My father is from Fisher River Cree Nation and my mother is from Peguis First Nation. Although I am a Peguis Band Member, I live and go to school in Fisher River. I enjoy reading chapter books about non-fiction, especially fantasy and listening to music. Most of all I love doing projects for science fair. I plan on going to university and becoming an astronomer. I have won many awards for my science fair projects. I have competed in our school fair and went on to attend at the Manitoba First Nations Science Fair (MFNSF), Manitoba Schools Science Symposium (MSSS) and Youth Encouraging Sustainability (YES) Showcase. Our interest in this project started last year, and we continued to improve it this year, by determining if a wind turbine is feasible for our Community. We plan on continuing with our project, but determining other sustainable resources for our community. Take the time to read and learn about different things. Even if they don’t seem interesting, find something that is. You will learn alot. |
