SoulKids® Rockstar - Ella

Sally our roving reporter has been out and about doing her interviews again. She met up with ELLA and had a wonderful discussion.

Q (Sally): Ella how old are you?

Ella: I am 8 years old

Q: You are fairly new to SoulKids®, when did you attend?

E: About 2 weeks ago

Q: What did you like about SoulKids®?

E: I liked the stories because they taught me new things. I also like the great teachers.

Wow thanks Ella – the teachers will be happy to hear that!

Q: What was your favourite story?

E: I liked the Bruce Lee story because it taught us never to give up and to always say YES to life.

Also once you start something, be determined and finish it.

Wow – great lesson Ella!

Q: Anything else you learnt?

E: I learnt to stop looking at others and what they have got, and to start looking at yourself and what you have. Do not be jealous of others- be happy with who you are and what you have got.

Amazing learning Ella – thanks for sharing.

Q: What would you like to see in the world?

E: I would like there to be no wars and have peace.

I would also like to see flying cars.

Q: And what about your dream? What do you want to be when you grow up?

E: I want to be a famous gymnastic teacher.

Wow Ella – that is exciting – what qualities do you have to achieve this?

E: I am gifted in being strong and a risk-taker.

I get lots of support and I practice a lot.

I also am happy when I help others.

Q: Anything else you learnt at SoulKids® you want to share?

E: Do not be afraid to put your hand up and tell what you know, even if it’s wrong.

Make friends and be kind and happy to others.

Do not feel sad when someone says something bad to you because you are special.

Be STRONG and have CONFIDENCE to always be YOU.

Q: Wow Ella- you are amazing and I think you will be an awesome teacher when you get older.

E: Can I tell one final story?

I had auditions a couple of days ago and they told us our roles. I did not get a main role and I was really sad, but then I thought life is full of opportunities and just because I did not get a main role that does not mean I should stop loving acting and and stop doing it. Just because one audition did not work out – it should not stop you from loving what you do.

Thanks Ella- great advice for us all.

We really look forward to having you back in SoulKids® soon.
