Month: September 2025

Introductions

I’m Luciana and  I was born on June 4, 2010 in Mexico City, but I moved to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon when I was one years old and that’s where I lived since except for when I studied a semester in Houston when I was nine because my dad got to work on a project at Rice University. My family consists of my mom, dad, younger sister, and my Persa cat Simon..

The two main things I like to do right now are going to the gym and shopping  but I have done a lot of things in the course of my life like many different types of dance, aerial silks, pilates yoga and intense pilates, singing,drawing, etc. But I currently want to do something more than the gym, and if I could only choose one activity out of all the ASA’S it would definitely be Tennis. 

Of course there’s a lot more things I like to do like travelling! And honestly, every single trip I have done with my family has been so so memorable. My favorite trip by far was to Europe. There were some destinations that we took by plane like Spain and London of course, which actually was my dream place to study abroad at, but some of the other destinations I went to we arrived by cruise like Dubrovnik, Croatia which was by favorite, and honestly, I know it’s very fun to go to other ‘’bigger’’ destinations but the experience and the friends that I made at the cruise I would not change for anything. This trip has been the most memorable by far because I had never been so close to my dad before and after that trip I see my dad as that best friend I always wanted to find in my life.

PW #1 – Music

I have been listening to music for a long time, and lately I’ve been reflecting on how music affects me and how much it matters to me. I’ve met people who just casually don’t listen to music very often and it’s just crazy to me because I couldn’t imagine a life without music. Whether it was when I used to listen to random songs of different genres with no real theme or now when I’ve been listening to mainly rap or hip hop music. Music is a way to express yourself, and I feel like music has such a power on your emotions and how you feel and it can change your emotions very quickly. Like i could be having a very good day and be in a good mood and then suddenly a sad song comes on and the whole good day and good mood suddenly disappears. Vice versa as well, you could be having. bad day and not be in a good mood, and suddenly and upbeat classic song that you haven’t heard in a couple years comes on, and your mood completely improves. Like I use music even more than I think I do, when I’m cleaning the kitchen, doing homework, walking my dog, or just everywhere during the school day in general. Then when I talk to some people and they just casually say “yea I don’t listen to music much”, it’s just crazy to me because it is such a big part of my life.

How does your family celebrate Christmas?

During Christmas time my family of 4 changes between families every year. So for example, this year i’ll spend christmas with my mother’s side of the family and new year’s with my dad’s side of the family. But how does my family and I celebrate Christmas? Well this year for example, around 4pm I go to my mother’s side of the family aunt’s house (sister of my grandpa) and everyone is there. I have lots of cousins because my grandpa has 6 siblings and all of them have children so imagine how full that house gets. The hanging spots are the garage that is full of delicious food and the living room/ bar. Being inside that house is so incredibly nostalgic because every Christmas the house has that same cozy Christmas smell. Something that also gives me that nostalgic feel is the fact that my grandpa( who’s birthday is December 24) always arrives late so that when he enters everybody gets excited and wishes him a happy birthday. Later around 7pm, my family including my mom’s sister, my 2 cousins and my grandpa leave to my house to celebrate Christmas with my grandma. When we arrive at my house, we unpack  dinner and serve potato chips in a bowl for everyone to enjoy. While some of us help with dinner, my dad is always talking with my grandpa. After we have dinner, with Christmas music in the background of course, we all head down to the living room and play some games (which somehow I always end up winning). And at last we all open presents and spend the rest of the night talking all together. And that is how I spend my favorite holiday with my mom’s side of the family.

My Trip to Alberta

About three weeks ago, I went to Alberta, and it was one of the best trips of my life. I stayed there for about four days, and it was super fun because I got to see my family. I hadn’t seen my cousins in a very long time, so it was really exciting.

On the first day, I arrived in Edmonton. We went to a couple of my family’s houses, and later, all of my cousins and I went out to eat. We ended up having pizza, which was really good. After we ate, we played video games for a bit. Later that evening, the whole family went for a drive to see downtown Edmonton. It was a cool experience. As soon as we got home, we went to bed because we had a big day planned for tomorrow.

The next day, we went to Banff, which is in Calgary. Banff is one of the most beautiful places in Canada. When I arrived, we went straight to the lake. The water was so beautiful—it had a green and bluish color that looked amazing. We stayed the night in Banff in a big house.

The next day was even more fun! We went to a place with another lake, a grassy field, and a playground. They also had spots where you could play sports like soccer and volleyball. We played for a long time and then made dinner on the barbecue. There were about 50 to 60 people there, and most of the kids were around my age. We all had a great time together.

That night, we went to my cousin’s house. We talked, played some board games, and planned what we were going to do for the next few days. For the rest of the trip, we mostly repeated the fun stuff we had already done—hanging out, playing games, exploring, and eating good food.

That’s how I would describe one of the funniest and most fun trips I’ve ever had in my entire life.

I believe that being healthy is more important than being wealthy. Many people think wealth can solve many problems, but even being the richest person in the world cannot guarantee good health. Money can pay for the best hospitals, doctors, and medicine, but it doesn’t always cure illnesses. Health is also connected to time, and time is something that no one can buy. Even if a wealthy person has only a few months left to live, their money cannot give them more time. Just by being healthy you can do more things in life. Without health, sometimes even the simplest activities like eating, and walking can be difficult. In that case being wealthy doesn’t really help. Wealth can provide better things, but it cannot give life. That is why often people say, “Health is wealth,” Health can lead to more success in life than wealth. Between a healthy person who is happy and a wealthy person who is depressed, I would always choose to be healthy. To conclude, while wealth can be useful in life, it is nothing without health. Health is something that gives you your basic daily life. That is why being healthy is more important than being wealthy.

PW #1 – My New Life Abroad

Moving to another country sounded exciting, but at the same time it felt scary. Before coming to Canada I wondered if I could manage everything on my own. Would I find good friends? Would I understand the teachers? Would I feel comfortable in a new place far away from home? All those questions stayed in my mind the first weeks.

Now, after some time here, things look very different. I discovered that I can actually take care of myself better than I thought. I learned how to do laundry without destroying my clothes, and I can prepare easy meals when I don’t feel like eating outside. Sometimes I still eat too many cereals or fast food, but at least I try to balance with fruit and some vegetables.

The best part is the people I have met. I did not expect to connect so fast, but little by little I made friends, and now we usually go for walks, study together, or just talk in English. This helps me improve my language every day. At first it was difficult, but now I can follow the lessons almost without problems.

Of course, I still miss my family. My sister Daniela is in Vancouver, my brother is in Mérida, and I am here in Victoria. But even if we are far apart, we stay in contact and plan to meet in winter here in Canada. I feel proud of myself for adapting and enjoying this new adventure.

What is the best thing you’ve done this year? Why?

During this year I don’t know what was the best thing, however there are two things that I liked the most. The first one was my ski trip during this winter, because I was supposed to go in the 2024 winter with some really close friends of my family, however my grandpa developed a disease on his cancer and that made him go to ICU and he was given 72 hours of life, fortunately he lived until June. After that we managed to change the date of the trip and marked it to this winter and this time we went with some friends of mine and it was really fun because besides my friend there I could meet some friends of his childhood that were pretty nice and it was my first time skiing and I loved it. The other one was deciding to do the exchange year, because when my mom was 15 she did it and said that she loved, so I decided that I wanted to do, and until now the experience is being really nice, I got to met new people and principally train my english and surprising my spanish as well. For me the only problem of the exchange year is being away from home and from my parents but besides this its really nice

PW #1 – Driving On The PCH

On December 27th 2024, I was driving with a friend on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) heading to Malibu, it was a beautiful sunny day, and the ocean was vibrantly blue. Almost two weeks later, the Palisades fire ignited and lasted 24 days, spreading across the Santa Monica Mountains, the Pacific Palisades, and areas of Malibu.

When I returned to Los Angeles in March 2025, the PCH was still closed to all traffic, only allowing residents access. We had to take a detour, and it was my first glimpse of the fire’s impact.

Finally, in July 2025, I drove up the Pacific Coast Highway again. It didn’t feel like the same stretch of land it had always been, instead of the beautiful coastal hills, everything around me looked burnt. We saw many burnt cars, and only the frames of houses remained. My dad even pointed out a burnt Porsche 911, which was surreal to see. While many homes had been destroyed, some survived the flames. Some people were already rebuilding, clearing debris, and restoring their communities. My heart goes out to all the residents who have lost so much, but are still building back up.

For me my siblings Marc,Paula and Jan are the most important thing in the world there are many reasons but of them is since the moment I was Born I was with them playing, laughing and all type things so they new literal all about me. We have also have so many experiences . But we also had many fighting´s but we resolved all of them because we really appriciate us and I couldn´t live happy knowing that anything is wrong with us.

I miss theme because Paula and Marc are in Germany living and study so they don´t live with me, my parent´s and my brother Jan .At the beginning it was really hard to get used of it but I had no other chance. I still had my brother Jan but it wasn´t the same because it filled like something was wrong or something was missing but me and Jan knew that this feeling was because Marc and Paula weren´t with us.

But this summer me and my siblings had a vacation to Vienna just us four it was incredible beacause we hadn´t seen us in 1 year. And it felt like the old good times we had together.

A month ago I imagined this to be hard. A month ago I imagined that I would sit in my room all day missing my friends. A month ago I imagined calling my parents all the time telling them to buy me an airline ticket. A month ago I imagined myself wearing the same clothes all the time because I only barely know how to wash. A month ago I imagined me only eating much too unhealthy things all the time. A month ago I imagined that I won’t be able to follow the teachers because my English would be too bad.

A month ago I could never have guessed that it would feel like I never want to go home again. A month ago I could never have guessed that I would go out with my new friends every afternoon even if it’s just for a walk. A month ago I could never have guessed that there was laundry day which is the best invention ever. A month ago I was actually right with thinking that the main things I eat would be Fruit Loops, but I sometimes also eat some veggies and things like that. A month ago I was wrong with assuming that I can’t follow the teachers (without Mr. Hernandez). A month ago I could never have guessed that I would consider this as one of the best decisions I have ever made, only after three weeks.

If I could go anywhere in the world with one person, I think I would go to Germany with my best friend. we both speak a fair bit of German, and I’ve been learning it for four years now. I would love to visit places like Berlin or cologne. Germany also has so many different types of food I’d love to try and learn about, including Franzbrötchen, which is a small, sweet Viennoiserie baked with butter and cinnamon, similar to a cinnamon roll.  I would also look at the castles of Germany, as German architecture is absolutely incredible seen with your own eyes. One architectural wonder, known as the cologne cathedral is quite the sight, a contrast to what most peoples idea of what a cathedral should look like, cologne cathedral uses darker colors, making it appear towering and gloomy. A cool fact about this cathedral is that it took 632 years to build! My best friend and I are also really interested in the Streizelmarkt in Dresden, which is a festive Christmas celebration that usually takes place from late November to December, giving visitors a chance to learn about German Christmas traditions, foods, and customs. Lastly, I think I would take my best friend on a train ride through places like the Rhine valley in Frankfurt, somewhere she really loves.

PW #1 – Story Time

Golden leaves twisted in the wind like falling ash as I stepped onto the old trail behind the farm. The air was cold—sharp enough to bite, but quiet. Too quiet. No birdsong, no rustling animals. Just the sound of my boots crunching through the dead things underfoot. The trees loomed tall and brittle, their limbs like twisted fingers reaching for the sky. Most people don’t come out here after October. They say the forest feels… wrong. They’re not wrong. I like it best in the fall. Everything dying, everything shedding its skin. The ground soft enough to dig if you know where to look. Or where to leave things behind. I paused at the stream, where the water barely moved. Stagnant. Cold. I pulled the little wooden fox from my pocket and turned it slowly in my hand. Grandpa carved it the fall before he died. I used to think it was a gift. Now I know it was a warning. There’s a spot just off the trail—past the split tree, down the slope. That’s where I buried it: the box, the letters, the photos. Everything from before. Not a body. Just memories. Ugly ones. Some things are better left in the dark.
Especially when they still have teeth.

For me the people I spend time around leave huge impact on the type of person i can become, Ive had alot of close friends and people who come and go and people who stick around for a little but one person has made a big impact on my life for the last few months would be my best friend Elizabeth. She has made a huge impact on my life since meeting her. Id known Elizabeth a little prior to meeting her face to face through friends but id never think we’d end up getting this close. We offically met on a bus with my other friends Myleigh and Savana who had all known and gone to school with each other, we walked around millstream and westshore talking about everything and from there me and Elizabeth clicked. All through spring and summer break i was with no one else but her, she made everything more fun to do even if it was the most annoying things to do like chasing down a bus that came 7 minuets to early or having to go to plans she made with people i did not want to see, but though summer her family became a second family to me and a second home where i could genuinly rely on them for anything i needed along side my family of course. Elizabeth is one of the mostt important people in my life and is one of the only people who has ever known EXACTLY how ive felt in so many situations and i will be forever greatful for her and her family and everything they have done for me.

Who do you admire most in history … and why?

The historian person I admire the most is Wu zetian. She is the only female emperor officially ascended the throne on Chinese history. She has extraordinary wisdom, courage and perseverance. In the era that man are more important, usually rarely female can get this high status. But Wu zetian can break though the obstacle, became the emperor that control the whole country. She is good at utilize people, promote the revolution, improve economic and the expand of culture, she let the Tang dynasty became the most heyday. For example, she changing the Imperial Examination System and Emphasizing Talent. She expanded and reformed the imperial examination system, enabling more people from poverty backgrounds to enter the officialdom through examinations. This is considered a major contribution to breaking the monopoly of the aristocratic families. More impressively, although she is at the pinnacle of power,but she still remain perseverance. In pursuit of power, she shows the wisdom and decisiveness, she knows how to use strategy to maintain her status. The story of Wu zetian teach us, no matter gender, background, if you have firm will and wisdom, you can create your own legend. Her courage encourage people do not retreat when facing problem. She was not only a great emperor, but also a symbol in people’s heart of the courage to break through the box and pursue self-worth. Wu Zetian’s spirit makes people believe that as long as we work hard, any dream can be realized.

My first couple of weeks of school have been great. I was so mad about coming back to school because summer was so great this year; however, so far, school has been great. I have made so many new friends and new memories already. It is crazy how many culters I have met and learned about. There have been people from Brazil, Mexico, Japan and China. Something I am looking forward to is are class camp trip, which is coming up in two days. I am so excited for it; every time it is so much fun and one of the best, most fun trips of the year. So you could say things are going pretty well. At first, I was nervous about new classes and teachers, but I’m starting to settle in. Most of my teachers are nice, and the workload is manageable so far. Some classes are more challenging than others, especially math, but I’m trying to stay on top of things. I’m also getting used to waking up early again. Overall, I think this year has the potential to be a good one if I stay focused and organized.

PW#1: My favourite things

I’m going to describe my favourite things from certain categories but I’m not going to tell you what it is, and you actually have to guess. You also don’t have to guess, but you can if you want. It’s whatever.

Movie: Girl loves boyfriend. Girl plans to marry boyfriend. Girl goes to island. Girl has no dad, btw. Girl has too many dads? Girl and family friends sing a lot.

Movie: Girl with big ears hates lawbreakers. Girl befriends an orange lawbreaker, who has way too much game.

Television show: Criminal man wears suits and hats, has beautiful blue eyes, and really likes going to art galleries. He totally won’t steal anything. He also totally isn’t a criminal informant for this dude named Peter.

Book: Girl had television, and fishsticks and ketchup. Wait, nuh uh. There is no television, fishsticks, or ketchup.

Book: Boy hates boy. Boys ruin cake. Boys kiss.

Song: A woman’s husband dies. Everyone blames her for his heart failure. So she dognaps her neighbours dog to try out her hair-dye on.

Television show: Lots of characters that wear matching pyjamas. All of them die except for the traumatized ginger.

That feels like enough to me. So.

PW#1- Summer

This summer, I spent 2 weeks travelling around Europe (mostly France) with my family. We spent a few days in London, but we had previously visited before, so we just shopped and walked around. We then took a train to Paris, which has been my dream since I was little. Paris was beautiful, the architecture was beautiful, and the food was delicious. We spent only 3 days there, then took a train to a beautiful town on the water called “Villefranche-sur-Mer”. It was really calm there and not that busy, which was nice.

We then took a day trip to a small commune called “Èze,” which was beautiful; it had very old architecture and a beautiful garden called “Jardin Exotique,” which translates to “Exotic Garden”. They also had many different boutiques that sold jewelry, clothes, souvenirs, etc. The next few days were spent in Villefranche (Èze is only a 20-minute drive from Villefranche). We also crossed the Italian border and drove into a town in Italy called Sanremo. It was beautiful there, but a storm started to form, so we had to leave.

We spent our last day in Villefranche at a beach club, which was really nice and had amazing food. Our next stop was Nice, where we spent 2 nights. While in Nice, my mom booked us a boat trip; the captain took us near Cannes and Saint Tropez, which was really cool. The water was so blue and clear. After that, we went to Monaco, which was even cooler. I’ve been wanting to go for so long, so it was really exciting to see everything in person, especially the Formula One track.  Everything in Monaco was perfect. It was definitely my favourite part of the whole trip.

 

PW1 – I guess I’ll write about the dream I had

I was taking a road trip with my family to this lighthouse. We got out of the car and started heading down the trail to get to the lighthouse. The trail was very steep and the curves were sharp. But once we were down, I saw the lighthouse on a big rock. Railings were going around it. In front, you could see the ocean, which was clear until a certain point where there was dense fog acting as a wall around us. My parents were standing closer to the ocean on the pathway below me. They said it was supposedly a great time to see whales. The waves were big and crashing against the rocks. But when I looked at the rocks that the waves were hitting, I saw that when the tide receded, there were a ton of huge fish being carried by the waves and thrown against the rocks, too. Suddenly, I heard the blow of a whale and looked towards the fog and saw its back. Generally, after seeing the whales back, they retreat into the water. However, this whale kept on rising out of the water. Suddenly, I noticed strange ripples in the water below me. I realized a huge whale was emerging right below my feet. I was leaning so far over the platform that I was sure I was going to fall off. The whale had fully emerged from the water, and I was picked up by a metal monster. The monster was as big as a mountain and was made of shiny metal like garbage cans and old bicycles. It was surrounded by more metal objects floating in the tide. Then it threw me and I was soaring in the air past the whale and had to wiggle in the air so I would land on the platform instead of the ocean.

Personal writing #1

So, before I start, I want to warn you that there will probably be many grammar mistakes. So, today is Saturday. I have absolutely no clue what day it is, and I’d rather not find out. All I know is I’m trying to cram all my homework into today and tomorrow because of the camping trip. I have a soccer game today, we’re playing a home game. I needed to switch teams earlier this year cause my original team didn’t have enough players to make a full team, but around 2 weeks ago, we did tryouts, and I made it into silver. That’s pretty cool. I had mango for breakfast, which was really yummy 😋 . I’m texting my friend and writing this at the same time… How many words is this supposed to be? I’m writting everything that comes to my head. Has anyone sent pigs to the moon yet? I was playing a game last night, and the guy I was playing with seemed really chill. He was funny. I wanna make some flowers tight now, a guy gave me flowers 💐, ummmmmm, how many words is this supposed to be?

im now going to tell you about mochi, mochi was my moms cat he was a snowshoe Siamese and Very fluffy we got him form calgary and he flew here in a plane, he was very tiny but he turned out to be a little chunky kitty, he was around a year old when he went missing and his airtag last pinned at a garbage dump, so we think either someone stole ehim and left hie airtag at a dump or an eagle got him, killed him, and left his body at the dump…. um, this is making me cry….. thats good enough for personal writting goodbye

PW#1 Gymnastics

My gymnastics path has been one of the hardest but also most rewarding experiences of my life. I started gymnastics when I was 5, and at first it was just something fun to do after school. As I got older, the practices got harder and the expectations grew. There were so many times when I wanted to quit because it felt like too much pressure.

One of the biggest challenges I faced was learning how to deal with fear. Learning that skills weren’t just about strength, they were about trusting myself. I also learned that gymnastics wasn’t just physical but mental work. Gymnastics taught me that failing doesn’t mean I’m not good enough, it means I’m learning.

Competing was another part of my experience. At first I was terrified of judges and crowds, but eventually I realized it wasn’t about being perfect, it was about showing how much work I had put in. Even when I didn’t place as high as I hoped, I still walked away very proud, and happy I got a metal.

Gymnastics has shaped me as a person in ways I didn’t expect. It’s taught me discipline, patience, and how to push through when things get tough. Looking back, I see that gymnastics isn’t just about flips and routines, it’s about growing into a stronger, braver version of myself.

Writing things my friends are saying without their consent! (PW1)

Ohhhhhh, Lyla? Did you do the French? You did? Damn it. I need answers. Mmm. I’m tired. And depressed.What if it will be pancakes for once? I want pancakes… K I don’t know what to do. Ohhhh god.

introduction to Adrien

My name is Adrien Mills, and I was born in 2010 and am 15 years old. I was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I lived there for 3 or 4 years before moving to Edmonton, Alberta, where I lived for 5 years. I lived there for 5 years until I eventually moved to Montréal for 2 years for my mom to do her residency for becoming a doctor. I lived in Montréal during Covid so I didn’t really get to experience Montréal the way I wanted to, but then I eventually moved here and have been living here for about 4 years. We originally stayed in this cramped basement suite for like a year and a half while we were waiting for our house to be built, but once we had lived in our house for like a year, we found out it was too small, so we bought a new house and had a new one built. now we live here. I really like swimming and I swim competitively and I like to say that I am good at it. I really like listening to music and playing video games.

Introducing Myself – Said

Hello, my name is Said Ali el Hajj, I’m from São Paulo, Brazil, and my birthday is on January 18. I’m 15 years old and interested in sports such as volleyball, hockey, swimming, and figure skating. When I was a child, I used to play soccer, and I also played the violin for a year, which I would like to continue learning in the future. About my family, I have one sister and my parents, whom I love more than anything, as well as five cats — Snow, Bella, Panda, Abraxus, and Freud (I wasn’t the one who chose the fourth name) — and two dogs named Mufasa and Sarabi, whose names were inspired by The Lion King movies, my mom’s favorite. I really love the winter, but I don’t completely dislike summer; I enjoy sunny days, but I hate when it’s extremely hot and makes you feel sweaty and exhausted. My favorite food is temaki, a Brazilian version of Japanese sushi, and I love trying new foods and drinks at restaurants, although I can be a bit picky with dishes I’m not used to eating. I also enjoy visiting beautiful places, whether traveling to new countries, discovering restaurants, or exploring landscapes full of nature. I’m passionate about science, especially biology, and I want to learn as much as possible about how the human body works and its internal processes. My favorite movie genre is horror, especially those with lots of jumpscares, and in the future I would love to visit many countries in Europe and Asia, as well as explore more of the beautiful places I haven’t yet discovered here in Canada.

My older brother graduated last year and is planning to go study at a business school in Spain. My younger brother is 2 years younger than me, and he’s in grade 8 – also at brookes. My younger sister is back at home with my parents, up north in a small city called kitimat. I moved there from the UK over 2 years ago but came here to do boarding at an IB school. I only speak english because i didn’t properly learn any other languages, despite living in areas where they are spoken primarily.

Introducing myself – Archie

My name is Archie, and I’m 14 years old. This is my 3rd year at Brookes. My main hobbies are basketball and golf. This is my 3rd year playing basketball, and it’s my favorite sport. I am very excited for the school basketball season. I have been playing golf for about a year now, but I have been playing very consistently and improving a lot. I am even better than a lot of my friends who have been playing for 3+ years. My favorite food is sushi, and there is such a good sushi place downtown called Toro Sushi. If you haven’t been there, I definitely recommend going. I want to go there for my birthday dinner this year in a little over a month. Another thing about me is that I am very passionate about making money. I have started many hustles and small businesses, as that is something I love to do. I am really passionate about this and want to become a business owner or an entrepreneur when I am older.  It is overall quite difficult to manage my very busy life, from school to my basketball, which I play a minimum of 2 hours a day,  as well as somehow finding ways to spend time with my friends and for my hobbies, it is definitely hard to find a balance.

Introducing myself

I have been at Brookes since grade 7 so that is four school years and thats including this grade. One of the things that I love to do is to be outdoors when its sunny and nice out. The things that I like to do on my weekends or in my free time is to go dirt jumping (this is done with a bike), scooter, golf, and play video games. Now lets talk about in school my favourite subjects are Science cant really tell you more specifically what I like in Science because its all good. The other subjects that I like are PE, and Art.

Introducing myself – Anna Fabra

Hello, my name is Anna Fabra Suñé and I was born in Barcelona, Spain, on August 2nd 2010, so I’m fifteen years old.

I live with my parents and my two dogs. One german shepherd and the other is a mix of pit bull. They are both adopted and I really love them and miss them so much.

I have long brown hair and dark brown eyes. I’m not tall (although I used to be tall when I was little).

I have lived in Spain my whole life and I really liked it, so you are probably wondering why I came here. The answer is that my old school wasn’t an IB school and I wanted to be in one to have plenty of opportunities in the future. Also I think that the idea of having international friends is so good so I wanted to try. So I asked my parents if I could go to study one year abroad. We started looking for places in Canada and also UK and we were interested on this school. And actually I’m glad that I chose to come here because I’m enjoying a lot my time in here and I hope to come back next year!

Introduction to Anna

My name is Anna Maria Rössler, I was born on 10th of June 2010 so I am fifteen years old. I am from a small village in Austria directly in the alps, in which I have been living in all my life long. Living next to a mountain can be really great especially if you like to ski but you can also get forced to hike every day. I got one smaller brother whose name is Max and who is 13 years old. I really love doing sports, no matter which one, but my favorite ones are running, skiing and snowboarding. I used to be a professional gymnast but I quit 2 months ago. Cooking and baking are also activities which I love to do in my leisure time maybe because you get something delicious to taste afterwards. One thing which I love even more than cooking or doing sports are my friends with whom I do nearly everything with. My favorite food is “Kasspatzeln”, which is a bit like the Austrian version of Mac and Cheese and “Kaiserschmarren”(chopped and caramelized pancakes). My dream job is being a Pediatrician and an emergency doctor, just because I love children and helping people. But before I begin to visit university my dream is to do a gap year to travel the world because traveling is one of the things which gives me experiences I will never forget and which gives me perspectives which influence my life in a great way.

 

Introduction – Sophie.R

Hi! My name is Sophie, my real name is Sophia though. When I was very young I didn’t like being called Sophia because it was only used by my dad or when I was in trouble. I was born just outside Toronto, Ontario. I lived there until I was about 4 years old and then my family moved to Victoria when my little brother, Monty, was 1 year old. The rest of my family still lives in Ontario so I visit often. I have been at Brookes since grade 6 so this is my 5th year. I think that I will stay at Brookes until I graduate but that could always change. I also have a dog named Campbell who is 2 years old. My favourite colours are light pink and navy blue, even though they seem pretty opposite I still think that they can look good together sometimes.

I like to read even though I am a very slow reader it still brings me joy. I also love to exercise, especially take my dog on walks and sports like pickle ball ands sometimes tennis. The sports I am currently doing are horse back riding which I have been doing since I was 6 years old, my horse is named Gigi and I do Dressage. The other sport I do is ski racing, I train at our local mountain called Mount Washington. I am starting a new club this year so I hope that I can make lots of new friends.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Sofia Bequer, I am 14 years old, and my birthday is December 17 2010. I was born in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. When I was around 4 years old, my parents decided to come to Canada, and we have lived here ever since. I have two brothers, one older and one younger, and their names are Lorenzo and Daniel. I also have a dog named Ella who is adorable. I live with all of them and my mom and dad. My grandparents also recently came from Cuba for a little bit.

I don’t have many interesting hobbies, but I do like to go shopping, sometimes play tennis with my family at a tennis court by our house, I like Starbucks, and I like the colours light pink, white, and light turquoise. I have been at Brookes since I was in grade 8 which would make that 3 years of me being at Brookes. My favourite subject in school is probably math (when I understand it) or I&S because they are both really interesting subjects and you’re learning something new everyday. Wether its a new way of solving a math question or learning more about something in history you didn’t know even had happened.

Juan Pablo Introduction

My name is Juan Pablo del Río Rocha. My father’s name is Alberto. He has a tequila factory. My mother’s name is Mireya. I’m from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. I’m 15 years old. I like to play basketball, skype, and golf. This is my second year in Canada. Before, I was in Bodwell in Vancouver, British Columbia. I have a 19-year-old brother who is studying mechanical engineering in Canada. I have two sisters, Mariana and Mariajose. Mariana is a doctor in Mexico and my other sister, Maria Jose, is studying international relations in Mexico. I have a dog. I like to go out with my friends downstairs. My roommate, Esq., is from Brazil. I don’t like to read much and my English isn’t good at all, and my French is even worse. My house in Mexico is near Andares, which is a Mexican mall. I will stay at Brooks for 3 years if I do well in school, and if not, I will return to Mexico to study high school at Tec, a good school in Mexico. I really like the Vancouver city since I’ve been there for a year and it’s a very fun city that has a lot of things to do, you never get bored there, it’s just that it’s a very big and expensive city.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Avery and I’m 15 years old. My birthday is May 20th, and I was born in Vancouver. However, my family and I moved here when I was around 5 years old. I have a dog, his name is Kona, and he is a labradoodle. He turned 5 in August. My favourite colour is pink because it reminds me of spring, which is my favourite season. I don’t have a lot of hobbies, but I do enjoy listening to music, and I like many different types of music. My favourite artists are Enhypen, The Beatles, Elton John, Wave to Earth, and Fleetwood Mac. I also really enjoy watching movies, my favourite movie is “Priscilla”, which follows the story of Priscilla Presley, who shares what it was like being the former wife of Elvis Presley. I also like The Outsiders, Back to the Future and Roman Holiday.

My favourite subject in school is I&S because I love learning about history and how the world used to work. It’s a subject I seem to do best at and understand the most. I also like Math, but only if I understand what’s happening. When I am older, I know that I want to work in finance like my mom does, but it’s hard to decide where I want to live. I know for sure that I don’t really want to live in Canada because I have lived here my whole life. Living in London would be really cool, but I would also be really far away from my family, so I’m not sure yet.

Introduction – Lyla!

Hi! My name is Lyla, I am 15 years old, my birthday is August 8th 2010 and I might be a little crazy at times (you have been warned). I was born in the same hospital as Suzy and lived in Vancouver until I was 12 and a half. I started at Brookes in term 3 of grade 7 and have been here ever since. My favorite subjects are Science, English, and PHE. My favorite teachers are Mr. T, Miss Chan, and Mr Macknight. I have a 2 year old dog named Jax, he is a cavapoo (king charles cavalier spaniel mixed with a poodle) and he is one of the cutest things you will ever see! I play volleyball with the school and I also do track and field (specifically javelin, long jump, and hundred meter sprint (I’m quite bad at that last one)). I LOVE to read (until it comes to our English texts) and my favorite series is probably Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. I am also unhealthily obsessed with jellyfish, so if you have any jellyfish related questions you can come to me. I also love pumpkins with a passion! All pumpkins are named Lenny (or Leonard or something that starts with an “L”) and I am running out of interesting things to write, unless you want to hear that I know how to knit but that makes me sound older than Mr Macknight. So……. Yeah! Au revoir!

Introduction – Suzy

Hello. I am Suzy, and I am 14 years old. My birthday is December 14, 2010. I was born and raised in Canada. Although my parents are from Mexico.

I love PE because I am a very athletic person and am always moving, so playing sports is super fun to me.

Introduction to Ciel

Hi, I am Ciel. I am 14 years old and born on November 19, 2010. I am from South Korea and have lived in Canada for a total of 4 years. I started moving back and forth between Canada and Korea when I was in grade 4. I first came to Canada in grade 4 and stayed through grade 5. After that, I  moved back to Korea for 2 years. Then I returned to Canada in grade 8, and I have been living here since then. In fact, I visited Victoria once before going back to Korea! I have only been in Victoria for a few months. Before moving I lived in New Westminster during my previous time in Canada. I have a small brown dog that is 4 years old, and I enjoy going on a walk with him.

This summer I moved to Victoria and also traveled to South Korea. Moving to Victoria was difficult at first, but I really like it here because it is so peaceful and surrounded by nature. In Korea I got to meet my friends and families. It was wonderful to reconnect with them, but it was extremely hot, so I wasn’t able to do much.

For this school year, I am looking forward to meeting new friends and making a wonderful memories.

Introduction from Ivet

Hello my name is Ivet Miehe Plana . I was born in 2009 the 29 of December in Girona,Spain . My mother is from Spain but my father is from Germany so that makes me half Spain and half German.

I Lived 8 years in Padaborn,Germany with my Parents and my three siblings Paula, Marc and Jan. I´m the youngest.

Because of the work of my Father we moved to Puebla, Mexico, all the things there where new for me like the language, the people and etc… In the beginning it was complicated for me to adapt because when I lived in Germany I could always walk where I wanted to go but in Mexico it is dangerous so even if I wanted to go somewhere where it would be 10 min I had to ask my parents if they can drive me .

In Mexico I began with gymnastic I did it 4 years long but then one day I got bored and I stop doing it .With my siblings I played Tennis I really liked it but then it was not the same anymore and we stopped playing. But then we began doing Yoga with my parents but then I got bored and I only did it sometimes. Then my oldest brother Marc began with Boxing and I got interested and so I also wanted to do boxing and I did it with a friend, I really liked it a lot.

Introduction to Ella

Hi! My name is Ella, I was born on January 1st in Victoria, BC and I have lived here my whole life.

A few of my hobbies include going for runs, doing yoga, and dancing. I started dancing when I was four and I have loved it ever since. Over the years, I’ve done many different styles of dance, including ballet, lyrical, jazz, and hip hop (My favourites being hip hop and jazz). Dance has mainly taught me discipline, and has given me confidence to perform in front of others without fearing judgement.

Another thing I enjoy is travelling, over the summer I spent time in Los Angeles and SoCal. My parents and I visited family friends there, and while it is only two hours away by plane, it is one of my favourite places to visit. I love the beaches, the restaurants, and of course, the shopping!

I also went to Nashville for the first time, which was such a fun experience. I visited the Parthenon, which is a replica of the original Parthenon in Greece, and toured Elvis Presley’s Graceland. The vibe in Nashville is very different from how it is in Victoria, people were quite warm and talkative towards my family, even though we didn’t know them. Experiencing both places over the summer really opened my eyes to how diverse cities can feel, even in the same country. After I got back home to Victoria, I started learning how to drive, which has been an exciting challenge that I am still working on.

This school year, I’m looking forward to building new friendships, meeting new people, and making the most of all the opportunities ahead.

Bernardo’s Introduction

Hello,my name is Bernardo Veronezzi. I was born on April 30th of 2010, so I’m 15 years old. I was born in Itajaí in Brazil and I still live in there, the city im from wasnt popular or big when i was born however in the pandemic the city popularity exploded and I don’t know the reason why, my mom says that it was because of the beaches since people couldn’t travel or go to parties. Both my mom and dad are entrepreneurs, my dad has a construction company that does buildings in Balneario Camboriu, that is the city next to me, that’s a common job there since it has a lot of buildings there. My mom has a store and works in the sustainable part of a big clothing company in Brazil. I have a younger sister, her name is Stella and she and my mom recently moved to France to spend a whole year there.

For my future I don’t know what I want to do but it will probably be something with real estate or I will just continue my dads business.

As for hobbies and interests, I enjoy hiking, learning languages, child care, and studying history. Most summers I volunteer at my local recreation centre to take kids on field trips and swim days – this year was my third year of volunteering. My favourite hike to do is the Kludahk trail, which is an alpine trail that follows the San Juan ridge and parallels the Juan de Fuca trail. History is one of my favourite school subjects, specifically the first and second World War. I am working on learning German, and hope one day I can live there or study abroad in Frankfurt, Cologne, or Berlin. I also like baking, my specialty being ginger snap and chocolate chip cookies that I make for my family and my neighbours – a Ukrainian family that moved in three years ago. Reading is another one of my hobbies, my favourite book being Cilka’s Journey, a story of a Czech woman that was sent to a Russian gulag to serve a sentence of 15 years hard labour. It’s a very moving book, and interesting as well.
