A hero is born
I'm born in Vancouver at St. Paul's Hospital. Apparently, I weighed over 10 pounds and I was a pretty tall baby too!! My parents say that around 2 months after I was born, a woman on the street thought that I was 2 YEARS old!! Funny story! -
Move to Yukon
5 months after I was born, my parents found work at a mine in Yukon! This was a big step because my parents had been working lower class jobs, even though they had graduated from university in Serbia. -
Back to Yukon!
My parents are offered a job at another mine in Yukon! Only 2 months have passed since moving to Edmonton, and we leave the day after my first birthday! -
Move to Edmonton
We moved to Edmonton because the mine my parents had been working at had shut all operations down. They searched for employment in Edmonton. -
Move to Calgary
Again, the mine in Yukon shut down operations and, again, my parents move us to find new work. This time, we moved to Calgary. -
Move to Fort McMurray
My parents find jobs at the oil sands in Fort McMurray. Here, my father works as a mining engineer at the oil sands, and my mother works at a consulting company which works with different mines. -
Move to Edmonton
We move back to Edmonton, and now both of my parents have stable office jobs in the mining industry. This is our last stop before moving to Vancouver 5 years later. -
First day of Kindergarten
After attending pre-school in Fort McMurray, I'm finally ready to join Kindergarten at a school called Brander Gardens -
Visit Serbia
This was the first time that I went to Serbia after I was born. My aunt on my father's side was having a wedding. It was nice! -
Go to Tempo Private School
I move to Tempo School in grade 4. -
Go to Chartwell Elementary
This was the elementary school I attended after moving from Edmonton. -
Join West Van Otters Swim Club
I joined the West Van swim club. Little did I know, this club would become a big part in my life -
Visit Serbia
I went to Serbia to visit my family by myself. I spent two months over there, and I visited many surrounding countries! -
Go to Collingwood
I graduated from Chartwell Elementary, and I attended Collingwood School for the next 2 years. -
