  • First Day of Kindergarten

    First Day of Kindergarten
    Full of fear and tears as I started with my childhood best friend, Holly, and met the teacher who ended up being my favorite elementary teacher. This was a day to a whole new beginning, one where my learning and friendships all began, if I didn't start here I wouldn't be where I am today.
  • Splitting apart

    A roller coaster of feelings went through me as I walked through the Port High doors for the first time as a student.
  • Moving out

    Moving out
    A hard time for me to go through but one that was totally worth it. Moving out to go live with my dad and step-mom in Welland was something that took a tole on me and something I did not expect. I have had to change my lifestyle in many different ways to accommodate the distance between my house and school, work and friends.
  • Grade Eleven Year

    Grade Eleven Year
    This was a year which taught me great things, I figured out who I was and who my real friends were. I learnt how to go about many different situations, and how important being the bigger person and making myself safe and happy really was, all thanks to one teacher. This year helped shape me into who I am today.
  • Getting accepted to University and College

    Getting accepted to University and College
    After applying to three Colleges and four Universities I was both nervous and anxious to hear back from them. Up to this day I have received acceptances from my top schools and it now comes down to making a decision. When this all occurred it made me realize how fast time was going and how much was going to change.
  • Graduating

    Graduating
    Graduating grade twelve is a day I thought would be a long time coming, these four years flew by and I am thankful for all the great people I have met and all the great lessons I have learnt. I am going to miss Port High and everything that comes with it, the teachers, students and extra curricular's but I am ready to move on and close this chapter of my life.

    Becoming a Paramedic
    As I lean towards going to college for a year of Pre-Health, and then taking a two year Paramedic program, I plan to graduate and earn a job as a Paramedic. I want to make a difference in peoples lives and my dream job has always been to be a Paramedic.
