Hey I’m Kylar and I’m in Powell river BC, I got here on the 21st of June and I’m having fun where I am, the scenery looks amazing and wonderful! I honestly expected less greenery here, but I was surprised that Powell river is basically a secluded place, but still this place is amazing.
What I’ll be doing while I’m here is volunteer work experience and my summer assignments, where I’ll get my work experience is the BC SPCA which is a animal shelter, and for my summer assignments I’ll be doing that during my whole stay here, which will give me my high school credits.
So far, I went to a concert the first or second day while I was here. The concert was amazing! There were so many people there, and the music was cool. And there many different art/craft venders, as well food venders, and I have also been to a bunch more community events, and my favorite one is Canada day!
I have learned that there are more stores here than where I’m from, and more schools as well, and that kids in schools have more things to do in the summer when school is out. Also they have a farmers market and it’s cool!
Some things are different in the south than in my community. There are a lot more fences here than where I’m from, and I find that quite weird. Also there are more job opportunities and places to work – back in my community we only have few places to work.
A funny story that I have is that me and my friend always spend a butt load of money at anything we’re at, no matter what it is, we always spend some money before we leave. And at dinner time we always get into some kind of fight, but we still get along.
And in all honestly, this has been the most amazing trip I have ever been on, I don’t leave my home all that much, but to be this down south is amazing! And I’m having the time of my life down here! But I also can’t wait to go back home, while Powell river is amazing, I miss my home and 24 hours of sunlight.
