Today in Planning class, we started looking at what we want to do when we get out of school. I have been thinking of this a lot lately! I have a few ideas.
1. Author- Ever since i was little, I have loved to write stories. They have to be funny stories! When I was in Grade 6, my best friend Grace Brulotte and I wrote a book together. It was about two bunnies that got stuck in Hawaii. This was based on a true story. My family and I went to Hawaii one year and our flight time got messed up. We got to stay in Hawaii for 5 more days! Lucky us! When I got back home my best friend Grace met an author Bonita Forsyth that helped us write a book based on the trip to Maui. I wrote and Grace drew the pictures. It was a lot of work but it sure was fun! I love writing in English! Writing stories has always been a favorite hobby of mine so I definitely might look to it as a career in the future
2. Reporter- Last year, Grace and I also got to go to the Paralympics to be reporters. It was amazing! We got so many once in a lifetime opportunities. Two magical weeks for sure! While I was there I got to report on what people thought of the games. I really like reporting and getting to know people! When I came home, I got in touch with Dave Lazzerino from our local newspaper, Valley Echo, and he helped me go further with reporting. I interviewed Many Osborne, an Olympic skier. He was such a nice guy! it was a joy to talk to him! in school, we have a club called Free Press. Ive written a few articles so far. The more i report, the more i love it!
3. Work with Special needs- Ever since I was little, Ive had aids help me with school! I get so inspired by them. I love what they do! I would love to work with little kids with special needs. Maybe do a summer or out of school program like one of my aids does with me. I would love to be part of meetings about how kids are doing and how to help them succeed! I'm not sure physically how that would work. I have trouble walking so I will see how much I can do to help little kids. I am determined to do anything I want to do for an enjoyable career for me!
4. Work with Cannasist- Cannasist is a group of people that make different contraptions for kids with Special needs! They work out of University of Victoria, where I really want to go to school! I met a few people from Cannasist when I went to Ottawa to do some public speaking. i loved being with them! They are wonderful people! I would love to come to work each day with them. I'm not sure if i will with the actual building of different contraptions. I might just go see the disabled person and talk about their needs and think of something that could help make their life easier. I love coming up with those kind of ideas. Making someones life easier is can always make you feel better.
5. Motivational Speaker- I love making people feel better, and push them to have a positive attitude. I've done some public speaking before and I love it! I do have a little speech impairment. Sometimes its hard for people to understand what I am saying. However, If i really want to do this, that's just something i need to work at!
Whatever I choose to do in the future, i don't want to think too much about it! i want to enjoy life, do well in school, and take it one day at a time. If you don't do that you miss stuff you wish you did not. Every day has new adventures and you cant miss them. All I want to do is live my life... one day at a time!
