Ardenn L.

An unmatched love of all things pulls me into diverse spheres and a variety of social spaces. Competition might be my first love, striving to be the best, and being part of a team. Football excellence is part of who I am; spilling more blood, sweat, and heart than can be measured. From the days of backyard catch with my dad and three younger brothers to earning Rookie of the Year with WKC, pursuing this passion has earned me a spot on the University of Toronto Varsity Blues for the fall of 2021. Working with my talented friends in the arts community brings me joy; delivering monologues and playing jazz music fills my creative space. The world of racing is my dream career and occupies a lot of my free time and headspace. The ultimate goal would be to work in the industry with my childhood favourite Tony Stewart, or the F1 Haas team. I pride myself in earning high grades while balancing the rest. Challenging myself with Advanced Placement courses, and exploring academic interests in engineering and law. Having a teacher-mom has helped me, strive for what I can learn, what new perspectives can be found, and how our generation can be better. Next year, I hope to be part of Rotman Commerce at the U of T. My life could not be as colourful without a foundation of perseverance and work ethic. I thank my parents, brothers, grandparents, coaches, and teachers for encouraging me to push my limits.
