Describe a time when you were in charge of something** One time I was in charge of something was a group assignment in my computers class in year 9/10 in high school. The assignment was making and editing a video. This particular time that I was in charge of something stood out to me as I did the majority of

What’s it like to have a parent cry?** It’s unnerving as parents are “meant” to be strong and not vulnerable. A parent’s emotion is often a good indication of how bad a situation is. The first (and so far only) time I ever saw my Dad really cry hard was when my Nan (his mother) passed away after a short

Describe the worst fight you ever had with a friend** Three years ago I had a huge fight with a former friend about what time I needed to arrive to our mutual friend hen’s party. I didn’t receive an email invitation and I texted our mutual friend to ask what time she wanted me to arrive and my former friend

Tell of a time when you did your best but still didn’t succeed** One time really sticks out to me–an editing exam that I had to complete as an assessment task for an editing class in my second year of at uni. I found the editing class, especially keeping up with editing symbols and knowing them off by heart, quite

Describe a camping or hiking experience you’ve had** I can only recall one camping experience I had and it wasn’t even real camping.

What are some times when you’ve gone to extremes to win?** I can only recall one time when I’ve gone to extremes to win, or really extremes to win an award. When I was 10 I played on my school’s netball team and every week the coaches would give one or two players a “Player of the Week Award” which

‘Gone but not forgotten.’** My interpretation of this quote on a personal level is that the people in my life that leave me, either through death or circumstance/choice, are never forgotten. I have found that this is true, in particularly with loved ones who have died, men I use to date and people I am no longer friends with.  

Recount any experiences you’ve had with the police and describe your feelings about the police generally** The only experiences I’ve had with police are when they have door knocked to ask about my neighbours in my home town and as a one-time witness to a car accident involving two people on the run. In these experiences, the police have been

Describe a time when you’ve helped someone** One experience that sticks with me is my second year of uni when I helped one of my then-roommates get to the hospital. I remember getting up early on Saturday morning to do my laundry as the washing machines and dryers at the student accommodation where I lived at the time would constantly

Describe a time when someone helped you** One specific time that someone helped me which has stuck with me is when I threw up on a train last year. Early last year I was on a train on my way to the Pacific Magazine offices as I was undertaking an internship at Marie Claire. I woke up that morning with
