beauty.


What is Nova's favorite animal—and why?

Geckos are my favorite animal because they’re tiny, clever, and full of personality. I love how they climb walls, blink those big eyes, and stick out their little tongues. They’re quiet but curious, and watching them explore is the best.


What is Nova's favorite outdoor activity?

My favorite outdoor activity is catching lizards. I love the thrill of spotting them dart across a rock or tree, then trying to gently catch them without scaring them off. It’s fun, fast, and helps me feel connected to nature.
