My Interview
-
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Impatient. Curious. Argumentative.
What did you want to be after you left school?
Doctor
Were you ever in trouble at school?
Often. Sometimes resulting in physical punishment by teachers, which was legal then.
Who is your favourite singer or band?
Pink Floyd
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
Not get impatient listening to others. Finish projects better. Think of a third wish.
Tell us a joke.
Name three fish that begin and end with the letter “K”. (You have to do the next bit.)
