Sophie Vijay - Congeniality Winner
1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My favourite sound would have to be, without a doubt, the sound of laughter! Laughter is an element of beauty and spreads joy and happiness to people all around the word, a key ingredient to a positive and happy life. It is also the best medicine for cheering anyone up!
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
The talent to heal and give strength to those suffering. I have worked with Joshua's Wish which helps provide experiences for children aged 0-25 years, suffering from terminal cancer. The determination that these people have is admiring. I would want to help them beat cancer with healing.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
My best habit is how driven I am to succeed and be proactive in working towards my goals. I love having something to work on and the feeling of achievement. After all, there's nothing like working hard for something and being rewarded for it!
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
Of course I do, I am only human. Nobody is perfect, but I want to work on my imperfections and one day become an independent, successful young woman. All mistakes are a learning curve.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
Being mixed race has exposed me to a wide variety of foods, I enjoy traditional Sri Lankan foods which allow me to spend time cooking with my grandmother, but my favourite has to be the traditional English roast dinner cooked by my Mother!
