to judge them, because we all have a story and you might not know there story yet. A: I don’t really have a favourite movie but I really like ‘She’s the Man’, the ‘Bring It On’ movies and the ‘Bourne Ultimatum’. ◊ What would you like to do if you didn’t have to ask your parents’ permission or seek their approval? J: Drive my Dad’s car, but if you have seen his precious little car, you would realize why that isn’t going to be happening any time soon! A: I don’t know. ◊ How has attending HAC helped you know God better? J: Having Chapel every Tuesday at school has definitely helped me to understand more about God. We have different speakers come in and talk to us about their story. Last term our theme was My Story, Your Story, History and I learnt so much about other people, myself and God. I also do bible studies inside and outside of school, which help me to build a better relationship with God. Both bible study groups are small, which is an ideal size, so we feel like we can openly share our thoughts and questions with each other. A: It has helped because being around other people who love god and seeing how he has impacted on their life really helped me with my own journey. Also taking regular Bible classes and attending chapel gives you an extra little boost sometimes. ◊ What/who has made the biggest impact on your life? J: My Mum and Dad equally share this role. They both encourage me to do things I wouldn’t normally think I was capable of and they are always supporting me and reassuring me that I can do or be whatever I want to be; except an accountant. A: Loads of people have made an impact in my life but definitely my parents for always supporting me, Lyndelle for giving me a chance to serve and my friends for always being there for me. ◊ If you could design your perfect job, what would it be? A: Really I don’t know but something that could combine Maths and Sport would be great. J: I’ve always wanted to be a journalist; whether that means I will be a news reporter on television and be involved in the media or if I will be writing articles in newsletters or magazines, I’m not sure yet, but it will definitely involve journalism and writing. ◊ What makes you laugh? A: My friends, people falling over stuff, people that run funny and people’s faces when they play sport. J: Watching my Dad dance – he is crazy, although he calls it “being cool”. ◊ What is your favourite movie? Why? J: I have so many! I like The Tomorrow When the War Began series, Get Smart, Cat in the Hat (I know, sad right?) and 17 Again, because it has Zac Efron in it and he drives an Audi R8. However, my favourite would have to be any movie with Sandra Bullock in it – especially the Blind Side, because it really inspired me to look beyond the surface in other people and not
Thank you girls for your time!
