"Passport to Life" by Deena Lynch

School year

School

Lourdes Hill College

Concept statement

When given the word 'passport' it took me to many places in my thoughts as a passport does in reality. I wanted to express how passports are a ticket to see the wonders of the world and have a taste of life. And just feeling the experience, changes you to a whole new person.

Where in the world would you go to and why?

Japan, most definitely. I was born there, and moved here shortly after and quickly forgot the language. It's a pity that I want to remove. I just love and inspire their culture and want to be consumed by it.

Favourite stuff?

Chocolate came first ^^ Friends, guitar, piano, food.. food, aircon

Three people you'd take to a desert island?

Hahahahahaha, interesting. A bunch of turtles and rip the hair off my back and tie them all together and ahoy set sail.. haha nah, I would take.. hmm An electronics god so he or she can help me set up computers, lights, aircon, fans etc. hahaha then a musician, a one man band to provide music every night, and hes also a masseuse and lastly, my best friend to share it with. Got abit carried away there..

What will you be doing in 10 years?

If my goals are still the same, I'll be studying medicine.

Why should you win this competition?

I was wishing about how I could seize the opportunity they're giving to see my dad and to finally accomplish one of my dreams for life to go back to Japan for a while and learn the language fluently.
