Parkes Phoenix

Our Young Gal – Lexi Herden

July 16, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

Captain Parkes Christian School – Lexi Herden

How old are you? 11 turning 12

Where do you go to school? I go to Parkes Christian School.

What is your favourite after school activity? Dancing

What is your favourite food, movie and music? My favourite food is REAL Mexican tacos, my favourite movie is Annie the original and my favourite piece of music is called Palladio by Karl Jenkins.

What do you want to do when you grow up? I want to be a soldier and zoologist that works in the aquarium training dolphins to dance.

If you could have a super power what would it be? Invisibility.

What makes you laugh the most? When our pet birds laugh and also when I look back at silly things that happened when I was younger.

If you were the ruler of your own country, what would be the first law you would introduce? That there should be a Kids Day like mothers and fathers day and the kids can act like parents for a day.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself. I argue with my animals like I do with my brother except in their language. Like sometimes my bird Freddie yells at me and bites me while rubbing his beak up against the cage so I squawk back at him rub my head against the cage and tap his beak.
