The Selkirk Settler Times recently brought to you a story on St. Andrews resident Summer Howell. The 16-year-old is a actor and was recently a lead actor in Disney’s film Clouds.
The Settler Times went a little further in getting to know Howell in this week’s Ten Questions feature.
1. ST: Who is the most influential person in your life?
SH: I think I’m most influenced by my closest friend and my mom. It sounds cheesy, but they make me a better person.
2. ST: What is your favourite movie to watch and favourite song to listen to?
SH: I love going to the theatre for new releases and I find it hard to pick a favourite movie since I watch so many. When it comes to music I’m into alternative music, R&B, and some rap.
3. ST: It’s Saturday morning, what are you having for breakfast?
SH: I’m not a big fan of breakfast food and I honestly wouldn’t make it to the table in time since I sleep past noon.
4. ST: What is your favourite vacation destination in Manitoba and in the world?
SH: I really enjoyed my time I spent in Nopiming Provincial Park while I was filming Hunter Hunter. It was so pretty there. As for the rest of the world I love travelling anywhere warm so I’m a big fan of Arizona.
5. ST: What is one book or magazine that you can’t put down?
SH: I don’t spend a lot of time reading anything besides scripts, but I recently finished The Great Gatsby in school and I liked it.
6. ST: Are you an early bird or a night owl?
SH: I’m definitely a night owl. As I mentioned earlier, I usually sleep past lunch on the weekends to make up for the sleep I don’t take at night.
7. ST: What is your most embarrassing moment?
SH: I’m a pretty clumsy person so anytime I trip or walk into the side of a table is pretty embarrassing.
8. ST: What is something you are striving to do in life?
SH: One of my biggest goals is to make acting my full time job when I’m older. I’m really passionate about it and it makes me happy so I’m definitely striving towards that.
9. ST: If you could have one super power, what would it be?
SH: I would like to have teleportation. Nothing against people who want to fly, but I’d much rather teleport and appear wherever I want than take time flying there. Plus it would be very easy to go on vacations.
10. ST: What is your favourite inspirational quote?
SH: My favourite would have to be “Good things come to those who work hard”
I think it’s very accurate.
