I can’t tell now because I’m not yet state parliament and I don’t know the challenges that I will face. It’s only after getting to parliament and I will see the outcomes and the challenges that I will face there I’m a Christian, I don’t booze. I don’t take alcohol. My free time is for the Bible and for reading my novels. That’s how I stay. That’s how my life is.” I am prepared for those challenges that MPs face, though there is a lot of intimidation, most of them think I’m young. But all I can tell the fellow youth out there—it’s not the body that works, it’s not the age that works, but it’s the brain and the knowledge that one has.” Je suis convaincue de pouvoir défendre les intérêts des habitants de ma circonscription, et la seule raison pour laquelle ils ont voté pour moi, c'est qu'ils savaient que j'étais capable de répondre à leurs attentes.
