I am applying to be chosen as one of TWO Canadians that will represent Canada at the annual Young Participants Session at the International Olympic Academy. This blog entry is part of that application. I needed to get creative and tell as much about myself as possible in 250 words. However, since a picture is worth 1000 words, and I am limited to a mere 250, expect more pictures than words. You can click on some of the pictures that say “link” under them and they will take you to the corresponding websites. Enjoy!
