For Canada Games I hope to place top 20 in figures and in team I hope we place top 6. I also hope to meet many new people and make alot of new friends while I'm there.
My personal role model
My personal role model would be my grandmother. She has been diagonosed with cancer and still wakes up with a smile on her face every morning. She is extremly positive and doesn't let her sickness bring her down; it has only made her stronger.
Other information that could be of interest to the media
Last year, when I was in the middle of an intense training camp, I was diagonosed with epilepsy. I didn't let that slow down my training with the "why me's" I just continued as if everything was normal. I dont think this has made me a weaker athlete in any way, if anything I think it has made me stronger. I had one bad night when I cried a lot, then the next morning I got up and said to my mom, "I'm no different than I was before, I've been having seizures for a year already but didn't know what it was, now we just have a name for it, but I'm still the same person."
