My Life Line :)
When I was born!
I was born on March 4, 2000 between 11:45 pm and 11:55 pm (my mom thinks I was born at this time although she left my birth certificate at the hospital {Etobicoke general}... way to go mom!).
My bestie!!!
I have known my best friend since I was born. She is also my cousin and older than me by 2 years. My mom and her mom were best friends in College as well as my dad and her mom! They all moved to Canada together and we became one big family.
My little sister was born!
My little sister as in two years younger. She was born on January 31, 2002 at 8 am to 10 am in the morning at the same hospital as me and my cousins were born at! In the picture I am the one getting earrings while she is on the bottom looking at me and getting jealous.
My little brother was born!
My little brother is the cutest thing I have ever seen. He was born on May 26, 2005 at the same hospital... I don't know the time because my mom doesn't know. He was born with a big head and huge ears which suits him... kind of like a monkey!
First Visit to America
My first visit to the states was when I was 12 years old. It was across the Canadian falls to the American side. The date was June 19, 2012. I was really happy except the part of waiting at the border for hours and just staring at peoples faces that are also waiting.
Grade 8 graduation.
This was the most funnest day of middle school. I loved my graduation because I loved my dress and the fact that it was in a Banquet hall while other schools had it in rec centers. It was on June 26, 2014. I also got the language arts and media medallion and only two students get it from the graduating year.
My best friend!
My best friend that is not related to me is Simren Basra. Yes she has the same first name as me but with an "e" so shes different. She is 5"9 and super tall for me! She is funny, loving, caring, and a scary cat. We were in the same class in grade 6 but hated each other than and became best friends in grade nine so 2014 at the starting of the school year.
My mom became a permanent teacher!
My mom was a supply teacher in Brampton for over 17 years. She taught Punjabi, Hindi, and English. On July 28, 2015 she got a permanent job at Dunrankin Drive in Mississauga and is teaching Kindergarten now! I always remember that day because I was volunteering at her class that day :P {I'm good luck}!
My sister got accepted in High Schools.
Siblings getting accepted in high school isn't a big deal except when you get accepted in all of them you applied for. My sister applied for IB, IBT, AP, and scitech for high school. And she got accepted in ALL of them which was surprising since I got accepted in only 3 of them... but I came to Louise Arbour.... sad life.
My Sweet Sixteen
My birthday is on March 4,and it was supposed to be in a Thursday but thanks to leap year it was on a Friday. I celebrated with my family and friends on Friday because they gave me a surprise. But with my school friends I celebrated on Saturday March 5 at Montana's.
My favourite things!
Criminal Minds
My absolute most favorite television show is Criminal Minds. I have watched all the seasons and have a huge crush on Spencer Ried! He is so smart and funny. This show talks about criminals and how they mind works... that the title. And also physiological understandings.
My favorite song
My favorite songs are definitely Punjabi songs. However I also like Fifth Harmony and Little mix as well as One direction so I like their songs. My favorite song from each of these bands are; {Fifth harmony} Work at home, {Little mix} Hair, and {One Direction} Perfect! I like them because there beats are nice and lyrics!
Poutine
My absolute most favorite food is Poutine. I love cheese, and fries, and gravy. My favorite place to get it is at New York Fries, or sometime MacDonald. This is my favorite meal!
My Leadership Style?
My leadership style after doing the survey is a mix. I got well developed styles, and styles need some further development. For well developed the main 2 that I got were Affiliative meaning I value and create emotional bonds and harmony. I am a caring person in short. The second thing for this I got was Coaching. This means I develop people and allow them to try different approaches in open ways. I always motivate them to try new things. For Styles need that need further development, I got Visionary meaning I like to see the future, and democratic meaning I ask peoples views before doing something.
My influences
My Family
My first main influence is my family. They influence me the most because they are the people I spend most of my time with. They always agree with the right things I do and stop me from doing the wrong things. My family has my mom, sister, and brother. And what I do and how I live my life is influenced by them. Especially my mom because I always looks at her as my role model and want to be like her.
My Religion
The second biggest influence I have in my life is mt religion. My religion is Sikhism and what we are taught is what I think of and make decisions. For example we are taught that everyone is the same, race, gender, and culture. We shouldn't hurt anyone's feeling because there will be a time when we have to pay for what we did. And this influences me a lot. I follow what our gurus told us and make sure I don't disobey them.
My Friends
The third biggest influence that anyone has on my life are my friends. I sit with them at lunch, after school, and outside of school. If there is someone else I spend a lot of time with other than my family, its my friends. They have the same beliefs as me and they are always positive. With them being positive, I am. What they do influences me. My friends are; Simren, Mehar, Gagan, Sharondeep, Anmol, etc...
My Influences
MY FUTURE!?!?
Honestly, I don't know how my future is going to be and i'm just a person that goes with the flow. But I have some of it planned out;
Medical
My interests are medical fields for my career. Since I was a child I love doctors, dentists, physiologist, eye doctors, and other medical professionals. I am fascinated by how they work and love every thing that is in the medical field.
McMaster University
My favorite university is McMaster in Hamilton. I love the programs they offer and just the community. I want to go to McMaster for university and graduate! It has been my dream to go here since High school and want this dream to come true! I will not live on campus though because my mom said so, which means I will commute.... which means I will have a CAR! Mercedes, or Escalade!
Future residency
My family (symbols)
Travelling
My family likes to travel a lot and we have been to many places. Mostly in the states for shopping and touring. We have been to India (3 times), Brussels, Vancouver, Pennsylvania, Buffalo, New York, and Pittsburgh.
Dance
My family loves dancing, and partying. We host party's most of the time or go to parties. We are more interactive people so we like being surrounded by others.
Dog!
My family loves dogs. My mom had 7 dogs when she was a kid in India. My dad had 1. My moms was called Jimmy all seven times,and my dads was Jacky. We don't have a dog yet but we always babysit my cousins dog on the weekend (in picture). His name is Buddy and he is 9 years old.
Sports
We are very athletic and love sports. My brother plays hockey, basketball, soccer, and cricket. My sister plays European handball, soccer, and cricket. My mom plays....nothing! My dad played badminton (he was a badminton champion in India), Ice hockey (also a champion), and soccer. I play ultimate frisbee, badminton, basketball, soccer, hockey, and baseball.
Love
Another major symbol that represents my family is love. We are very affectionate and love people. What that means is we simply don't hate anyone... although we can highly, highly dislike someone, we don't hate. We never hold grudges against anyone which makes us who we are!
S.H.I.N.E
In short, my family is S.H.I.N.E. We are successful, honest, inclusive, nurturing, and excellent! This is one word that sums up my family and describes us.

Reflection of Quizzes
The most helpful test to help me determine who I want to be was the My Blueprints 'Learning Styles' quiz. These test has multiple questions for you to answer and then tells you which career best suits you. For me, I want to be in the medical field, but then again there are so many fields to choose from. But when I did this test, it bets choose the ones that suited me when I did the test and narrowed them down. Then at the end they had a compatibility test with it to choose from which made it more accurate for what job suits you the best. The jobs that suited me the best were Registered nurse, Ophthalmologist, and family physician.
The least helpful test was the right or left brain test, because there were only a few questions to answer. When the test was completed only a few descriptions of the results were given and other than that it was kind of useless for me.
My four strengths are that I am caring, responsible, organized and that I am athletic. I am caring person as in I am concerned fro people and always care about their emotions. I am responsible meaning I take care of everything I do and my stuff. I am organized which means I have everything planned out most of the time, and lastly athletic meaning I love sports and play sports.
My four weaknesses are I am sensitive which means I always pay too much attention to what other people have to say about me. I am stubborn sometimes depending on what the topic is or if someone is touching my personal stuff. I am told that I am naive meaning I let people take advantage of me. Lastly, I am lazy depending on what I did. Like after I walk a marathon, or on the weekends on general!
What I learned about myself is that I am not only athletic but also an organized freak! I also learned that I wasn't really sure about what I want to be but after looking at my personality with the quizzes, I know that I will fit best in the medical field and that I am more capable of becoming someone other than what I thought. What surprised me was that I always thought that I am strong and hard but after answering the questions and getting these results, I realized that I am sensitive than I thought. Other than that, nothing else surprised me.
