I am Erin Hartmans, a 16 year
old, grade 11 French immersion student at John F. Ross C.V.I. I was born in the United States and lived in a few different places before moving to Guelph, Ontario. Throughout high school, I have involved myself in a wide variety of fundraisers and clubs, such as Student Outreach Club, Spread the Net and 30 Hour Famine. This year I am on the John F. Ross Students' Council. My responsibilities involve planning school events that benefit both students and the community; it has been a wonderful experience. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering at my local church, practicing yoga, playing the piano and reading everything I can. I love baking, capturing pictures, swimming in lakes and listening to Canadian music. Each day, I try to do one thing that will lead to a better tomorrow. |

2) Summer Vacation
3) My family’s [...]

Erin shares a video in this blog: “This video looks at how we solve world issues and why. It also stresses the importance of reverting back to our human nature of empathy, and ultimately into an empathic civilization.” (Click here to watch…)
