Inspirational Song

 ArtistAgainstBullying- True Colours I recommend listening to the song "True Colours" by ArtistAgainstBullying as it's an inspirational song, powered to today's youth. This song was created by a group of young artists that are a hit in today's media. They teamed up to show thier support for anti-bullying.

About me

My name is Ashley Cressman, and I am currently enrolled at GDCI in grade 11. I am sixteen years old but my birthday is in exactly one month and 26 days, I will be turning 17. I have a part-time job at Zehrs, and I work as a cashier. I work approximately 10 hours a week, but my hours increase in the summer. I have been working there for about one year. I enjoy free time to myself, hanging out with friends, and working out at the Goderich YMCA. I strive hard to accomplish goals in school and in my personal life. I like to set harder goals for myself so its more challenging, and I feel like I benefited more in the long run. I am a academic student, so goal setting is very important to me. I hope to go to university after my grade 12 year, and get into the health-science field. I hope to be a dietician in my future. I am a happy, outgoing girl but just like everyone else, I do have my dislikes. I strongly dislike spiders, girl drama, and bad grades. I always try to work my hardest in clas...
