Dean – Winston Knoll Collegiate

I am a Grade 12 student at Winston Knoll Collegiate. My favourite things to do are play video games with my friends, listen to music, and work out. I enjoy these things because they keep me out of trouble and away from the negative things around me.

I grew up in Regina and, throughout the years, I have surrounded myself with amazing people such as my mom and dad. They support me in everything I do and encourage me to do things as they know what’s best for me. My friends are also great people who give me support on a daily basis. The person who I look up to for inspiration, motivation and a positive mind set is Dwayne Johnson.

The one thing I have to do daily is work out; it puts me in a great mood, and I feel more productive after I finish a good workout. I started to work out because in Grade 9, I was only able to do four push-ups so it was a wakeup call to get stronger. I wanted to change myself in a positive way. I encourage people to work out because when you set your goal and achieve it, it’s the best feeling in the world to see all of the hard work finally pay off.

I am proud of the nice things people say about me, and I’m very honoured to receive this Twelfth Year award.
