| I turned eighteen! I had been counting down about five years for this birthday! |
 | |
| I actually went to prom! |
 | ||
| And graduated! |
 |
| I went on a really cool canoe trip in Algonquin park with three friends! |
 |
| I played my last year of high school basket ball |
 | |
| And starred in my high school's play as Tweedle dee, with my friend Alex as Tweedle dum, in the production of Alice in Wonderland. |
 |
| I helped organise some local youth from my town to attend the 2016 March for Life! |
 | |
| Then right after high school, I spent the coolest five months of my life doing an internship at Sandy Pines Wildlife Center.... |
 | |
| Where I spent a lot of my time working with raccoons! |
 | |
| I may not have travelled very far this year, but I did go to Niagara falls! |
 | |
| And Toronto!! |
And then Christmas happened! Probably one of the better Christmas's to date!
Overall I would say 2016 has been a good year! It was probably the most challenging, in the sense that I tried many new things, and went pretty far outside my comfort zone at times! However, It all paid off in the end! I also made so many new friends! I am so happy to have met all the people I did, and I hope to see them all again someday! I looked back at my list of goals for this year, and I met pretty much all of them!
2016 Goals:
- Develop more spiritually: I have definitely developed more in my spiritual life! Biking 4km to church every Sunday during the summer, really made me think about what my faith meant to me!
- Increase my fitness: I succeeded! I can finally do a push up (several push ups) properly. I also mastered my bridge, I ran my fastest 1500meter, and 800meter race this year! I also did very well in my military fitness test!
- Pass with good grades: I did! All my grade twelve courses I passed with higher then and 80! Except for math, but it was my best high school math grade ever, and it wasn't far from an 80.
- Gluten Free: I hardly cheated at all this year!
- Get a ribbon in Track and Field, and a new school record: I got two ribbons and broke the 800meter senior girls record twice!
My Hopes for 2016 that came true were...
- get good grades
- get an internship
- find a source of income
- Finish the rough draft of a novel
- Get a role in the production of, "Alice in Wonderland"
My favourite song of the year was probably "Beautiful," by Grace Vanderwal. And my favourite movie was obviously "Rogue One!"
My most memorable moment of the year was horse back riding in the hills with a traveller I met from England. It was a beautiful day, and we both had a lot in common, so it was a good time!
So that was my 2016 for you! My goals for 2017 are....
- Increase my fitness level
- Travel outside of Canada
- Finish the second draft of my novel
- Improve in my horsemanship
- Be the best Nanny ever! (yes, that is my new job starting soon!)
- Continue being Gluten Free, and also cut out all candies.
- Develop more spiritually
- Continue blogging
- Get my G2 driving license
Hopefully I am just as successful as I was this year! I am sure I will be though, as long as I put my mind to it!

Anyhow, Happy New Years everyone! I hope your New Year will be full of happy moments, and good times!
