Category: 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.

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.

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 name is Gisela, last name Aguilar. Im 16 and my birthday was June 19th. I was born in Mexico City and lived there until this year in which I came to my exchange year. Back in Mexico I used to live with my parents and my older brother, and my five pets: three dogs, and two bunnies.

Academically, I consider myself someone that can be really good or the opposite, it varies depending on class. I enjoy subjects with numbers and languages. Even if those are not things you see in every class I tend to do my best even if it’s a class I might not be the best at. I also have a passion for reading, however It only shows if I enjoy the book Im reading.

Outside of school I enjoy many things, from piano to playing sports. I tend to practice piano everyday as it’s one of my favorite things to do. On the other side, I have never really focused on one specific sport, but my favorites would be tennis, volleyball, and dancing. I also value time with friends and family, balancing my entire life.

As an exchange student I am very glad to be in Brookes and have the opportunity to meet so many new people and new things, and the year with so many experiences that I’ll never forget.

My name is Ipri hart and I was born on the 7th of january, 2010, in Nigeria. I have spent about 5 years of my life in nigeria, but i spent the others living in various other countries. This is my second year at brookes and I am still enjoying it. I have 2 brothers, one older and one younger, and a younger sister. 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.

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.

Hello. I am Nik, I am 15 years old. My birthday is March 27, 2010. I was born in Calgary Alberta Canada and moved to Victoria for grade 1. 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. The sports that i have played are basketball and badminton. I still play those sports just not competitively but I also play golf and a bit of hockey for fun. I have done a lopt of traveling over the last 7 years and I love doing it. The countries that i have been to are France Mexico, Canada (Toronto, Edmonton) USA (New York, Hawaii, Florida, Bahamas), Puerto Rico, and the Cayman Islands.

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!

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.

 

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.

My name is Rachel, I am 15 years old, and I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, on June 4th. I love many different types of cuisine; however, my favourites are Mexican, Japanese, and Italian food. I love to travel as i get to explore different Parts of the world learn new Culutres, which is something i got to do alot of this summer, i began by going on vacation with my best friend Isabella to La paz, It was so beautiful though ive gone before it is always breathtaking as we stay on her familys boat in the middle of the ocean which has the bluest water ive ever seen and is full of marine life such as dolphins which have been my favorite animal since i was 6. I then travelled with my family to Paris and Italy for my birthday, which was incredible, as I had been anticipating this trip for all year. In Italy, I visited Rome and Florence, as well as the beach town of Castiglioncello, which I loved, as I have always felt a connection to Italy. I have many interests, including cinematography and Design. My favourite Movie is Call Me By Your Name by Luca Guadagnino, who is my favourite director, as well as Rapunzel, Ratatouille, Desperate Housewives, Modern Family, and The Kardashians. I also Love Listening to all sorts of Music and Artists such as Bad Bunny, Luis Miguel, Rauw Alejandro, SZA, Travis Scott, Blood Orange, and House Music. I have a very Mixed Music taste. I love going to Pilates and skiing, though I am still learning as I only go once a year in Whistler. I also have a strong passion for Cooking and Fashion, and I love watching Vogue and History videos in my free time, which is also something I’m interested in. When I’m older, I hope to live in New York in a beautiful house that I have designed myself and travel around the world with my Husband, children and my best friend.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 first lived in Port Moody and moved to the island when I was 10. I have a sister in this school and she is 2 years older than me. I also have a dog named Zulie, a husky, because it’s supposed to be a combination of my name and my sister’s name.

I’ve been at Brookes for 2 years and my favourite subject is Science (sorry, Mr. MacKnight). I love Chemistry and Biology. I strive to be a mycologist or marine biologist when I’m older. I also do volleyball, but I wouldn’t say I’m good.

Some of my hobbies include: Drawing, Miniature model building, reading comics, watching movies, listening to music, making banana bread, and writing short stories.

My name is Emma Kral, and I am 15 years old. My favourite thing in the world to do is golf. I have been golfing since a very young age and haven’t stopped loving it since. I practice every day, play all the time and play in tournaments all over North America. My dream in the future is to play Div 1 golf in the NCAA, hopefully somewhere down south. I am on the V.I. Team Bc, along with some of my best friends from other schools. Golf is what makes me happy every day, when I don’t have a good day, and even if I do have a good day, golf always makes it better.

I have an older brother, William. He graduated from Brookes last year in the 2025 class. My brother is my best friend, the person I do everything with. My dad also works at Brookes as the facilities manager, and my mom works as a golf pro at Olympic View. In school, my favourite subjects are PE and Science. I love PE because I am a very athletic person and am always moving, so playing sports is super fun to me. And I like Science because topics like Chemistry and Biology really interest me, and it is a class where we are always doing or learning something new, so I can experience and learn about new topics.

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.

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.

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.

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. I dont have too much hobbies but some of mine are travelling, in which I already have travelled 6 of the 7, another one is surfing, I started surfing when I was around 2 years old because the thing that my dad loves the most is surfing, and lastly is snowboarding, I only did once and it was not too long but I really enjoyed doing. 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.

Hello everybody! My name is Lauren, and I am 14 years old. I was born on December 31st New Years Eve, 2010, which usually means I am the youngest person in my classes. I was born in Canada, and have lived here my whole life. I have a younger brother who also attends Brookes, and a Labrador retriever named Holly, who frequently gets the zoomies!

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.

I am excited this school year to make friends from all around the world and participate in fun school activities.

Hello, my name is Laila. I was born at the Vic general hospital on a Saturday morning, on Halloween. I’m now 15, living my best life.

Some of my hobbies consist of going to the gym, boxing, cooking, baking, reading, and watching scary movies or cheesy Rom-coms. I also like school way more than people expect. Math and English are my favorite subjects, which is strange considering they’re complete opposites. Don’t even get me started on books. This summer, I read 32 of them. Before last year I hated reading, I had probably only read 7 books in my life, but after a year at Brooks I enjoy it so much.

I’m really into vacations and going new places, especially with my family. They’re honestly my favorite people, and I’d pick hanging out with them over almost anything. This summer me and my family went camping for the first time in around 3 years and let’s just say I am NOT a camping person. Bugs, dirt, mosquitos, and sleeping on the ground? No thanks.

I would rather go back to Persia to spend time with my family and see the Persepolis empire. Its a breathtaking thousand year old Persian empire, and being able to experience seeing it with my own eyes absolutely was amazing.

My summer wasn’t that interesting, most of the time I stayed at home and swam, or was reading. On top of that I stared reading the learners driving manual, I cant wat to drive! I did help my dad build another deck on our property, which was fun. Eventually he paid me back by building a big bookshelf for me, which I have in my room already filled up.

In the future I would like to study business, anatomy, and physiology to later hopefully become a veterinary anesthesiologist.

This school year I’m very exited to make new friends, get closer with my old friends, and learn new things while making wonderful memories.

Hello I am Subhan. I will be telling you a bit about myself so you can get to know me better.

I was born in Victoria, B.C. I live in this city with my parents  with . My parents are from Afghanistan. At my house my family makes Afghan food, and every once in a while, I help them out with the food. I am very interested in  learning about my country traditions and why we have them.

Another thing about me is I really like playing sports. The main sport I play is soccer. It’s my favourite sport ever since I was a kid. I like the sport because to it brings happiness me and it always Britains my day  . I always try to play soccer, whether it is at school or even with my family at a park. I always try to play as much as possible. Whenever I play, I feel active it kind of wakes me up.

Besides soccer, I am starting to love cooking because anything can happen while cooking. I like helping my parents in the kitchen. It’s fun to make different types of food with different ingredients , and make something special which you may like or not.

This school year, I am looking forward to learning a lot of things and making friends while playing lots of sports.
