Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) was a commission active in Canada from 2008 to 2015. It was organized by parties of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which was an agreement between the federal government of Canada and over 86,000 Indigenous peoples in Canada who attended residential schools as children between 1879 and 1997. In June 2015, TRC released a summary report of its findings along with 94 "calls to action" regarding reconciliation between Canada and Indigenous peoples. The final report included that the residential school systems mounted to cultural genocide. I always support Indigenous rights such as equality, justice, rights to land and title, language rights, cultural and traditional rights, and many more. I have Métis, Algonquin, Ojibwe, Mi'kmaq, Montagnais/Innu, and Shawnee in my family background. We also have one residential school survivor in my family, who's still alive today and they're an elder in the Aboriginal community.

Indigo Books & Music Inc., commonly referred to as Indigo, is a Canadian bookstore company and it eventually merged with Chapters. It's considered as one of Canada's largest book, gift, and specialty toy retailers. Me and my mother order a lot from Indigo to buy birthday or Christmas gifts. I usually like to order manga and Beanie Boos plushies. Indigo has inspired my love of reading, which helps me to learn new words I can add to my current vocabulary and gain new creative motivation. Reading also helps with my writing abilities because I'm constantly being exposed to different writing styles and I can focus on the mechanics and stylistic choices of genres I'm interested in. I can approach varied works of literature in a different perspective, which can help me to find my own style. It also furthers my creativity because they are one of my sources of inspiration when thinking up new character or story ideas.

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is a government agency that's responsible for the civilian space program, aeronautics research, and space research. They're important because they contributed to world-changing industries and discoveries such as satellite telecommunications, GPS, remote sensing, and space access. I personally like what NASA does because I find space science fascinating. I also love outer space and its heavenly bodies such as stars, constellations, meteorites, planets, and galaxies. They have always captured my attention with space exploration and astronomy. They have also inspired me to explore, learn, and build a better future that suits me. With my love of astronomy, I sometimes incorporate specific space-like elements into a few of my artworks such as drawing constellations or phases of the moon.

Plastiboo is a freelance artist located in Alicante, Spain. They really enjoy working on game concepts, small projects, characters, and animation. They also enjoy using mixed media in their artworks. They are one of my personal favourite social media artists because I find their works very fascinating. I also love how they mix horror, fantasy, and cutesy stuff in their work. Plastiboo is one of my major inspirations for my ever growing artistic abilities and creativity. They also inspire me to be more expressive and creative with my own personal artworks and artistic styles. One of my favourite projects from them is the HUMAN PARTY TERMINATION because they were able to achieve something that's completely unique on its own, I adore monster designs, and I really like the concept of children having their own familiar that's personally connected to them.

I created this art piece in January and it was a part of a big Media Arts RST. We were given choices to talk about any type of artist and base our artwork on one specific art career. I chose a tattoo artist because I thought it’ll allow me to express my creativity further and add more meaningful symbolism. It’s important to me because I got an overall mark of 100% in Media Arts. It's one of the art pieces I’m proud of and I love the symbolism I applied to it. It also helped me improve my artistic skills and try something different until I find a style that suits me.

This is my second History assignment, which focuses on what a WWI soldier would experience in the trenches and Western Front. I really enjoyed writing it because I felt like I was able to give a very clear and authentic view of a soldier’s life on the Western Front. It’s important to me because I’m really interested in history as a whole, was able to apply what I learned appropriately and I also achieved a perfect mark.

This Honour Roll certificate was awarded to me by Notre Dame High School. They gave it to me near the end of the 2019 school year. I earned this certificate by being recognized for a continued commitment to always achieve excellence and success. It’s important to me because it proves that I’m always willing to put effort into my work. It also shows that I always try to keep my average by striving for excellence and success.

These are two of my favourite cyberpunk manga, AKIRA (left) and BLAME! (right). I got these as birthday and Christmas gifts from my family, who are aware that I absolutely adore manga. They’re both extraordinary cyberpunk mangas that have their unique storytelling, complex themes and interesting ideas. AKIRA is influential because it introduced anime and manga to the West, while BLAME! has a de-emphasis on text and complicated storytelling. It’s important to me because I really enjoy these classics in my expanding manga collection. I also personally enjoy the sci-fi/cyberpunk genre and something that’s very unique and worthwhile. It has also helped me expand my creativity and love of manga.

I’m interested in a myriad of things such as history, psychology and sociology, philosophy, science, law, mythology and urban legends, art, and literature.

I enjoy writing poetry as well as character and story ideas because it helps me to express my creativity in a different form. I really love reading and collecting manga, especially ones that have piqued my interest because it’s nice to read something else that isn’t just novels, poetry, or short stories.
