I've been a artist since I was 12 year old. I would draw characters that we either comforting/pleasing to me or very well known withing my friend group. My drawing has improved since then and It's been very fun drawing and talking to different artist as well.

My writing started when I was 7 years old. I would write song lyrics and even tiny poems at first, though I would say that it has build into something way more than just lyrics.

In grade 10, term 1 I wrote a poem for International Coming Out Day (relating to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community).

At first I would've never expected it to be much but now I'm scheduled to be competing with Ontario.

I find that to be a really great accomplishment.

With my writing I was asked to publicly share my arts and talents with audiences.

I was at first really nervous, though when I started to repeatedly do it my nervousness wasn't a factor of the public speaking.

I started from Chayil Church to Nursing Homes and now I'm presenting in Medowvale to the Black Student Body the 23rd of November.

In conclusion, my hobbies have built me into who I am today.
