and as the story goes, was deemed to set the example for my yonger
sisters. my parents raised me to learn the value of working hard
for something and enjoying what you do at the same time. I found
that with this instilled in me, i wanted to try, learn and do
everything. From ice skating, ballet, soccer, basketball, piano,
swimming i found myself trying new things, making new friends
and constantly meeting new people. I was shy as a child, but my
ability to join interest groups in school and participate in extra
cirricular activities enabled me to become the outgoing person
that i am today.

a swimming instructor for the alberta school for the deaf. to
learn to communicate with the actions of my body was challenging
and required a lot of patience both for the children and myself.
it was definitely a memorable experience as i ended up learning
just as much as the students learned during the time that i had
taught them.

Friends volunteer at Stollery Childrens Hospital, Wisest Volunteer
University of Alberta, University of Alberta Orientation, Junior
High School Girls basketball coaching, Grandview capital care
seniors residence.

it feels as though a small piece of france is right in the middle
of Canada. I enjoyed taking in the culture of French - Canadians
and learning about the customs and traditions of the people living
there. I also enjoyed learning the French language, so now i can
take a little bit of Montreal with me wherever I go.

different from the other contestants?
