2. This photo is my diploma that I received after
graduating from Mary Ward Catholic Secondary
School. A centre for self directed learning. It
took me four years of learning how to prioritize
and how to handle time management. It was a
school where most of my friends had to leave
due to the independent study curriculum and I
felt very accomplished knowing that I was able
to graduate from this school.

4. This photo is proof of being a licensed driver for
officially a year now. It has taught me to become
more independent towards the responsibilities
that I have for myself and my family. It has
taught me to stand on my own and to stop
depending on my parents to be there every step
of the way. Gaining a license helped me to
become a more self-reliant woman.

6. This picture shows my first ever job as a cashier
at metro. It helped me become more social
towards new people. It taught me to think on
my feet and how to handle the various
situations that occur during my shifts. It has
given me experience in the work life and made
me become less reliant on my parents. It taught
me the lessons about money on how to spend
wisely because money does not grow from
trees.

8. The medals in this photo show my achievements
that I accomplished in high school. The medals
represent the dance competitions that my
dance team participated in. It is a huge
accomplishment during my days in high school
because it taught me how to work well in a
team, contribute my own ideas and become a
better person in general. Dancing with my high
school team has taught me to become a better
person, to be a team player, and to stay humble
in everything that I do.

10. This ribbon is an accomplishment I achieved in
elementary school. As an active student, I had
managed to win first place in my schools cross
country running club. Being a small girl, no one
had expected me to win first place. This was the
first time that I believed in the saying that big
things come in small packages. I was able to
achieve something greater than I ever thought I
would which made me extremely proud of what
I accomplished. This ribbon exemplifies a proud
milestone in my life that I will never forget.
