She also likes to babysit infants, go hiking and exploring the world. Savanna is a huge fan of Lucille Ball and the whole 1950's era. Even though she likes bands like Biggie Smalls, Fun., and Regina Spector, she also loves the music of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash. Graduating from high school is at the top of her list as she plans for the future. "When I grow up I would like to be in movies, or write scripts for movies. I am open-minded and adventurous. I try to have as much fun as I can and that does not include drugs. You have much more fun when you can remember your memories. I like to remember what I did the night before.
