asked all of his watchers to complete a poll based on what we believe we have achieved, and what we would like to achieve before we die. I thought about how little my watchers actually know me, so I thought that I might post this. I didn't really answer the latter, but I might just do that here.

P.S. This post seems -to me- really rather egotistical and self flattering, so please feel free to skip it if you wish.

"As for me, I graduated from Helen Gorman Elementary school, South Kamloops Secondary school, and from Capilano University with my certificate in Illustration and Graphic design.
I am currently at Thompson Rivers University and am completing the final semester of my diploma/"we will work you like a degree, but call it a diploma." in Graphic Design. Graduation: April 2011

I have up to my Sr. Brown in Karate. I have team led / instructed, sparred and am trained in Sword, Bo Staff and Knife work. I have also taken swimming, Ballet, Jazz and Gymnastic lessons.

I have been sailing since I was 11,(Which is now 12 years and counting.) and have circled Vancouver Island on the Tall Ship "Pacific Grace", and have participated in a Tall Ship Festival in Tacoma Washington, USA.
I sailed across part of the Pacific ocean (Oahu to Kauai, Hawaii,USA and then back to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.) in 2008.

I was one of the lead characters in a Musical in 2007 during the Christmas season.

I have been a volunteer /instructor / LIT and or a Counselor at: Morning Star Bible Camp, Anvil Island/Daybreak Point Bible Camp and Pioneer Pacific.

I was part of a Local Author / Writer / Illustrators group for two years, one of which I spent as both the secretary for the board, and an executive director.

I have been the worship leader for our Young Adults group at church, and a Focus group / leadership board member for the YA as well. I have also been involved with the Graphic Design team at my church for the last four years.

I have graduated from the DAAD( Digital Art and Design program ) with Dean's List honors at TRU. I have been freelancing for the past 4 years, and am currently working for our Provincial Government as a designer for our Sign Program, for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. whoo mouthful. I build signs, maps and other design pieces.

You can also find me out at the range every so often with the boys. Handguns and scope work are my specialties.

I am a passionate Freeride / All Mountain rider. I ride a 16.5" frame 2008 Woman's Special Team Edition Rocky Mountain Slayer. It is the love of my life. Along with my Washburn Acoustic and my brand new Smokeburst Blue Paul Reed Smith 25th Anniversary Edition Custom 24 SE (Electric Guitar for those of you who don't Gear-Speak). X)

But most of all, I consider my greatest achievement to be in the person who I am. I am a good friend, a wonderful sister, a confident, a constant support and trustworthy. People rely on me when they need things done, and know I will be there to help in whatever way I can. I am and always will strive to be an awesome daughter, granddaughter and niece. I believe that I am loving, loyal, noble, optimistic, determined and focused. I hope that before I die, I can make a positive mark on the world around me, but mostly with the people around me. Finally that I lived in such a way that people could always see Christ's work in me."
