I am fifteen-years-old, currently participating in an environmental leadership program in Eden Mills. I live in Guelph, Ontario and attend G.C.V.I. I absolutely love working with children and would like to be a doctor someday. My ultimate dream would be to travel overseas as a doctor. I believe that us youth have power more than we can imagine: power to inspire, power to change, power to make a difference, power to act. Through the inspiration and power of youth, we can accomplish anything. I think that no goal is too small or too big, as long as people believe. As for other interests, I love sports: track and field, basketball, soccer, hockey, gymnastics, cross-country, skate skiing, snowshoeing – you name it, I've probably done it. I am Vanessa Linton. |
