Hello my name is Sharon Martin and I am from Behchoko, NWT. I am a participant of NYA Next of 2019. In this program, I get to live on-campus residence and take one course to experience how college really is so I can get ready to go to college on my own.

During my summer, I have to volunteer at The Ottawa Mission. I helped volunteer with picking up garbage off the ground. Also, we nexters have to do a presentation as a group to kids at a camp. We had to introduce ourselves one by one and tell them where we’ll all from. Then we told them about the wildlife, clothing, food, lifestyles and traditional games. I personally liked when we showed them the traditional clothing and games. They wanted to see the clothing more and wanted more time to play the games.

I hope to get out of this is more confidence to speak, plan more ahead and get involved in talking more.

This is Sharon and I want to say Masi Cho for taking the time to reading my blog.
