I grew up in Gqeberha, South Africa, but in 2018, my family moved to Lake Placid. I live with my parents, and I have an older sister in college. We moved to Lake Placid because we had been visiting during the winter for my sister’s hockey and my figure skating, and we decided that Northwood would be a good place for both of us.
I’m very passionate about activities that express my emotions like dancing, figure skating, and music. When I express myself through dance, I feel free and happy, and overall, it’s a lot of fun for me. I’m also passionate about hard work. I will work hard and try my best for something that I want. There are a lot of things you can’t control in life, but effort is definitely something you can control.
Something I’d like people to know about me is that I am friendly, and I like talking to people. I really like hearing people’s life stories because it shows who they are as people, and why they are the way they are.
