𝓖𝓻𝓮𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼 𝓪𝓵𝓵,

My full name is Norma Leaticia Sera Josep though everyone calls me Tish. My family and I immigrated to Canada in 2019 & since then I have dreamt of attending Brookes Westshore. Unfortunately, my application was delayed due to COVID-19 postponing my move to Brookes. I officially began attending Brookes Westshore in September 2022. My main interests fall into 3 sectors, Medicine, Literature, and the visual & performing Arts. Considering these main interests, my top goal throughout the next few years is to attend Oxford University and acquire a PhD. A few of my many hobbies include reading & writing, musical theatre, playing bass guitar, acting, fashion design, cooking, oil painting, vinyl record collecting and calligraphy. In terms of work, I am an actress and often travel to Vancouver for auditions.

As a reader, I often gravitate towards classic literature, poetry, and modern politics. I would describe myself as a novel fanatic though frequently feel as if there is never enough time to read as much as I would prefer to. I truly believe that knowledge is best absorbed through reading therefore in many instances find myself searching for more topics to learn about. Namely, I search for novels on the topics of world issues, moral philosophy, and psychology. During my free time, I take great pleasure in walking to bookstores and antique stores to collect old leather-bound novels, some even written in old English.

I am immensely devoted to my daily journaling detailing the inner workings of my daily life. As a personal project this year I intend to write and publish my own novel. With the topic of this novel unbeknownst to even myself, I have spent the latter of my days rummaging my mind for a feasible topic. The possibilities for this undertaking are endless, with my mind filled with ideas all the way from the life of an immigrant all the way to the specifics of affirmative action. Depending on my two main writing styles I can either venture through a more analytical research piece or a much more personal and poignant story. Despite the differing writing styles, I am more inclined to write in a creative and imaginative way as there are not many opportunities to do so in the academic realm.
