Milia Kebbi - École François-Buote
What are some of your interests/hobbies/extracurricular activities?
- I have a deep passion for art in general - painting, drawing - but I would define myself more as an art enthusiast than as an artist. Literature, paints, music, theatre, fashion - I'm interested in each of them, and more. I spend a lot of time researching political topics and engaging in discussions about them. I enjoy watching documentaries, as well as movies, series, and reading, as I find them different ways to experience different lives.

What are your future plans?
- I would love to have the chance to study in a prestigious university. While Cambridge and Columbia are my dream universities, I think I have more chances in Edinburgh or even York.

What are you most looking forward to about working as a page at the Legislative Assembly?
- With having done past youth parliaments, I think it's so interesting to learn and understand the work that actually gets done within the Legislative Assembly. It's easy to critique from outside but acknowledging the efforts and being able to get a grasp of the Members' routine is what stood out to me. Furthermore, getting to represent my school and working alongside other excellent high schoolers from across the province is a unique opportunity. Alumni from my school who have participated in this program have always enjoyed their time and shared positive feedback, which I am to continue!
