My name is Madeline Turland. I am a sixteen-year-old student at G.C.V.I. high school in Guelph. I live with my mom, dad, dog, and cat. I believe that people can make their own choices about life and the world around them. I have a passion for playing trumpet and love to hang out with my band buddies! My favorite foods include goat cheese, lasagna, grapes and milk. I have been to Canada’s east coast, west coast, Yellowstone national park and will be embarking in my first overseas trip to France and Spain during March Break of this year. I hope to do much more travelling in the future and can’t wait for our trip to Africa in 2011. |
