First and foremost, I would like to thank those of you who came up on Sunday to check out the school! I had a lot of fun spending time with Burlington Champlainer’s and showing them around. If you haven’t come up yet and would like to, send me a message and I would love to show you around!
A huge matter in Canada is identity. If you were to ask a Canadian what being a Canadian means, the likely response would be non-American. Relating to this theme of identification, I’ve realized that being in a different country forces me to question my own identity. Who am I? What do I want to be? Questions like these come to mind while living in another country, questions I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of much living in the comfort of my hometown. I’ve realized that traveling and exploring is a great way to self-explore. Putting yourself in foreign and unknown situations is the best way to learn about you.
On a different note, this weekend I went to the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade that ran on St. Catherine Street and I must say that I recommend that everyone comes up here next year to experience it. I’ve never been to such a parade as big as it, and I would love to come back to see it again. What’s cool about Montréal is that certain parts of town represent countries or cultures around the world. On Peel Street there are a number of Irish bars and restaurants so after the parade there were masses of people in the middle of the street all celebrating together, it was quite a sight!
Now that the warmer weather is slowly but surely coming, the snow is melting away and undiscovered part of the city is being revealed and I couldn’t be more excited!
