The day I discovered rugby, my life changed. Learning to play rugby is more than simply learning to pass the ball or memorising terminology; it is about learning to support each other, pushing through hardships for the sake of the team, and working as a collective unit. Rugby is a state of mind: believing you can and doing what you must. Playing representative rugby allowed me to share my enthusiasm for the sport with others who share the same passion. I was first encouraged to try out for the Fraser Valley team and later on, I was selected to play for Team BC. It was a unique experience playing with them instead of against them.

The last day I had with them, we spent the afternoon kayaking with our recreational leadership class; the devastating reality felt impalpable granted that they shined remarkably bright a short while ago. A few days after the accident, our field hockey team played against Princess Margaret Secondary, a game we dedicated to Chantal. The wounds were still fresh; however, as captain of the team, I felt it was my responsibility to bring us together to achieve an improbable victory. We won for Chantal. While not there in person, she was, and always will be, in our hearts. I continue to honour Chantal and Cody’s memory in the best way I can: by making the world a better place in every way possible.

Project Equal is a student-led fundraising program, created to provide aid to our local community and communities in developing nations. We do so through various fundraising projects such as bake sales, food drives, and community days. We support causes, such as autism, Make a Wish Foundation, and BC Children 's Hospital.
Project Equal is a student-led, non-profit organization we have created here at Clayton Heights. We devote our time by aiding our local community, as well as communities in developing countries, through various fundraising projects. My family comes from the Philippines, an impoverished country, and I was fortunate enough to have parents who provided me with opportunities, I aspire to provide others with the same privilege. For this reason, I have dedicated much of my time to this organization over the years: from simple tasks such as making several batches of cookies for the bake sale, to bigger roles such as leading groups through Halloween for Hunger. My aspirations include helping this organization grow and thrive. There is something genuinely uplifting about seeing the school packed with donations, lugging boxes of food that weigh more than I do, navigating through a sea of cans, and tallying thousands.
