Born
It was on this day that I was born. -
Started schooling
It was at a montessori daycare, called "Little Roses", back in East York. It was there that I started learning general stuff about schooling. -
Met my lifelong friend
(Date approximate) I met Nicholas, a lifelong friend that to this day I still have. We've gone through life together for the most part, despite him moving to Markham in around 2002. I learned a lot about the social side of life through him, as did he through me. He has influenced my life greatly. Through his sister, Olivia, I also learned a lot about social life. -
Started playing baseball in a league
It was the first time that I was involved in any organized team sports; I learned cooperation and teamwork skills there. -
First day of school (Kindergarten)
I started Kindergarten in SK, because I had decided to stay in the Montessori daycare through JK. I was in it at Selwyn Public School. -
First time being away from family for an extended duration
I had gone to summer camp for two weeks at Camp CanAqua. It was the first time that I had gone away from my family for longer than a day or so. It was an interesting experience to see how it is being away from family. -
Started in the Gifted Program in school
It was then that I began my journey through the Gifted program in school, in grade 4 at Selwyn Public School. It was because of this that I am where I am today; without this happening, the course of my life would be greatly different. -
Had my tonsils removed
It was the first surgery that I could actually learn from, as any previous I had were when I was a baby. It taught me what it's like to have something like this done, and how it is to be limited as to what I can do. -
Got Chase, the cat we currently have.
It was when my dad had a shoulder surgery, to compensate for the pain in a way. We had lost our old cat a year or two prior. She has given me something to look after, and a companion as well in a sense. -
First time being home alone
(Date is approximate) It was the first time I ever had to care for myself, and was completely alone in the house for more than a minute. -
First day of Middle School
In my old area back in East York, Kindergarten to grade 5 is Elementary School, and 6-8 is middle school. I started middle school at G.A. Brown Middle School. -
Started tutoring.
It was one of the first experiences I had where I was actually making a difference in the lives of some of my peers. This went on until we moved to Stouffville. -
Got my gecko, Fluffy.
She was a birthday gift from my parents to me. Similar to my cat, she caused me to experience what it's like to have to look after something, and taught me more of what it is to have something relying on you. -
Moved to Stouffville from East York.
It was then that we moved from East York to Stouffville, causing me to have all new experiences in an unknown area. -
Loss of first close family member
My grandfather on my mother's side passed away on this day. It was the first time that I had experienced what it truly feels to have lost something. -
Began High School
On this day, I began to attend High School at Markville SS. It was a major transition from Public School. -
First major public performance
Through the Markville music program, we had to perform at the Markville Theatre. It was the first time that I had to perform something professionally in front of a large crowd. -
First time travelling alone
It was then that I learned what it's like to have to travel alone, something that I likely will have to do many times throughout my life. -
Plan to get my driver's license, or at least progress towards it
It is a normal thing for 16-year olds to either have, or strive towards obtaining their lisence. It's a common rite of passage that I'd much rather not miss out on. -
Plan to pass grade 10
(Date approximate) I plan to pass grade 10 this year, with grades at least as good as last year, if not better. If I don't achieve this goal, I have no chance at attaining any future goals. -
Plan to get a job
By this date, I hope I get some kind of job, so that I can have some work experience before graduating high school. It is important to have as much experience as possible when going into University so that I can be as prepared as possible. -
Plan to achieve all my volunteering hours required to graduate.
By this date, I hope to have achieved all volunteering hours that are needed to graduate from high school. I'd like to achieve it by then so that if anything comes up after then, I can do it without having something more to worry about. -
Plan to graduate high school
It's around this date that my senior year ends, and my main goal for now is to graduate then.
