Do you have a lucky number?
Yes, seven. At the age of seven I realized that I didn’t have a lucky number yet.

What’s the best birthday present you’ve ever received?
All gifts are nice, sometimes I get money. I find that useful because you can choose what you do with it.

Are you allowed to stay home alone?
Yes, but not for long. This often takes an hour or two.

What is your favourite food?
Spaghetti bolognese. I often take that at a restaurant, if it is on the menu. De Wolf in Brussels is a place where I like to eat. It is a chain, with different stalls and different food.

What do you prefer to eat at the breakfast table?
I have been eating hot oatmeal in the morning for a year now. I learned that from my grandmother. When I stayed with her, she prepared it for me every morning.

Is there a character trait that characterizes you?
I am very sensitive. When people say something unkind, I am quickly affected. Luckily I can talk to my mom about that.

What do you want to be when you’ve grown up?
I do not know yet. After graduating from primary school, I would like to go to the Steiner School in Brussels. This is a school where more emphasis is placed on arts and crafts subjects.

What are your hobbies?
I do contemporary dance, drawing academy and youth movement. I am also a big horse lover. The youth movement I am in is called Bazart. It is still relatively unknown, because it is an art youth movement.

What are you proud of?
People say that I am good at drawing and that I can take beautiful pictures.

Do you have contact with your neighbors?
Yes, Samira lives opposite me. That is a very sweet woman, who held me when I was a baby. She babysat me a few times in the past and she gives us second-hand clothes.
