Jordan, Klara and Klaudia are sisters who live in Port Kennedy. Jordan is almost five and has CF, Klara is 14 and Klaudia is 22. The sisters have many interests and really enjoy being active. They have 5 dogs and 4 cats. Rozee caught up with Jordan, Klara and Klaudia to ask them a few questions.
Do you like hanging out with each other? What do you do?
Klaudia: Yes we all do ballet together. I started because Jordan was doing dance. We also like to go on the trampoline and swim.
Klara: We go bike riding almost every day, we watch movies and we all go to the same dance academy.
How would your friends describe you?
Klaudia: They would say that I am really sporty and like doing outdoor things.
Klara: My friends would probably say I am not afraid to try new things, I’m a good friend and I stand up for myself and for others.
Jordan: My friends would say that I am nice.
What makes you proud of your sisters?
Klaudia: I am proud of how Jordan stays strong and never says no to dancing.
Klara: I am proud of Jordan’s dancing and all her awards and Klara with her soccer. Whatever they do, they do it really well.
Jordan: I am proud of when they do BMX tricks and when they dress up to go out they look nice.
What other things do you do in your spare time?
Klaudia: I work at Spotlight as a coordinator and I am also studying Community Services. I do BMX riding and was 4th and 6th in the state for when I was younger. I took up BMX because Klara was doing it.
Klara: I’m in Year 9 . I like to go to the beach and have also played soccer since I was in Year 5. I took up BMX when I was in Year 4, because I wanted to be like my dad.
Jordan: I like going to the beach with our dogs. We have Chiwawas. I am also learning the piano and I do swimming lessons too.
What is the best bit of advice you have been given?
Klaudia: To do your best.
Klara: To stay strong, be yourself, ignore people who try to put you down. To stick with your friends who mean the most to you.
Jordan: To do my best.
If you could meet one famous person who would it be and why?
Klaudia: I haven’t thought of that, there isn’t anyone.
Klara: Bethany Hamilton, the surfer who had her arm bitten off by a shark. She is still surfing. I like how she is consistent with what she loves.
Jordan: I would like to meet Shirley Temple. I have learnt some of my dancing and singing from watching her as a young girl on You-Tube.
What is it like having a sister who has CF?
Klaudia: When Jordan gets a cold, we wonder if she’s going to be OK and seeing mum stress about it can be hard.
Klara: It’s hard at times, but we find a way to make it better just by being there for each other. We talk to each other.
What would you like to do in the future?
Klaudia: I would like to be happy and make sure my family is happy.
Klara: Travel the world and take up surfing.
Jordan: I would like to be a speedway racer.
