To win an Olympic gold medal

Curiosity got the better of me when someone said I could be good at it; especially as rowing is one of Britain’s strongest Olympic sports

Currently learning German and to play the guitar. I enjoy reading inspiring autobiographies and I’m hoping to start part-time study on a taught MA programme in International Relations later this year at Reading University

Beijing always stands out in the Women’s 4x event winning the silver medal position

Steve Redgrave or Kelly Holmes comes to mind at first...but the options are endless!

One of the characters from the film Avatar for many reasons, one being that I could fly dinosaurs/dragons!
