1. What state & year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I am currently studying in year 11 in Queensland with my subjects consisting of English, Mathematical Methods, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology.
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
What a decision it is to choose one when there are so many that could be deemed horrible? Film, media and television have been gateways for promoting dangerous activities, horrible violence or plain stupid stuff. The "Friday the 13th" franchise is a collection of regurgitated dumb plot lines and cringe-worthy acting. Personally I haven't seen all the films from the franchise, but who would, when you could buy a Halloween costume more frightening?
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Logically, weapons would definitely prove useful due to their abilities to eradicate zombies, but what about something else? Perhaps a mirror would be effective in scaring a zombie into believing it was someone else in the reflection, and attacking it? Then, while it is distracted, other weapons are used.
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
One of the most philosophical questions we all ask ourselves is "What is the meaning of life?" I once heard someone say that the meaning of life is to give someone else's life meaning. This quote encompasses what I want to be as a person and what I want to achieve. I would like to have a meaningful career in the medical field where you are always helping people other than yourself. Usually people are requiring your assistance at their worst. Being able to help in a significant way would provide such a rewarding feeling - this would symbolise the meaning of life, helping others above yourself.
5. If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? (Optional).
Well 2020 has definitely been a strange year - the unexpected Covid-19, lockdowns and social distancing. But during this time, I think we have all had time to reflect on our lives and invest time into things we've always wanted to do, but didn't ever have the time until now. As the world slowly resumes to normal, I think I have learnt a lot along the way. Lessons of showing courage and motivation in the face of adversity, the benefit of trying new things and going outside your comfort zone, the importance of friendship and spending time with those who matter to you and finding your purpose is what I have learnt on this journey through life so far... I have taken opportunities while also rejecting some and learning along the way. I've passed things, I've failed others, I have been successful, sometimes I haven't. But it's about how you react when something doesn't go your way and what you do to change it. This pandemic has made us all look differently at how we live and it has made me think how to do things unconventionally, to not overcommit, put yourself first, but always be open to change.
