Riddore C.

Dr. Martin LeBoldus Catholic High School

My name is Riddore Creer and I am a Grade 12 student at Dr. Martin LeBoldus Catholic High School. If you ask most people at my school who I am, they would most likely say that I am the enthusiastic guy on the intercom. I am a very energetic and outgoing person and have been very involved in my school community since Grade 9. I am blessed to have been involved in the music and drama programs and I have also been a part of MINGA and Multicultural Club. My faith has always been very important to me, and I have loved sharing it through my role as theLiturgical Representative on the SRC and through my involvement with Aramaic, the praise and worship band at my school. I have always strived to create a welcoming, open, and loving community at my school, so everyone feels that they belong. I am a very outgoing, passionate, and diligent person, due in part to being raised by strong and hardworking immigrant parents.They have always inspired me to do my best and to pursue my dreams, without being afraid to do so. This is why I will be moving to Toronto to pursue a career in nursing at Ryerson University. Although I am unsure of where my life will go, I am ready to tackle adulthood, to follow my dreams on my journey, and to spread positivity and kindness to the world

Samantha K.

Scott Collegiate

My name is Samantha Kingerski. I am the youngest of three with two older brothers. I live in a single-parent household; my mom has been my rock through it all. I have a cat named Potato and he is such a goofball, but I love him anyways, even when he’s lazy.

During this last couple of years, I have gone through six surgeries. I have gone through three back surgeries, two wrist surgeries and one neck surgery. I didn’t think I would graduate with my peers, but I pushed myself beyond what I thought I was capable of and passed all of my classes.

I’m a Grade 12 student at Scott Collegiate and have been there since Grade 9. The staff is amazing and has strong community morals. I thank Scott staff for encouraging me to take pride in my work and to have a good community relationship.

Outside of school, I have been part of the Girl Guides of Canada program for 11 years. Since I turned 18 this year, I will be returning as a guider to the program to give back to the next generation of girls, just like my guiders did for me.

Following high school, I have been conditionally accepted to the First Nations University to the Indigenous Social Work program. I am taking this degree because I want to help the future generations to come.

My name is Nathan Cameron. I go to Michael A. Riffel Catholic High School. I belong to the SRC Tech Ops team as senior tech, so on school assembly days, before choir concerts,and other events you’ll see me running around setting things up and making sure everything runs smoothly.

As well as being involved in these extracurricular activities, I work hard at school in my classes, which include AP Math, AP English and AP Art.

Outside of school, woodworking is a huge passion of mine. I got into the hobby after I acquired many of my great-grandfather’s tools from my grandma, and have grown my collection since then. I make things like pens, bowls, ring sand anything I can think of. I also enjoy robotics and 3D printing, but mostly I like to turn things that look like nonsense into pretty sweet projects.

After high school, I planonstudyingSoftware Systems Engineering at the University of Regina and hope to get a job in the AI sector. On the side I plan to continue my woodworking hobby and hope to create a small business out of it.

My name is Karlee Cooper and I am a proud student of Michael A. Riffel Catholic High School. My 4 years have been busy as I have tried to be as involved as possible. Getting involved with sports such as volleyball, basketball, track and rugby introduced me to many friends. I enjoy participating in theatre and have loved experimenting with improv and one acts and helping with costumes for the productions. These opportunities encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and shaped the outgoing personality I have today. I am a big fan of school spirit and have enjoyed being a member of the SRC. Additionally, I am thankful for the opportunity to be the Co-President of our Best Buddies chapter and getting to know each student. I find great joy in spending time with the FIAEP students and have taken part in That’s Possible Theatre and Special Olympics Basketball, forming lasting friendships. These activities have developed my passion for helping others and being a friend to all. I spend my free time working two part-time jobs at the YMCA Childcare Center and as a lifeguard/swim instructor or volunteering and hanging out with friends.

Academically, I am a top achieving student, taking great pride in my success and hard work. My goal is to earn great distinction again this year.

In my four years, I’ve made many wonderful memories in school extracurricular activities such as being on the SRC, playing volleyball, fall/spring drama productions, Improv, Best Buddies, That’s Possible, badminton, track, and flag football. Being involved has become an important part of my lifestyle and has shaped me to be who I am.

These friends have influenced me to become better at the things I do every day and they have encouraged me to never give up.

Morgan R.

Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School

The first thing many people notice about me is that I am loud, which fits well with Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School’s “Be Loud, Be Proud, Be Respectful” motto. Whether I am laughing at my own jokes or telling a dramatic story, it is difficult not to hear me.

Born and raised in Regina by my parents (later joined by my brother,) I have found many ways to keep myself occupied. I danced for more years than I can count (eleven years—- thanks AP Calculus) and have been developing my art skills. On the topic of the arts, this year I also partook in Miller’s One Act plays, which was a brand new experience for me. Joining extra-curricular activities has allowed me to meet new groups of people and be involved in new opportunities that I am thankful for every day.

In the realm of academics, I have always enjoyed challenging myself. I have settled on two AP classes, Calculus and Computer Science. I have also taken many arts classes, such as Visual Art and Photography10. Next year I am pursing the Computer Systems Technology Program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

One goal I focused on during my grade twelve year was being a positive light in someone’s life. I love seeing people smile and laugh so I made it a personal mission to spread positivity and love with my peers and community. Saying that, I truly hope you have an amazing day and thank you for taking the time to read about me

Joining teams and clubs and participating in different activities gave me the chance to expand my horizons, meet new people and develop new skills.

It is important to make the most out of everything and do what you love.

After I finish with chemistry, I would like obtain my education degree so that I can become a teacher. I love to interact with people, and I have a desire to positively affect people’s lives.

Jessica G.

Regina Christian School

My name is Jessica Anne Geisam, and I will be graduating from Regina Christian School in 2020. Throughout high school, I have participated in many extracurricular programs at my school. Some of these include volleyball, basketball, soccer, student leadership club, mentorship, international buddies, and many more throughout my years.

I have a passion for helping people and getting to know them. This is probably because of my amazing family, and this passion has caused me to be an outgoing and bubbly person. I am not only happy to be known as someone who is constantly smiling and laughing but also as someone who is there for others and offers help if there is an opportunity. My overall high school experience has been very positive, and I am proud to say that I will always remember being an RCS Grizzly.

One thing that I really enjoy outside of my school hours is spending time with my grandpa and his John Deere collection. He has been collecting tractors for many years and in that time, I have become close with him as we often go on road trips to buy different tractors together. As we go on our journeys, I drive his Cadillac while we talk about everything and anything. He has been a very integral and important person in my life, especially in the past couple of years.

I am very honoured to be representing Regina Christian School and excited to be continuing my education at the University of Regina for kinesiology and then into physiotherapy for my degree. I look forward to seeing what my future holds for me as I journey into adulthood.
