The epigram all Miller students are familiar with, “Be Loud, Proud, and Respectful Marauders,”
has been ingrained in my conscience through my actions in and outside of school.
I am LOUD through my outspokenness on political and social issues. I aim to make the
classroom a place of dialogue, where all students are able to learn from each other and develop
critical thinking. I make my voice heard on ways that we can improve the school environment
through my actions as SRC Vice-President, Senior STRIVE Trustee for Miller, and founder of
Miller’s Alliance for Gender and Sexual Diversity.
I am PROUD to represent my school and my school division through my work advocating for a
multitude of issues outside of the school. I have been lucky to meet with government ministers
and MLAs to speak about youth mental health and LGBTQ+ issues within schools. I have
worked to make myself a leader and role model to my fellow Marauders through my actions.
I am RESPECTFUL towards other people, regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs. Our future
is one of interconnectedness, and I hope that in my future legal, judicial, or political career I will
be able to make a positive impact on our world.
It is an honour to be included with this group of incredible young leaders, I am sure that
tomorrow’s population will be in good hands considering that we will be the scientists,
researchers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and politicians leading Canada into the next chapter of our history.
