| My name is Nicole Herridge and I am 14 years old. I attend Pearce Junior High in Burin where I am a Grade 9 student. I am involved in choir and drama. I also play a variety of sports such as hockey, tennis, soccer and volleyball. I attend private music lessons and have been participating in the Kiwanis Music Festival every year for the last seven years. I love hanging with my friends and listening to music and I would describe myself as friendly, honest and dependable. Some of my greatest achievements to date include being selected to the AAA Bantam female hockey team for the past two years and competing at the Atlantic Championships with the same team in 2013. I have also competed in various music festivals, performed with the school drama troupe at Regional and Provincial Drama Festivals and have maintained honors in school. In Grade 7, I was a member of the student council and was named Female Athlete of the Year. |
