| Activities that I participate in vary from sports to volunteer work. I play soccer, volleyball, badminton and basketball. I love to run and am on the track and cross-country team. I volunteer by reading with elementary students and helping with their activities and sport leagues. I attend student council and social justice meetings. In my community I attend church and have sung in the junior choir for ten years and assist with Sunday school. I recently volunteered at the Oxfam South Shore for Haiti fundraising event. I enjoy volunteering at local festivals and working with children. Some of my hobbies are gardening, hiking, running, drawing, jewelry making, cross-country skiing, reading, writing, singing, music, acting, and babysitting. I have several career ideas and plan to attend university. A few of my ideas are homeopathy, teaching, acting, and writing. I have received awards in sports, academics and citizenship. I received a peace poster award, and am the 2010 Nova Scotia midget girl’s provincial champion for cross-country skiing. I had the opportunity to hear and meet Craig Kielburger, the founder of Free the Children. I am inspired by his work and hope that I too can make a positive difference in this world. |

It was concluded that a certain level of gratitude did lead to acts of kindness. |
