Grade: 11
School: Sir Wilfrid Laurier CI

Likes and dislikes:
I love my PEPiiNO, pomegranates, making up silly songs with my family, writing poems & trying different foods. I also like when I can laugh and be myself with someone! I really dislike pickles, the smell of coffee, making decisions under stress, and when people don't keep their word.

Favourite activities:
Sports, singing, sleeping, standing in front of a wide open fridge staring at all the food, and hanging with the fam-o-lay!

What girl !mpact has meant to me so far: This girl !mpact experience has honestly been the most exciting thing to look forward to and to take part in. Everyone involved is oh so friendly, been behind me 100, and is there to guide me each step of the way. I would never have imagined myself even attempt to trek Mt. Kilimanjaro, but with the help of my mentor, family, friends, other G!s, and people donating their time and money, I now believe anything is possible. Many people who have climbed this mountain in the past have told me that this will be such a good experience and I will gain so much knowledge, and I can't wait to see a new country, new people, and new cultures first hand. The time spent with the other girls has brought us all so close, as if we have known each other for years. I feel this is a great advantage to have considering we will have to put up with each other for 2 weeks. This is a great project, and I hope others will have an opportunity to enjoy it just as I did.
