Parkes Phoenix

Our Young Gal – Anna Orr

May 6, 2022 By Maggi Barnard

Anna Orr – Parkes Public School Captain

How old are you? 11

Were you named after anyone? Not that I know of. 

What three things would you like to pack in your lunch box every day? Rockmelon, sandwich and crackers.

If you could choose any job in the world, what would you do? I would either be a farmer because I love animals or a doctor as I love helping people. 

If you could invent something, what would it be? A cure for cancer. 

If you had to spend $10,000 today, how would you spend it? To be honest I really don’t know. I’d probably buy food for dinner and cook all the amazing things I’d love to cook. 

What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done? Seeing a snake. I live on a farm, so

this is a common scare. 

If you could meet any historical person, who would that be? Anne Frank, she interests me so much. 

What makes you feel like dancing? Any music with a good beat.

If you found a genie, what would you wish for? For COVID to be gone in a snap of a finger.
