1. This picture was taken in the courts at Old City Hall when I was
participating in an OJEN (Ontario Justice Education Network)
competition. My school competed against others in a “mock
trial”. I ended up winning an award for best defence lawyer
from OJEN.

2. An accomplishment I‟m proud of is participating in
Toronto‟s Santa Claus Parade for 11 years in a row. As a
volunteer, they assign me a costume and I walk the
parade route. Last year I was the „Ice Queen‟. Although
if can be a lot of work, it‟s worth making the kids smile
when they think I‟m a real princess.

3. The one thing that got me through high school was
playing football. I knew that I had to go to class or I
couldn‟t play in the games. This picture was taken right
after our first win. The girls on the team and I worked
really hard. Practiced before and after school. When
we won we were so proud of each other.

4. This is a picture of the first piano exam I ever did for the Royal
Conservatory of Music. I didn‟t think I would be able to get
through the entire exam being critiqued about my every
move. After the exam, I received my certificate in the mail a
couple of weeks later only to discover I had passed with First
Class Honours.

5. Although I have been playing piano for many years, I still get
very nervous playing in front of people. I volunteer in the
Neurology department at Sunnybrook Hospital when I have
time and sometimes help them organize events. This picture
was taken at their Christmas party when they convinced me
to play a song. Although I had terrible stage fright, I made it
through the song and everyone applauded.
