====My name is Shelby, as you probably already know. I was born in 1996 in West Vancouver. I lived in West Vancouver until grade six, which is when I moved here to Victoria. In grade six, seven, and eight, I attended Cedar Hill Middle School. Cedar Hill was a great school, I loved my teachers and friends there. Something that I believe in is that you should always try your best, even if it's something you don't like. For example, I am not crazy about Math but I always aim to do my very best. I am interested in sports, music, art, and many other things. Two of my favourite sports are skiing and swimming. I started skiing when I was about four. Exploring different mountains is one of the finest ways to kill time. I went skiing in Banff a couple years ago, and I got lost on the mountain with my sister. It was quite scary, but it was still an amazing adventure. I was also a competitive swimmer for a long period of time, since I was about 8. I swam almost everyday and sometimes in the morning before school. Swimming that often got hectic, I wanted more time for school work and having fun, so I quit. Music is one of my favourite things, I love to listen to music and create music. I played the electric bass and drums in Middle School band. Art is also something I love. My favourite form of art is photography. Whenever I see something that looks unique or interesting I take pictures of it. I could photograph things all day. I also love to paint abstract paintings. I love expressing myself with my paintings and using colours that fit my mood. I am generally a very happy, upbeat person. So far I am enjoying Mount Doug, this school has a lot of great opportunities that I am going to take advantage of. ==== Thanks for your thoughtful response Shelby! I hope you will take my Photo class later! You seem to be a very well rounded student. I love the skiing picture by the way. 6/6
