My life has revolved around skiing. My whole community did. All my friends back home in Saint-Ferréol-Les-Neiges, Quebec, are skiers. We did all our dumb stuff together, and we were inseparable. They were the ones who I spent all my time with.
I went to camp in the States every summer as a kid, so I became bilingual quickly, which I think is pretty sweet.
I went to a private elementary school in Quebec City and then to a public high school near my house, and I have been a competitive ski racer since before I can remember. So, at one point, I looked for better programs from my local ski club and school. Northwood seemed like a good option, so I just went for it and was hoping for the best.
Northwood is a sweet place. Very few schools have a community like it. Obviously, It has its flaws, like most things in life, but I don’t regret choosing this school.
My teammates are like the brothers I never had. I was extremely close to Pedro and Sam, and I couldn’t say anything bad about the ski team we had and have. I love our team and spending time with them.
I applied to college a month ago to study aerospace engineering while skiing at the same time. I am waiting for a response and hoping to get in to further my academics in aerospace engineering, which I am super passionate about, and skiing, which I obviously love.
