My Birth
I was born at the Grand River Hospital in Kitchener. My birth was a scary thing for my parents, when I was born I did not cry because my rib puncured a hole in my lung and I could not breath. I was rushed off with the doctors to be put in an incubator. After my lung healed over I was as healthy as can be! -Physical Development -

Julia's Timeline
My name is Julia Costa. I am seventeen years old and will be turning eighteen at the end of November. This timeline will show the milestone moments throughout my life as well as a few milestones I hope to achieve in the future. -
Baptism
When I was younger I was Baptised. I would consider this a milestone in my life because my family is catholic and it was something all my cousins and I had done. -Social Development -
First day of School
Before I was even in school I always wanted to go with my sister on the school bus, I would wear my backpack and wait for the bus with her but when she got on my mom and I walked back to the house. Once it came time for me to go to school I didn't want to leave my mom for the day. -Intellectual/Social Development -
Started Figure Skating
Figure Skating is a huge milestone in my life. Ever since I started my life has always been about being on the ice. It came with it's challenges that made you put all your effort into completing it that it made you so satisfied with yourself. When I'm on the ice I forget all about life's problems and enjoy the peace. -Social/Physical Development -
Family Dog Passed Away
This was one of the saddest moments in my life, I have honestly never seen everyone in my family so upset before. Our family dog was named Kasey and we had to put her down as she had gotten cancer. My family hasn't gotten a pet since because we don't want to have to go through a moment like that again. -Emotional Development -
Got First Cell Phone
For Christmas in Grade 8 I had gotten a cell phone. This was such an exciting moment as I had wanted one forever. I had convinced my parents that I needed it to contact them whenever I went somewhere with my friends after school. I felt like I was the coolest person when I went back to school after the break. -Social Development -
Middle School Graduation
Middle School was a struggle for me as I went into the school not knowing a soul. I had to make friends which is something I am not good at. By the end of the journey I had joined into a small group and had a blast. -Social/Intellectual Development -
Trip to Israel
My family, my grandparents and my cousin's family had all planned a trip to Israel. We went for 2 weeks and went everywhere and I had never been so hot before in my life. It was a great bonding experience and we even got to ride some camels. -Social Development -
Got a Job - Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest is my favourite time of year and I have the best job in the world when the time comes. Every year I work as a parking attendent at Concordia Club with all my family friends and we have so much fun. -Social/Intellectual Development -
Ski Trip to Mount Tremblant (Quebec)
Skiing is a big part of my life since I have been doing it since I was 6. Skiing makes me feel so calm yet so full of adrenaline. My family and our friends made a trip to Quebec for a long weekend and skiing for 3 days. I had never been so tired before in my life but it was all worth it. -Physical/Emotional Development -
Quit Figure Skating
This was again one of the saddest moments of my life. Skating means so much to me and to have it out of my life is heartbreaking. In the end I had to quit because I wasn't improving enough and it costed too much. I miss it everyday. -Emotional Development -
Trip to Portugal
My family and I went on a trip to Portugal for a week. My dad and grandparents were born in Portugal and lived there for a portion of their lives before moving to Canada. It was very interesting to go to my dad's homeland to see where he used to live and experience a culture that I'm not used to everyday. -Social/Emotional Development -
Learned to Surf
While my family and I were in Portugal we decided to take a day off from touring and went to the beach to learn how to surf. Surfing was probably the most fun experience I have every done. I would definietly do it again when I get the chance. -Physical Development -
Job as a Ski Instructor
Because I am so into skiing I decided I would make some money out of it. I had to pass my Level 1 Instructors course to become certified. Once I completed the course my friend and I had the luxury of skiing for free and teaching cute little kids. -Physical/Social/Intellectual Development -
Trip to Quebec City
My friends and I for March Break when on a trip with S-Trip to Quebec City. There were about 50 people from our school going on the trip and we had so much fun getting away from parents and being free within the streets of Quebec. I would do it again in a heartbeat. -Social/Emotional Development -
Got a Job - Tim Hortons
I finally got myself my first job where it is not a seasonal one. I got a job at Tim Hortons with my one of my best friends and we have nothing but fun. There are also a lot of people from my school that work there. I have learned a lot from working there and have enjoyed my time so far. -Intellectual/Social Development -
Won M.I.P Award
At the Athletic Banquet that is held at my school every year I won an award for Field Hockey for the Most Improved Player. I had never played field hockey before that year and to win an award for it was just incredible. It is now one of my most favourite sports. -Physical/Emotional Development -
Got My License
One year ago I passed my driving test and earned my G2! Achieving this has given me a great sense of freedom and has taught me responsibility by remembering to fill up the gas tank, drive my cousins places and pick up my drunk sister at the bar. I don't know what I would do if I didn't pass my test. -Intellectual/Emotional Development -
Prom
Prom happened at the end of my grade twelve year and was one of the best experiences of my life. At prom I was surprisingly nominated as the Prom Queen, I doubted that anyone would vote for me but when it was time to announce the winner I had won! I felt very loved to be voted for by my close friends and by some people I rarely talked to! It was so fun to see everyone having a good time before we would be parting ways for school in the fall. -Emotional/Social Development -
High School Graduation
My high school graduation will become a big milestone in my life as it marks the time were I will become independent of my life and move forwards with my future decisions. I plan on travelling the world before starting college to become an interior designer. -Intellectual/Emotional/Physical Development
