It’s debate. It’s international affairs. It’s solving modern issues through research, collaboration, and a strong resolve to enact change. It’s Model UN. I recently had the pleasure of attending my first Model UN conference, where I won Best Delegate on the Commission of Science and Technology for Development.
Relay for Life is an event in collaboration with the Canadian Cancer Society where schools from across the nation come together as a community to raise money and awareness for those impacted by cancer. Last year, on the 16th year that Newmarket High School had been partaking in Relay for Life, we reached our million dollar milestone. I relay because when we come together as a society, we are bigger than cancer.
As the Event Chair of the Newmarket Youth Leadership Group, a not-for-profit organization, the first big event we planned for the 2023-2024 school year was a Networking Conference called “Empowering Youth Leaders.” Being a leader can seem daunting and scary, but when I came up with the idea for this event, I wanted to showcase that anybody can be a leader.
The Central Ontario Leadership Seminars is a not-for-profit organization that has been running since 1987 with an aim to empower youth from across the province to reach their leadership potential. One tenth grade student from every high school in Central Ontario is nominated to attend the three-day-long seminar, where they are subjected to icebreakers, team-building activities, keynote speakers, and daily reflections with a group of talented individuals they have never met before. I had the fabulous opportunity of embarking on my COLS adventure from May 26, 2023 to May 28, 2023 at the University of Guelph as a brand new ambassador.
The Art-A-Thon is a fundraiser where students pledge to create murals on school walls for 12 hours straight in order to promote inclusivity and an arts awareness throughout the school. With our design for the event, we hoped to promote the message that life is a wondrous thing, and that science plays an integral part in allowing one to truly experience life.
On Monday, April 24, 2023, I acted as Newmarket High School’s grade ten representative at the Student Outreach Meeting organized annually by the York Region President’s Council. The atmosphere we built was lively and personally inspiring, and I look forward to working with the YRPC as I continue my high school education.

It all starts when an idea pops into your head. You’re sitting at home with nothing to do, staring at the walls. You’re feeling extremely bored and you wonder, if there is something, anything that you could do. You close your eyes and think. And then that’s when it hits you. An idea. You remember…
I wrote a poem recently about my feelings of staying cooped in home during quarantine. I’ve included several literary devices, such as imagery, personification and similes, to add more depth to my writing and so that you readers can better understand what I wish to convey. This is a little off-course from what I usually…
