Interview with the Prime Minster

Being in the presence of the Prime Minster made both me and Aye mentally scream. But we managed to calm down before the interview. There were a lot of children gathered outside the fence we were in, they watching us and the Prime Minster.

Although we were a bit pressured and nervous we remained calm. I'm honestly proud of myself, and Aye. It was a privilege to meet the Prime Minster and to talk to her. I think both me and Aye couldn't be more honoured to have the opportunity to speak to the Prime Minster face-to-face.

Here's the questions we asked her along with her answers in short. Also never forget that "Your never to old for people to care what you think". Those were some words from the Prime Minster herself.

Aye: How is your family doing?

"My family is great!"

Nadia: Speaking of your family, we saw Neve on the news from Waitangi Day. How do you manage being a mum and prime minister at the same time?

"Yeah well a lot of people have daughters and sons while also working and being busy so I feel I am just going through that too."

Nadia: Why did you decide to give out free lunches?

"Well I got a lot of Emails from kids about lunches."

Aye: What is Wellington like?

"It's great but it's quite cold."

Aye: What is working in The Beehive like?

"It's really awesome and I feel privileged to be working in a office there!"

Nadia: What is your favourite thing about being a Prime Minister? Who is your role model?

(Answer for who is your Role Model?). "My mum and dad of course!"

Aye: What is your favourite song? Why?

"Tidy up Time because when I play it, Neve (her daughter) cleans up her toys!"

Nadia: Has being Prime Minister been a dream of yours since you were young?

"No."

Aye: Random question: What is an item you cannot live without and why?

"My phone, unfortunately because I can use it to connect to people I work with" 

Nadia: What is something you are most proud of?

"I'm proud knowing that I am helping others lives."

Aye: What would be some advice for someone our age who wants to become Prime Minister one day?

"You can do it. I think that's very important!"

Nadia: What has been the most challenging part of leading the country through the COVID-19 pandemic?

"Worrying about making the right or wrong decision."
