My name is Iris. I’m fourteen, and I go to Heritage Woods Secondary. I went to Maple Creek Middle School last year, and I was in french immersion. This year I was a little sad to stop French, but there are so many new things to try. For my electives, I’m taking photo, foods, and Spanish this year. My favourite subjects are English and Social Studies, but my favourite block is lunch because that’s the only time I get to see my friends during the school day. I play basketball and volleyball, and in my spare time I like to read, play music, hang out with my friends, or go to the gym. I like watching Netflix & Youtube, and using social media to talk to my friends.

I chose this as my favourite Youtube video because I really miss skiing in the winter. This video was filmed with a GoPro, from the point of view of someone skiing in the French Alps. I like that you can hear the sounds of the snow and the wind, and that the video is really bumpy, just like how you would see if you were the one skiing. The person skiing takes a lot of jumps and dangerous risks, which makes it exciting to watch. This video is entertaining and it makes me want to go skiing.

My favourite website is Netflix

Netflix is my favourite website because I spend so much time there. I like to watch movies and shows on there, pretty much anytime. You can lie in bed and watch a movie on a rainy day, or have some friends over and have a marathon. You can download shows to watch offline, or binge on the television. Some of my favourite movies and shows include Flipped, Bridget Jones’ Diary, The Breakfast Club, The Office, The Book of Henry, It, and Gilmore Girls.

This photo of a surfer in the ocean was found on Pinterest. I like it because it’s an aesthetic photo, with the image and the vintage editing. There’s no one else except the surfer in the photo, which is calming. The sea foam is pretty, and the view is really nice. My favourite part is how the editing looks.

I chose this quote by Oscar Wilde as my favourite quote, because I think it’s very true. I don’t want my emotions to limit me, or affect me in a negative way. I don’t want to hold myself back from something because I’m scared, or I’m afraid of the outcome. If something upsets me or angers me I hope I can move on from it quickly and be the best I can.
