About Jaida

Some fun fact/s:

- I body board.
- I've been on the front page of a Hawaiian newspaper.
- I make move parodies with my friends.

I'm passionate about:

Marine life conservation, acting and languages.

I think issues affecting children and young people in my community (or in general) are:

- Peer pressure and bullying I think are a major amongst young people.
- Also, school and work related stress.

If I had a magic wand, I would address these issues by:

Ensuring that there are numerous help centres and counselling facilities available. If I had a very strong magic wand however, I would magic away all the bullies and stress.

Is there anything else that you would like people to know about you?

I've travelled a lot. I love listening to music and my favourite band is One Direction. My favourite TV show is Doctor Who and I randomly quote Harry Potter.
