Team 6: Personal Profile -
Ben

Very sporty.

Friendly, like the outdoors.

My mates from school and the softball and footy teams hang
around a bit.

Any school sport team that is going.

I’m not really into that but people who are- I think are really
good.

I am in the footy club and the softball club.

Money?
|
Money is the best. It is really great when I get my pay each
week. I try to save some all the time because Mum and Dad
always say it is important to put something away for a rainy
day. |
|
Possessions?
|
I saved up and bought an X-Box with my pay and my birthday
money. I really love that I was able to buy something for
myself. |
|
Religion?
|
We are not really a religious family but we go to church at
Christmas and Easter. |
|
Marriage?
|
If I meet the right girl I’ll probably get married some day. |
|
Politics?
|
I think all politicians are a pack of jerks. They have no
idea what the real world is like. |
I think it is really important to stick by your mates.

In an ideal world what would be
your 5 year plan?
I would have finished Year 12 and have completed an apprenticeship
in Landscape Gardening or something like that.
What things are standing in the way of achieving this?
Getting the apprenticeship might be hard.
What might be some of the solutions?
If I can get a School Based New Apprenticeship before I get into
Year 11 I will have a start.
How will you support yourself if you decide on further training
after school?
I will be getting paid while I do my training so it won’t be a
problem. I will live at home till I finish my training.

Mum and Dad both hate their jobs so they are really keen that we
should do what makes us happy no matter what it is.
What is important as far as values go?
Sticking by your family and mates.
