My experience at Balfour Collegiate in Regina, Saskatchewan began much like others. In grade nine I wanted nothing more but to be accepted. I was sincerely lucky in the case that Balfour was one of the smaller schools in Regina, so within time I found my place. How I found my place was involving myself. At the grade nine open house almost every other student stressed, “Get involved! It’s the best way meet people and find your place!” This statement was so true. I never particularly new who I was…

Every morning in grade eight, I would wake and throw on my white blouse, my rainbow plaid skirt, my matching plaid tie, my green knee high socks and my black leather shoes and go off to school. I wasn’t a good student throughout elementary school, I had breezed by at the bottom of my class. My grade eight English teacher even told my parents and I that I was going to fail high school English if nothing changed by next year. While everyone was studying with their SSAT tutors and stressing over…

I have always been a high achiever, someone who wants to do well in what they do. I was homeschooled from first through eighth grade, and so I taught myself quite frequently. However, as I grew older, I began to think about college, and about where I will be by then. This led to thinking about if I will possess enough knowledge about both simple school related things, and dealing with a school setting. I had never had to sit through classes, or deal with the unique social setting of school.…

ome of my greatest memories were of my learning in school. At the end of my second grade year, I was in a school bus accident. When I got to the hospital they said a had a head concoction, and needed to stay for testing to see how bad it was. I went to school with the ability to learn like all the other student, but came home with a long path to relearning all my school functions. My struggle through learning has been a lifelong process, through multiple programs, lots of encouragement, and a…

Lessons Learn In life I have faced many disappointments and downfalls in which I have learned many important lessons over the years. Yes, indeed it hurts and makes you very upset and want to not trust in someone never again because of something a person done to you before and you feel as if the next person is going to do the same thing towards you as they did. I have many disappointments in life that I have face but they only made me a stronger and wiser young lady even though when it had…

the house when I needed to be out of the house. Then I found something that turned my life around 180 degrees. Here’s my story. I was born in the US. Then left to go to Ecuador (my parent’s native country) to learn Spanish. I came back for eighth grade in Middle School. To understand who I am now I must explain who I was at the beginning. I came back to the U.S. as a shy, very introversive person who kept it all to himself. I did not like the way I was. I did not like that about…
