| I am on my school's student council, and every year I go on a week long "field trip" with kids from grade 8 to 11. This year I am going to a youth conference. I work with kids at summer camps with my drama group "Parables" and I sing in a band. I love to read and act; I also love to get into a good debate on occasion. I plan to get a Bachelor of Science degree and then I am considering becoming either a physiotherapist or an athletic trainer. Lately I assisted in the choreography of a dance for a PE unit. I love playing volleyball. I am in Grade 7 Royal Conservatory for piano, and I adore eclectic songs, even though it drives my family crazy sometimes. My favorite type of movies are cheesy romance movies. I also enjoy laughing. As they say, laughter is the best medicine. I have won the SWIST award, the Young Science innovatro award, Best in Health Sciences award, and the Best in Exhibition for my project, Body by Inluence. |
