Sitting around talking with my mates is nothing new to me. We’re just like any other group of teenagers, spending a lot of time at each other’s houses and hanging around like sixteen-year-olds do. But we’ve all got our own view on how and where we live, and what we’d like to be doing with our lives in the future. So I decided to pin down three of my mates, and ask them a few questions, to give you an insight into life through a young person’s eyes… What do you think are the best things about Liverpool? Lyndsey – ‘It’s a multi-cultural city, so there are loads of different people with different lifestyles to meet.’ Kerri – ‘’The people are so friendly here.’ Andrew – ‘Anfield, because it’s such an experience going to the stadium.’ Where are your favourite places to go? Kerri – ‘Quiggins, because it’s more unique than other shops and you can buy more unusual clothes. Also, the docks, because you can chill down there and it’s a good place to do art work.’ Lyndsey – ‘I love walking around town, because of all the shops and people.’ Andrew – ‘Newsham Park, because that’s where I go every weekend to play footie with my mates.’ And what are your hopes and dreams for the future? | "I find inspiration outdoors and all around Liverpool" | | Kerri Gallimore |
Kerri – ‘I want to join a band and learn the guitar again. I want to be famous!’ Lyndsey – ‘I want to see the world and I’d like to own my own night club. I want to be a beautician and maybe own a salon one day.’ Andrew – ‘I want to be an English teacher.’ What else do you like doing? Kerri – ‘Art work. The museums and galleries are always good to inspire me for my art, but I find inspiration outdoors and all around Liverpool as well.’ Andrew – ‘Going out with my mates and listening to music. I like anything with good guitar in it, like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but also Snoop Dogg.’ Lyndsey – ‘I like spending time with my mates and going to the gym.’ |
