| Lauren - I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia where I’m a 10th grader at Vancouver Technical Secondary School. I’m an active participant in my school’s athletics program playing volleyball, soccer, badminton, and track & field. I have been awarded the Top Female Athlete for the past two years. In addition to my athletic involvement in school, I am an honour roll student standing 1st with top marks in my grade for the past two years. I also volunteer with Urban Promise at their camps and after school programs which are Christian organizations aimed to provide inner city children a safe, caring environment where the development of friendships and a healthy self-esteem is nurtured. This past April, I was nominated for the 2007 City of Vancouver Youth Award recognizing individuals who have been involved and have made a positive contribution to their local community. Also, in a team with four individuals we participated in the Youth Philanthropy Initiative program and won $5,000 for a local grassroots charity called, Jacob’s Well. My hobbies include: backpacking, kayaking, snowboarding, drawing, and singing. In the future, I hope to become a marine biologist while incorporating photography and cinematography with my love of science. | | Ena - I was born in Edmonton, Alberta but I have lived Vancouver, British Columbia for the majority of my life. I am currently enrolled in grade 10 at Vancouver Technical Secondary School but I later plan to enroll myself at the University of British Columbia to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. I have taken an interest in playing the piano ever since I was 7 years old. I have received various awards, from honourable mention to gold awards, in different piano competitions and festivals in the Greater Vancouver region. I am currently in the Associateship with the Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) level of music where I am currently working hard to obtain a performer’s degree and I will later try to receive a teacher’s degree. Other than piano, I also enjoy singing, volunteering at a variety of charity events, playing recreational sports such as volleyball and badminton, and am involved in my school’s track and field team. |
