About Myself
In the very beginning i was born right here in beautiful B.C. and in fact I was born right here in this city of Victoria. I was born on February 3rd 1996, which if you did not know at the time Victoria was being hit with one of the worst storms that had hit Victoria ever. I've lived in Victoria for almost my whole life with my brother Evan, my sister Megan and both my parents. I also have a small dog named charlie. Originally my mother is from Wales, in the United Kingdom, when at about the age of ten she moved with her mother and sister, now my grandma and aunt, to Canada and actually near here, in Sydney B.C. My Father is origanlly from Vancouver and has lived there with his two brothers, Greg and Jim, mother and father for the majority of his life. When my dad was about 20 years of age he moved to Victoria. As you know at the same time my mother was living in Sydney and by chance they both were in the same journalism class at UVIC. After a few years of seing each other my mom and dad both moved into a house in the Gordon Head area, so that my brother, sister and me could go to Campus View. After going to Campus View elementary from K-1 I left to go to school at Torqauy elementary with my best friend. I went to Torqauy for four years and met some great people there, and also discovered a passion for a higher level of learning at Torqauy which i would go on to pursue in my later years. After those four years I left Torqauy and made the jump into middle school at Gordon Head Middle school where I would stay at up until grade eight. While i was attending Gordon Head and throughout my life most of my free time was either spent with friends or playing sports. I play soccer and basketball currently and use to play hockey and lacrosse aswel l. Up until recently i had lived in Canada for my whole life but that changed in my final year of middle school, I left to live in Wales for six months so i could support my brother who had aspirations to be a proffensional soccer player. Meanwhile my sister was taking a social sciences course at Carelton University in the capital of Canada, Ottowa. Although she was in Brisbane, Australia for a year as part of the cericulum in the course she was taking. MY experience in Wales was fantastic i found it a great learning experience and an oppertunity to endulge myself in foreign cultures which i took with open arms. So all in all i feel as if i have had a very exciting and quite fascinating life and look forward to telling you more.
