| My name is Alec Busby and I am an eleventh grader hailing from the northwestern village of Hazelton, British Columbia. I am part of the Cross country running team at said school, and participate in a fun badminton club once a week. I enjoy reading, being witty and generally just conversing in an intellegent manner. Our family has a team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs and I enjoy dogsledding in the winter, and caring for them in the summer. I would like to attend the University of Northern British Columbia after I graduate, and pursue a career in business. |
