| My name is Alyson Bell. I enjoy school sports teams and out of school sports. I play Rugby, Volleyball, Lacrosse and I golf as well. I also enjoy school, although I do have to try really hard for my marks, but still enjoy seeing my friends everyday. I play the guitar with my friends, and I also play the drums and the piano. I really enjoy camping and building brush shelters and doing outdoor activities by myself. I spend alot of time in my back woods. After highschool I would like to travel for a year and then attend Lakehead University. I would like to study environmental sciences at Lakehead University. I'm not sure what I would like to do after university. Possibly become an outdoor ed teacher or work at a wilderness survival camp. Anything to do with the outdoors or science is where i want to be. I really don't want to work in an office environment, I think I would go insane. My future will hopefully be bright and happy! |
