- - - - when lockdown hit and I wasn't able to skate or go to school, I was annoyed. I found it hard to adjust to a new normal.
      - If I make plans with someone or a group of people, I find it hard to accept when the plans change or get cancelled.
    - - This test told me I am vulnerable to criticism and take things too personally. I don't necessarily agree with this. I would say I am a pretty understanding person who doesn't take things too personally.
  - - - My G-dad (moms dad) is blind and had one of his legs amputated. Even though he could feel sorry for himself, he chooses to see the positives of his situation. I have learned so much from him and what he has been through and how he's chosen to accept his situation.
      - My grandad (dads dad) likes to tell stories from when he was younger. I like listening to these stories as it allows me to connect with him and learn from his experiences.
  - - - Not only am I loyal to my friends but also my family and those closest to me.
    - - Most of the time, I am easily able to find similarities between me and others. Even if its someone I've just met, it's pretty easy for me to make connections.
    - - When faced with an important decision, I like to think practically. An example of this is when I had to pick my courses for grade 11 and 12.
- - - - It can be difficult to find balance between finding time for myself and for others.
      - When making plans for the summer or other breaks, I like to make sure I make time for friends, family, and myself.
  - - - Setting sport related goals helps motivate me to perform at my best.
      - In order to get work done, I like to start by writing down small goals/tasks to complete which will lead to me completing larger tasks.
    - - Having a plan for the day allows me to be more productive. This allows for me to fit things like physical movement and self care into my day.
  - - - I like to take time to myself whether its for self care, homework, making important decisions or journaling.
    - - Ever since I was little, I have been an active person. Other than sports, I love going for walks, playing board games and doing puzzles in my free time.
      - I am a figure skater and runner and love doing both as they allow me to be active and challenge myself. I like a good challenge and setting goals for myself and both of these sports allow me to do that.
      - I can't sit still for too long and need a balance between for example, working at a computer and performing a science lab in order to learn.
- - - - I underestimate my ability especially in figure skating. Luckily I have a great coach who helps me to stay confident in my abilities.
    - - Like the Myers-Briggs test told me I was inflexible, this test showed I have a similar challenge of adapting to change.
      - I sometimes find myself worried about the future. For example, I have trouble accepting growing up and getting older. With aging comes change and thats something that's hard for me to accept.
  - - - When I put myself out there even if I'm not sure what the future holds, Im most likely going to succeed
      - When I transitioned from grade 8 to grade 9, I took a risk by switching schools. I was scared as I didn't know anyone at my new school except for my sister. Eventually because I put myself out there, I was able to make friends and have a good experience.

      - I used to find myself telling small lies in order to not get in as much trouble as I would if I was fully honest. I do however know now that it's better to be upfront and honest about everything to start as one lie can turn into many other ones.
      - In the past I have told small lies not to keep me from getting in trouble but to keep my friends or family from getting hurt.
    - - Even though I work well on a team and in groups, I sometimes struggle to be a leader.
