At the tender age of 17, head girl of Nelson College for Girls Alexis Reeve already has a good idea about what she wants to do next. With plans to go to the University of Canterbury next year to study a Bachelor of Communication and a Bachelor of Law. From there the sky is the limit, with public speaking or even acting on the cards.
If I could have any job, it would be…
A professional public/motivational speaker, or thinking very unrealistically, maybe even an actress. I just love public speaking really, and any job centred around writing and/or presenting speeches would be my dream.
If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be...
Although it may sound cliché, if I could tell my younger self anything it would be to have more faith in myself, to not have unattainable expectations of my achievements, and in general, just believe in myself more. It would save a lot of unnecessary stress!
If I could swap lives with someone, it would be…
Julia Roberts, one hundred per cent. She is just the most incredible actress, starring in the best movie of all time (Notting Hill), and overall is such an inspirational, empowering, female figure. She is an icon.
If I could only eat one meal for the rest of my life it would be…
Pasta, there are so many different varieties, I don’t think I could ever get sick of it really.
If I could have a superpower, it would be…
Probably teleportation. In certain situations, being able to teleport anywhere would just make life so much easier. Not getting stuck in rush hour traffic, and also being able to see the most incredible places in the world.
If I could donate $1m to any charity it would be…
The Ronald McDonald House. Something about the purpose behind this charity really hits me hard. The incredible level of care that they provide is only possible through people donating, and the facilities and care that it provides makes such traumatic times for families that little bit easier.
If I could visit any country in the world, it would be…
My dream country to travel to is England. I absolutely love history and England carries the most incredible historical monuments from the time periods that just absolutely fascinate me.
If I could have lunch with three people, they would be…
Firstly, Julia Roberts (of course), then I would say Zendaya, as she is just such an amazing woman, actress, and overall public figure. Then lastly, although it sounds strange, if William Shakespeare was still alive, probably him. I just have an absolute fascination with his work and this time period, having studied it rather meticulously, yet he still is covered in so much mystery, so I think he would be rather interesting.
