My name is Alyssa and I am in grade 11 at West Elgin Secondary School. English has never been my strongest subject but school has never been too hard for me so I am sure this course will go fine. I prefer math and science, but due to course conflicts I was put into two online courses this year and I chose to do English and geography to get them over with. Do not get me wrong though, I do enjoy writing and reading. I do not hate English class.
When I am not in school I am playing ringette for London, reading, eating, sleeping, going to the gym or watching t.v. I also work at a Tim Horton's along the 401, but I have applied for a job at a vet clinic and am hoping I get it.
The coolest thing I have probably ever done was volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I went down for just over two weeks and built two schools and a home in that time period. My friend and I plan on doing another trip next year and I couldn't be more excited. We hope to go the "Go. See. and Do." again. This is the link to the home page:

This is my friend and I on the trip... I am on the right.
I would like to say I have some sort of idea what career I want to get into, but I really have no idea. I am just aiming for a career in animal or environmental sciences and hoping for the best. I cannot see my 16 year old self wanting the same career as my future 40 year old self.
So ya, that is a bit about me.
