Christmas

What are you doing in your Christmas break?

I can’t wait for the break because I know it will be fun. The first week, I am going to do scrapbooking, ski and hang out with my friends. I am so excited to see my friends who are studying in another city. The 24 and 25 of December I will have party with all my family. We are going to play some games and eat delicious meals for sure!

After Christmas, I am going to Baie James with my brother, father and boyfriend to celebrate the New Year.

The 2 of January I am going to go back to Val-d’Or and take it relax before the second semester starts.

I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! I hope you have enjoyed my blog.

Soccer

Practicing a sport is a good way to be in shape, have fun and make friends. Many kind of sport exist, but I prefer team sports. This year I am playing soccer in the Panthers team. We are playing every week in the city league of North Bay. Also, we are going to have two tournaments in January. We will have to practice harder because our opponents will probably be strong. I have some difficulties with my shot, but I am getting better every day.  Besides, I am very happy to play soccer because I have become friend with my teammates. Every practice I have a lot of fun with them. I can’t wait for our tournaments, I am sure we will have a lot of fun even if we don’t win.

Poutchinette

When you were a kid, have you ever wanted a pet? When I was 10, I really wanted a dog, but not my parents. So, they bought me a guinea pig. I named her Poutchinette. She was like my baby; I built her many houses and playgrounds.

A year later, I have babysat the guinea pig of my class. He was a male so; Poutchinette and he had 2 babies together: Caramel and Noisette. After that, Poutchinette had a lot more babies. I had a lot of guinea pigs in my life, but Poutchinette was the first and the last that I had. She had lived for a little more than 8 years which is very old for a guinea pig.

She was beige, white and black. She was so beautiful. Also, she won a picture contest in 2006. I think guinea pigs are good pets for kids.

My Last Job

When you were a kid, have you ever gone to a summer camp? Last summer I worked as a camp counselor and it was an amazing experience for me.

The first reason why it was an amazing experience is because I had to challenge myself every day. I had to be cheery a day even if I felt bad. Also, I needed a lot of organisation because we had to follow carefully the schedule. Furthermore, I had to be creative. For example, I had to wear costumes very often. I had to do many skits too to keep the children engaged.

The second reason why it was an extraordinary experience for me is because I met wonderful people. I met a lot of kids. They were in majority very cute, funny and had good values. I also met their parents; they were very understanding. In addition I met a lot of camp counselor like me. I had the chance to make a lot of friends in this job.

The last reason was this experience was amazing is because I had the salary of the heart. Even if I had a low salary, I get paid by love. Every morning, the children were happy to see me; I was like a hero for them. They always wanted to do like me. I had a lot of fun with the kids last summer.

In conclusion, working as a camp counselor was an extraordinary experience for me because I challenged myself, I met people that I won’t forget and I get paid by love. Last summer I realized that nothing is better than be paid to do something that you like to do.
