|---|
| I am a grade 8 student from Hanna, Alberta. I live on a small ranch with my parents, brother and two sisters. One of my main interests is animals and I have several horses, goats, a ball python, tarantula and a fish for pets. I have been involved in 4-H for the past five years and am in horse, steer and market lamb projects this year. One of the many 4-H activities that I am interested in is public speaking which most kids hate but I actually love. I have my green belt in Tae Kwon Do and am working towards testing for my blue belt. In the winter I am involved in after school curling and I also volunteer as an assistant coach in the junior curling program. I curl competitively on a Bantam girls curling team and I am the team skip. Other interests include reading, music and outdoor activities like camping. I am a volunteer for our local Ducks Unlimited Chapter in Hanna and I’m a strong believer in wildlife conservation. In the future I would like to pursue a career in Pediatrics or Speech Therapy. I competed at CWSF last year in Winnipeg MB. |
