Born in Burlington, ON
I shared the same birthday with my grandfather and uncle, so July 25th is a pretty special day in my family. Lots of celebrations! -
Baptism into the Catholic Church
On my fathers side of the family this is a value they hold very deeply, so my parents made the decision to include me in the cultural world of the catholic church. -
First Day of School
The first day of grade 1 is something that is very significant to me, as it introduced me to a whole new setting of norms and folkways of different age groups, and it helped me shift my development as I grew accordingly -
Getting my Dog
My dog, Bentley, is the light of my life. Pets are seen as taboo in my family, so when I was able to convince my parents to let me get and keep him, I was incredibly happy. -
Starting Thomas Merton
When I stopped going to highschool, I felt ashamed to talk about it because of how highschool dropouts are perceived by the pubic, being shunned. Thomas Merton, to me, is a second chance, a fresh start, and my path to self-acceptance.
