High School GraduationThis picture was taken of me following the conclusion of my grade 12 graduation ceremony. Completing high school felt like my first real stepping stone to success and fulfillment in life. High school made me a more independent, mature individual, ultimately preparing me for college.

18th BirthdayThis picture was taken during my 18th birthday party (and my brother’s 20th). Turning 18 was significant for me because of my transition into pursuing post-secondary goals and ambitions.

Darien LakeThis picture was taken at Six Flags Darien Lake. My family would go camping every summer when my brother and I were younger. These are some of my fondest memories to this day. I had an enriched childhood because of all the family interaction in our camping trips. My constant support from friends and family growing up has molded me into the person I am today.

Celebrating with a Close FriendThis is a picture of me and one of my closest friends, Benci. We were celebrating his father’s retirement, along with his sister’s university graduation. This event was important to me because it made me further realize how detrimental friends are. I have supportive, knowledgeable, and sincere friends that influence my life greatly, and in a positive way.

GrandmotherMy grandmother has nurtured me since I was a baby. My parents were always working, so a huge portion of my childhood revolved around her. My grandmother is a virtuous woman who has taught me a plethora of life lessons while growing up. My grandmother is the reason I strive for success in school and work.
