First flight to Canada
Our family is going to Canada. Although, it is my second time to ride a plane I am nervous as we have to fly three times to get to Yellowknife. My father’s permanent residents request has been approved so we migrated to Canada. -
School in Yellowknife
It’s my first time going to school in Yellowknife, NT. It is very challenging for me because I have to speak in English. It is not my first language so it is very difficult. -
Playground
Not all schools back home are fortunate to have fully utilized parks/playgrounds. I was so excited to see that they are in this country. Most importantly, they are free. -
Double layer clothes
Because of the cold weather in Yellowknife, we have to wear double layer clothes. My mom often calls us astronauts because of these clothes. It helps to warm us up. -
Snow
It is my dream to see snow as the country where I have been is so very hot especially during Summer. It is my first time to see raining snowflakes. I am so amazed and happy. -
Lake Fishing
I love fishing and we were not given a chance to do this in the Philippines. So when we got here in Canada, my dad bought a fishing rod for each of my brothers and we finally did it. It is so fun and enjoyable. -
Learning French
My first time learning French was very hard. I can barely talk. But, I find it cool to be able to speak French. -
Football
Our sport back home is basketball. But here, it appears to be football. Although I do not know how to play it, it is fun to learn the sport. -
Northern Lights (Borealis)
Northern Lights (Borealis) is very popular and I also dreamt of seeing it. One late night in Yellowknife, my parents' friends call us and say there is one showing near their terrace. I love the beautiful colors. -
Online Learning
It is my first time doing online learning. I find it very convenient, but hard at the same time because teaching is impersonal. Also, I cannot make friends with my classmates.
