Summery 

On May 17th Capt. Jenn Casey was killed in a fatal Snowbird crash in Kamloops, BC. The crash occurred when 2 snowbirds were flying out of an airport in Kamloops when suddenly the jets started to malfunction and one of the snowbirds went into a full nosedive as caught on camera by a local.   From that point two people ejected from the Snowbird before the plane crash into a house. A male who has not been identified ejected just in time and landed in a near by field with only a few injuries and is now stable in a hospital. Capt. Jenn Casey sadly did not make it in the crash and right now we still don’t know exactly how she died. Capt. Jenn Casey was a kind and bubbly women who used to be a journalist and in radio until she joined the Royal Canadian Air Force where she found her love of Snowbirds. She was born and raised in Halifax but called BC her second home as she loved visiting Vancouver island and flying out of Comox Airport. Capt. Jenn Casey’s last mission was to fly across Canada in celebration of the bravery of the frontline workers working to help contain Covid-19. She visited every big city in each province before reaching Kamloops. The Royal Canadian air force gave a tribute to Jenn Casey on Monday , May 18th. 

Reflection

This story is very sad for all of us. It is one of those moments in life where while in the midst of a crisis with a deadly virus which everyone is worrying we receive this horrible and heart breaking news. When really thinking about it all that’s happened in these past months are just heartbreaking. Corona Virus, “world war 3” , Ukrainian jetliner crash in Iran , Australia’s fires , Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s death , killer hornets and now this horrible accident is just really draining and saddening. Considering all of what happened if this was just a normal day than it would be bad news but this we are all stuck quarantine and this is just a piece of sad news to make everyone feel more sad. This article is important to share because of how sad it is for someone who was trying to spread awareness and celebrate the frontline workers with flying across Canada and that story turning with a sad ending is just so depressing. This story is very important to share for the purpose of learning. 

Extracurricular Paragraph

One of my favourite things to do in my spare time is Art , I have been doing art since I could remember, from scribbles to people. I was very creative when I was very young.One of my favourite memories of art was in grade one where we had an assignment to make an ordinary stick into an everyday object. I turned my stick into a paint brush and my teacher was so impressed that I earned a sticker ( now thinking about it , a sticker isn’t my greatest achievement in my life but as a 7 year old it was pretty special). After grade one I felt so inspired to create more art, when I found out my favourite types. I love cartooning , sketching , painting and watercolour! All of these types I love deeply and do almost everyday after school. I would love to make a job out of art one day and go to art school. Sometimes I realize that being an artist full time when Im older will not get me a good income.Thats why I want to become a graphic designer or animator when I grow up and create billboards or create a movie that will inspire little kids to do cool and great things! One of my favourite things to do on the weekends is go with my mom to the Vancouver art gallery, that’s what makes my mother and I’s relationship strong and great. I love artists from Leonardo de Vinci to Klimt. My favourite paintings is The girl with a pearl earring and the kiss. I actually saw the kiss in real life when I went to Vienna this summer. Art is my favourite way to express myself in many ways , it sort of gives me my confidence and how I dress and talk. Without art I don’t know what I’ll be doing right now in this very moment writing this paragraph.  Thats what art means to me. ( Thats me in the photo :0 )
