I was born on February 25th 1998 at St Michael 's hospital in Toronto. I grew up in a part of Toronto called Bloor west village where I lived with my parents and my sister Lauren who is three years older than me. I attended Runnymede public school for both junior and senior kindergarten. My interests in my toddler years were T-ball, skiing and going to park with my best friend Carson. I learned to ski at a very young age, I was just 18 months when I first attempted to put on my sister equipment by myself but I legitimately started to ski at age 3 but later at age 5 made the switch to snowboarding. My family is and has always been a big ski family as we go to our ski chalet at beaver valley ski club every weekend of the ski season and spend every Christmas there. Beaver valley is where I started my love for skiing and snowboarding which is still a big part of my life.

I figure I will continue my education at university but I am unsure to what program or school because things always come up and my interests change but if I had to pick today I would like to go to UBC for Engineering.. For the engineer part I enjoy physics and I really like to do something where I have creativity in my work and the designing assect of engineering would allow me to do that. After visiting Vancouver I really enjoyed the city and see it as a great place to live and UBC is located right on the tip of Vancouver. Going to UBC also means being close to some very good snowboarding as Whistler is only 1 hour away and Grouse mountain and Mt seymour are a short bus ride

    Every once in awhile, my dad and I would skate on the ice for extra practice. I would always watch ice hockey on TV and I would go to the Los Angeles Kings games sometimes.

It is a bit of a rough drive for my parents to drive out to Ontario every Tuesday nights so a special thanks to them for supporting me with hockey.…

    Never in a million years would I have dreamed of making varsity as a freshman, especially for a team that had just won back-to-back state championships. Throughout middle school, I had to overcome adversity associated with being a “science nerd.” When people started to discover my academic aptitude, I was labeled a “nerd” who couldn’t be athletic. I wasn’t about to let this stereotype define me, so I strove to invalidate it. Since I joined volleyball two years after most of my peers, I was put on the “B-team” throughout junior high.…

    Up until a year ago, I was one of the most conceited people you’d ever meet. School has never been difficult for me, and when I was in middle school, I undoubtedly showed that to my classmates. If I earned a 102% on a test, I’d relentlessly question my classmates about their scores, impulsively blurt out my own score, and heartlessly cause them to hang their heads in self-disappointment. Eventually, I realized the reason I did this was because I assumed my only talents were affiliated with academics.…

    To gain insight into the life of female student athletes I interviewed a female student athlete at Wright State University. Gabrielle is a senior studying Sports Science who runs Track and Field. From my conversation with her I could see how proud she was of discipline, strong work ethic, and positive attitude. It seems that she felt as if academic and psychological resources are ample for student athletes and that the support she has found here at Wright State has made her undergraduate degree more enjoyable. Despite these positive feelings about student athletes, she expressed that she was always busy, is board with team drama, has had injuries, and is constantly exhausted.…
