Tell us your story - an interview with Jess Kragh
Hey, I'm Jacinta. I'm 17 and I love life. I like to have fun! I can get bored easily but I can also be easily amused. I get distracted easily and can distract others - but when I know what I want I will work hard for it.
I'm currently studying year 11. As I don't have any interest in going to university after school finishes, I have chosen to do VCAL, which involves doing work placement once a week throughout the entire year.
This is an interview in which I spoke to Jess, a student also in year 11 at my school, who went on a community service trip to Borneo in November 2007.
I want to experience the world, I want to travel and learn. I like individuality, I hate too much of the same thing. Your character is who you are, you're reputation is what others think of you. I like people who are not afraid to show off who they are:
Always be yourself because the people that mind don't matter and the people that matter don't mind
I am not sure about my future, so I am trying different things through my work placement. At the moment, I am focusing on a career in the music industry as I have a love for music and so far I am really enjoying it.
I have previously worked at The Music Workshop and now I am working at 94.7 The Pulse. I love it here as I am able to experience what it's like to work at a radio station, by observing professionals, practicing using the panel and constructing my own 'On Air' shows which go for an hour. The shows can include interviews, debates, talks on issues I feel passionate about and personal choice of music.
I hope you enjoy the interview!
- Jacinta
