I remember meeting my very first friend named Valeria.

I remember we went to get sub way with her mom and at her house we played with all of her dolls and had a tea party. when we had to go to bed, I remember becoming very scared and home sick. Her mom had to all my dad so that he could pick me up because I could not fall asleep! that was my first (attempted) sleepover.]]> 2018-11-22 19:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307103695 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307104209 On my first day of grade seven at wind fields junior high, I was extremely nervous. I remember being so happy that I had got a class with my two best friends at the time from my old school, ripple ton public school. I was sitting down at my dest minding my own business being very quiet because I was never that much of an outgoing person. Iran, one of my close friends had been talking too the girl infant of us and I soon learned her name was Penelope. she and I soon became extremely close and from that point on were inseparable. Meeting her is on my life map because she taught me to become the caring, funny and outgoing person that I am today and has really made a huge impact in my life. ]]> 2018-11-22 19:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307104209 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307104809 in grade 1 at rippleton, I was playing with my best friend at the time named Amy. we were playing on this long metal slide that the school used to have. I was jumping off the slide with her for fun and I landed wrong and fell on my arm. my mom was there and she walked me home. At first it did not hurt a lot, but as we were walking home it started to throb and swell up. we ended up going to the hospital and the x ray showed that it had been fractured. that was how I broke my first bone]]> 2018-11-22 19:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307104809 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307107887 We had already had our first dog, Cali. she was about 1 and a half years old. she was a Hungarian vizsla. This breed was nicknamed the "Velcro dog" because they get very attached to their owner and can be very needy. my parents were on Holliday in Mexico without me and my brother and decided on that trip that Cali could use a friend. We found out probably a week later when they took us to our breeder and had said that we could choose the puppy we would be taking home. We named our second boy Finn. Having two dogs in the house hasn't only taught me responsibility with taking care of them, but has also brought another two members into our family.]]> 2018-11-22 19:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307107887 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307107906 my first Holiday was going to Florida with my mom and dad. I was only two months old and we were going to go see y grammy and grumpy at their holiday house. my mom and dad said that on the plane I could not stop crying and I embarrassed them! it was my first of many adventures during my life.]]> 2018-11-22 19:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307107906 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307312628 when I was two years old, my parents started to teach me how to swim in my grandparents pool in Florida. they would put water wings on me and let me float around the pool and take my first strokes. although I was technically not swimming by myself it was a big start for me!]]> 2018-11-23 18:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/307312628 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/310676481 as a very young child I as crawling everywhere. until I was able to take my first steps.

I remember that I was so scared of having to meet new people and I cried on the first day!]]> 2018-12-03 22:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/310680506 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/310708701 A huge transition for me was going into grade 5. it was my first and last split classroom. we had grade 5s and 6s in our class. I never used to be a very social person ad was very easily intimidated my older grades. I remember coming home on the first day of school and balling my eyes out because I hated my class. it was the first time I really had to make connections with people I wasn't necessarily that comfortable with. it really help me become a more outgoing person and helped shape me to who I am today.]]> 2018-12-04 01:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/310708701 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314822626 Earning privelges was a huge part of getting a phone and moving into middle school. as a young kid who had just met so many amazing new people, I wanted to be able to go and hang out with them out of school. being able to go places without my parents after school or on the weekend was a really big deal for me. it really made me feel like I was growing up and gave me a sense of independence. ]]> 2018-12-14 20:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314822626 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314822693 over the summer of grade 9, I had been thinking about ways to earn more money because I had started to spend a lot of money on clothes and food when I was out. I took maters into my own hands and texted my aunt who manages a grocery store called summerhill market. she gave me an email to submit my resume to and I got the job. on my first day I was scared to death, but my coworkers were very welcoming and helped me through the learning process. It was a huge step for me. I now had a steady flow of income that I could use for whatever I wanted without having to ask my parents. my job has also taught me a bit more about the working world. I feel like the experience I gain on this job will help with applying for future jobs and gaining experience.]]> 2018-12-14 20:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314822693 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314822776 In the middle of the year in grade 8, I was at Penelope's house on the weekend and I was eating dinner with their family and they were talking about how they go to Greece every summer for a month or so. We were talking and joking about how they would take me one day. low and behold one day my mom and dad had handed me a letter out of nowhere. I opened it and it was a plane ticket to meet Penelope's family in Greece. so when the time came I flew there by myself and met them at the airport in Greece. I stayed there for two weeks and flew back with their family. this year my whole family is planning a trip to Greece together. ]]> 2018-12-14 20:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314822776 emma_proud https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314826140 Going into grade 10 was a massive transition for me. it was my first year of high school. I was very nervous on my first day with the fear of not getting the right classes or getting a bad teacher. I was also very intimidated by the older grades and was not very pleased that I would have to be in school with them all the time. so far it has been a learning experience for me making a ton of new connections with people and become distant from others. the work has also been very chalendgng to keep up with because we have been learning things at such a fast rate, and I am also the worst procrastinator you will ever meet. so far the year has been tough but has also been the most fun. as for the end of my life map, I will have many more new and fun experiences, but also will go through some hard times as well. if I have learned ANYTHING from writing this, it is that you should always focus on the things you have been able to accomplish instead of your failures.]]> 2018-12-14 20:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_proud/3xal4aj7pt54/wish/314826140
