Team 1: Personal Profile - Louise
I am pretty much just a plain Jane. Or that’s
what I think.
The only thing that I like about myself really is
my figure…apart from my boobs because to tell you the truth
I really don’t have them.
I always wanted to have gorgeous
long blonde or red hair, not the boring mousey brown colour that
I have now. But mum won’t let me dye it.
I also have to wear
reading glasses which I think would look funky on someone else
but me.
I am pretty tall and slim.
Three years ago I had my appendix
removed so I have a scar… is that important?
Easy-going, fun loving, extroverted, loud
and ambitious.
In my close friendship group there is only
the 5 of us. We are all pretty different girls.
Meg is into horse
riding and I think that she’d just love to own and run her
own horse stud.
Sarah and Danielle both plan on going to Uni when
they finish school, I’m not sure what they want to do, I
don’t think they do either.
Last but not least is the princess
of our group, Mish. I think Mish is planning on going to TAFE
to do beauty therapy.
All of us girls see each other whenever we
can. Dani is in my jazz class, so we see each other twice a week
and every second weekend I go out to Meg’s place to play
tennis and have a swim in her pool. She has got the nicest house.
Dani just moved here recently from Broome in Western Australia so that was a bit of
a culture shock for her, and the other 3 girls have lived here
their whole lives, as have I.
Over the last 5 years I have been in every
school musical/play. It keeps me pretty busy.
Sometimes I volunteer to work in the canteen: provided one of my
girlfriends comes in with me.
Last year I played in the year 10
softball team… I had never played before in my life but it
was good fun.
This year I have decided that I will go in every
event in the athletics carnival even though I can’t jump
or throw and I am not all that fast, but hey I might come out with
a tan.
I haven’t really done much community service. I did join a junior
drama club and we have performed about 10 plays over the past 3
years. I suppose that could be considered community service.
I am as mentioned a part of a junior drama club and I am also
dancing at the moment. I am part of Rapid movements which is jazz
and I do tap as well.
| Money?
|
Money is just something that can get me the things that I want, I
don’t really see why my parents make such a big deal about having it
and not having it… money comes and goes. |
|
Possessions?
|
Are good to have but don’t determine who you are as a person!
|
| Religion?
|
Although we are Anglican, we don’t really go to Church all that
often. In fact I think the only time I’ve gone is for Christmas in
the last year. Religion isn’t a huge issue in my life, but I respect
those who do hold it as a high priority. |
|
Marriage?
|
I love the idea of marriage. I can’t wait to one day have my
wedding. I want the works, I love dressing up… it’s just like
putting on a big show for your friends and family to celebrate such
a special day. I want to marry a spunk. |
| Politics?
|
Umm I don’t really know enough about it to really care. I figure
that the older people can do the serious voting. |
I am not the type of person to ever look down on people, because I
know what it’s like to have that done to you. I consider that
everyone should get the same opportunities no matter what their
background. I think that I am a very nice and friendly person to
everyone.
In an ideal world what would be
your 5 year plan?
To get a job at a hotel and work my way up the ranks so that I might
eventually be the manager. It would be nice also if I had by this
stage meet the guy I could picture myself marrying and have a
deposit for a house.
What things are standing in the way of achieving this?
The fact that it is difficult to get into any kind of management
without qualifications and I hate the thought of full-time study.
What might be some of the solutions?
Perhaps doing a traineeship of some kind, either in tourism or
business management so that I can work full-time as well as doing
some study.
How will you support yourself if you decide on further training
after school?
Well I don’t think Mum and Dad want me to move out of home any time
soon, so while I might only be earning award wage I think that I
will be fine financially.
Mum and Dad have raised me in a way which encourages me to be the
best I can be. Neither of them completed higher education and want
me to be as successful as I can be.
Both believe the way to not
struggle in life is to get an education and then you’ll earn more
money.
We are very close and considering the fact that they don’t
earn much, I am still fairly spoilt.
What is important as far as values go?
I think that people just have to
stay true to themselves, and not worry about what other people
think. As long as they aren’t hurting anyone I say “go for your
life”. I know that I rarely listen to what other people say because
I set my own trends.
