My Story

So I was born 17 years ago in Ontario, Canada in a city about an hour east of Toronto, I still live in this city. I have 1 sister who is 15 and a step brother who is 16. My parents got separated when I was in Grade 10, two years ago, now my Mother's boyfriend and son are living with us. I was pretty devastated when they split up, I felt like I had lost my whole family, and I still sometimes feel that way but I am pushing on with my dreams for my self and as I grow I hope I find the security I felt I had lost going through that experience.
I am in grade 12 and hoping(cross my fingers, knock on wood) that I get into university next year. I applied for Food and Nutrition/Applied Human Nutrition to become a Registered Dietitian  I may even continue after graduating from my undergraduate studies and go to med school to be a doctor.
I recently (late Nov/Dec) met the most amazing person ever and am so thankful  for him! My amazing boyfriend is so kind and true and caring and I truly feel blessed that God has placed him in my life.
On that note I was loosely raised Lutheran Christian but didn't really know God until I went to confirmation and even then I had my doubts and questions. When my parents started fighting before they got separated the only thing that got me through that experience was telling myself that God never gives us more than we can handle and that He put me through these tough situations so that I could learn from it and grow from it. I really believe that God wants me to see the bad so that I can appreciate and be grateful for the good things life has to offer. I could not be more thankful!
