Poppy

Who:

Poppy Miles, 180 cm / 5’11”, English, born July 24th.

We Asked:

— What are you interested in that most people haven’t heard of?

Astronomy – it may sound a bit boring, but I did it as an extra subject at school and have been super interested in the stars ever since. I went white water rafting in America a few years ago in the middle of Idaho with my family and every night we would camp underneath the stars in the middle of nowhere. There was not a single cloud in the sky, and it felt like we were the only people in the world.

— Who is someone you admire and why?

I have so many people I admire but my great grandfather competed in the 1928 Olympics in Paris for hurdles and high jumping. I have always hugely admired him because of his amazing determination and success. Although I did not get his athletic genes, I hope that my great grandchildren may one day look up to me in the same way because of something I have achieved.

— What are three interesting facts about you?

– I truly live in the middle of nowhere and every year my village has a fete; we all meet and play games and I always win the Welly Wanging competition!
– When I was 13, I took part in the national championships for horse riding.
– I can count to 100 in Cantonese.
