I live in Waterloo, ON I am in grade nine at Sir John A MacDonald Secondary School.
Here's a little bit about me
My life story is a little bit of a long one. I’m not like the ordinary person when I was born I was born with a cleft lip and palate. A cleft lip is when you are born with a split on your upper lip, this occurs when your an unborn developing baby it happens when your face does not fully develop when you are unborn. After I was born I had a surgery that stitched my upper lip back together again. My cleft lip and palate have had a huge impact on my life with some good things but also bad things. As I got to the age of four I finally got to go to school I was so excited to go and the best thing was that we had half days so that meant my grandma would be watching me every day at 12:50. When I was eight I had my final surgery for my cleft lip and palate, this surgery was to take a small piece of my left hip bone and and put it inside my gums in my mouth. This surgery had to be done so that my grown up teeth could come in properly without falling out. When I was in grade six I had a really tough year, I had a concussion and got very sick this made me fall very behind in school making it even harder for me the next two years of grade seven and eight. These past few years I have had many things in my life happen, I got braces, became friends with many more people and tried new things. Throughout my life I have played many sports such as hockey,lacrosse,soccer,baseball, ball hockey, swimming and football.. I have met hundreds of people over my life time and I even keep in touch with some of them to this day. Family is a huge part of everyone's lives, I live in a household of six with two dogs. My parents and siblings names are Martha,Scott,Alice,Grace,Jack and of course me. I have two dogs with the names Maggie and Toby. I spend most of my time either in my room doing homework or sleeping, hanging out with my friends, or playing sports. I love to do all of these things because they make me feel happy. I spend a lot of time with my grandparents since they live really close. My grandparents take me on trips such as PEI and Arizona, they also love to play music which is where I got my passion for loving the drums and piano.
