Parkes Phoenix

Our Gal – Ruby Wilson

July 17, 2020 By Maggi Barnard

Parkes Christian School Captain – Ruby Wilson

How old are you? 12

How long have you lived in or around Parkes and what do you like about living here? I have lived in Parkes for three years, then moved to a house near Peak Hill on a farm. The people in Parkes are very friendly and the town isn’t too busy. I just wish there was a river where I could go fishing.

Where do you go to school and what year are you in? I go to Parkes Christian School and am in Year 6.

What is your favourite after school activity? It is tennis.

What is your favourite food and movie? I like spaghetti and meatballs, but my favourite ‘food’ are Tim Tams. My favourite movie is Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker IX.

What music do you listen to? I listen to mostly worship bands such as Hillsong Worship, Bethel Music, Planet Shakers and many more. I also like Imagine Dragons.

What do you want to do when you grow up? Be a marine biologist.

If you could have a super power what would it be? My superpower would be all the superpowers of Spiderman, so wall climbing, web shooting, spider sense and all the others, plus I would also want to be able to shrink and grow, like Ant-Man.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself. I have had a near death experience. I was cray fishing with my dad and we went down to check a line that was being tugged on by a crayfish. We heard a terrifying cracking sound and turned around to see four giant branches crashing down from the tree we were just sitting under. If that crayfish didn’t tug on the line, we would most likely be dead! The crayfish saved our lives literally.
