I have had the privileged opportunity of being able to interview Zoey Liu and get to know a little bit more about her, now it is your turn!
Q: Why did you want to start writing for Youth Are Awesome?
A: “I wanted to write for YAA because I love to read blogs about all sorts of crazy and mind-blowing stuff on YAA, and I thought that it would be really cool for me to share some more interesting things. Also, I felt that I wanted to be a part of YAA because I believe that it is the perfect platform for youths in Calgary to express their opinions and interests in a safe and judgment-free environment.”
Q:What inspires you?
A: “I truly believe that everyone around me inspires me on a daily basis. Without my family and my friends, I would not be the same person I am today. In addition to my human inspirations, I sometimes become inspired by motivational quotes or DIY ideas on Twitter, as they speak to the crafty component deep within me. Never-the-less, I also feel very connected to food because I find that good food can also calm me down, and that feeling inspires me to share the recipe with the rest of the world.”
Q: How would you describe yourself?
A: “Personally, I see myself as an extremely boring person who loves to stay at home and watch Netflix in my bed. Been very passive, I still enjoy going to the movies or the mall with friends and have long conversations with them.”
Q: How do you hope to inspire people through the Youth of YYC series?
A: “I hope to inspire people by showing them how much youth can achieve in society. It is evident that even though each individual’s achievement is unique, they have all made a positive impact on society which they should be proud for. Through these youth, I believe other members of society may recognize their own achievement or their potential to achieve.”
Q: Which one of your blog posts are you most proud of and why?
A: “The blog post I am most proud of was the “My Day at the University of Alberta Open House”. To me, I felt that was the post which I had the most connection to since it was a story that was completely based on my experience. With the least number of pictures, I still believe the content of that post was the most interesting out of all my blogs.”
