My name is Alina and I am a Grade 9 student. This year I have hobbies that I would like to do frequently throughout the year, and goals that I wish to achieve. One of my hobbies is cooking and baking. During the pandemic, I was able to fill up my free time experimenting with new recipes. I also have a passion for dancing. I have been dancing since the age of 4. I have done duets and group performances for small charity/fundraising events. The styles of dance I have learned include ballet, jazz, bollywood and hip hop. The main style I do is bollywood, which gives me a connection to my heritage. This is because I am Canadian but both of my parents are Indian.
This year, I have a few goals that I wish to achieve to have a successful first year of highschool. My first goal is to participate and engage in class, whether it is a discussion or a group assignment. Secondly, I want to ensure I put a lot of time and effort in every single assignment no matter how big or small it is. Finally, my last goal is to keep a positive attitude towards this school year, which will motivate me to reach my goals.
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney
This quote speaks to me because it expresses that we can really do anything we want to and fulfil our dreams, as long as we have courage and bravery to try them. If we do not, then we cannot reach the goals. We lose hope, and instead are overwhelmed with fear. A big part of this quote is who it comes from because Walt Disney’s success story is incredible and proved his true potential all because he took a leap of faith.

The video I have chosen is a bunch of short clips of bunnies that will make you happy. They are tiny little bunnies that are adorable. The reason I chose this video is because sometimes when you are having a horrible day even a little smile will make it better. In this case it will definitely put a smile on your face.
The picture I have chosen is a beach. You can see the soothing waves on the shore, the bright blue color of the water, the clouds in the distance and most importantly the bright sun shining down. This picture calms you and makes you feel like you are there and can really relax you. Just imagine standing on the soft sand looking at the ocean, hearing the waves crash against the shore and feeling the warmth of the sun.

The website I have chosen is Netflix. This website you can watch shows and movies for a break. Like when you are stressed or something you can watch something for a bit to take your mind of it. The only thing is if you watch to much of it you can get addicted but if you set a goal of only watching 1 or 2 episodes it won’t be that bad. You definitely have to control yourself when a show or movies gets really interesting but it is a great way to unwind.
