Do you work or study?
I study psychology at the university here.
Do you enjoy studying this?
Yes, it has been my dream since childhood to study psychology. The different theories that attempt to explain human behaviour never cease to amaze me.
How will your studies help you in the future?
I hope to attend a graduate programme to get a specialisation in family and child psychology, so my undergraduate degree is a necessary first step.
Let’s talk about photos. Do you enjoy taking photos?
Photography is one of my hobbies, so yes, I can often be found with my camera taking pictures of beautiful scenery.
Do you like to take photos of yourself?
At the risk of sounding narcissistic, yes, I do enjoy taking my own photo. Essentially though, it’s because I am never happy with the photos others take of me. So, if I don’t take a decent photo of myself once in a while, none would exist.
Would you consider getting a professional photo taken of yourself?
I was somewhat forced to do this last year. My brother and his wife arranged for a series of family portraits for my parents’ wedding anniversary. It was a lovely, albeit awkward, experience.
Do you have a special family photo?
Interestingly, even though a professional took our photos, I don’t consider these “special.” For me, I consider a photograph from my brother’s graduation special. The whole family is there, even my grandmother who is no longer with us. We are happy and just beaming with pride.
