Who are you? Ruth Digby

 ruthdigby.jpg

Age:18.
Job: Manager of the Old School Café.
Employer: East Coulee School Museum.
What do you like about your job? Being paid to bake!
Where do you live? East Coulee.
How long have you lived there? My whole life.
What do you like best about Drumheller? The scenery... being able to walk barefoot by the river and through the hills.
If there were one thing you could change about Drumheller, what would it be? For people to have a stronger environmental conscience. There is so much that can be done, both on a personal and municipal level, and I do not believe that environmental issues get enough attention here.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Such a difficult question. I’d love to travel the world and see everywhere! Maybe after that I could decide.
What do you do in your spare time? Bake cakes, cookies, bread, anything at all. Dance, mostly ballet, and read fantasy and historical fiction.
Your life’s best achievement? Living as an individual, without caving to “normal” standards or expectations.
What are your strengths? Being intelligent and determined.
Any weaknesses? Being a perfectionist. In me it’s a weakness - my standards for myself and everybody else are unreasonably high.
Any bad habits? Probably!
Three words that best describe you? Curious, compassionate and unique.
What makes you happy? Sunshine, the smell of baking bread, and other simple pleasures.
If you were granted three wishes from an angel or genie, what would they be?An end to undue suffering, unlimited baking ingredients, and the chance to meet a fairy!
If you could have one super power what would it be? Being able to fly! I’ve dreamed of it my entire life.
Where do you see yourself ten years from now? Saving the world from climate change.
Who would you like most to meet? There are so many amazing people in history and today that I’d find it difficult to choose. Maybe Einstein? Everyone says that he was a genius, but I think we forget how much that really means. He’d be fascinating to talk to.
Words to live by? Always be yourself, you are the only one who can.
