Year 12, Penrith High School NSW

Several people have likened me to an old lady, because I have a large collection of knitted cardigans, many brooches, and have little toleration for bright lights and loud noises. I have explored the personalities of older women through the eccentric facial expressions they can pull. I conclude that being the 'oldest seventeen-year-old in the world' is indeed a compliment, just as wonderful as a warm drink and a slice of apple cinnamon teacake. Eyesight may weaken, hair may grey, bones may become frail, and nails may decay – but personality will always dominate over age.
