Intro

Hello! My name is Anika. I am a student here at Heritage Woods Secondary School. I am an athletic, outgoing person. In the winter I play female hockey, with the Tri-City Predators Female Ice Hockey Association. As well as playing hockey, I recently earned my level 1 in officiating hockey. I am also apart of the Port moody Aquarians summer swimming club, and look forward to joining school swimming and other activities at school. In my spare time, (when I am not playing sports)  I enjoy reading, watching netfix and youtube, and hanging out with my friends and family. I have two little sisters who also enjoy the same sports as I do! That’s all for now 🙂

Quote

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain – Vivian Greene

I think this quote is very inspirational and describes my outlook on life. Having a positive attitude is very important, no matter what you are doing or going through. This quote is basically telling you to, “look at the glass half full.” I try to apply it when things aren’t going so well and always look towards the positive outcome of every bad situation.

Common sense is not so common – Voltaire, the french enlightenment philosopher I learned about this quote while studying the French Revolution last year. I added it here because I thought it was interesting and true.

Clip

Either we heal as a team… or we are going to crumble. “Inch by inch, play by play, till we’re finished.” -Any Given Sunday (movie)

A football pregame speech

Though I am not a football player, I still think this is my favourite YouTube clip. Before my first hockey tryout (ever) my Dad showed me this clip. He said it would “pump me up.” I don’t think it did. Still, before every big game, tournament, or race in a swim meet, somehow it pops up on his phone and he calls me over to go watch it. I think some of the words in this speech are also true in life. He says, “Life’s this game of inches.” Taking life/goals and sports one inch, one shift, or one step at a time, is really good advice that I think everyone should follow.

Website

https://www.youtube.com/ -Youtube is my favourite website because it is a fun source of entertainment. I like to watch videos about; sports, life, DIY’s, & people who vlog their daily life. They are usually really funny! Sometimes I like to watch funny videos with my family.

Picture

This is a picture of the Canadian women’s hockey team, winning first at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014. As a hockey player I loved watching them this year at the 2018 Olympic games. although theyy lost, it was a close game and the U.S. won in a shootout! I chose this picture, because I hope one day I can play high level hockey like them.
