Why SickKids?
This year I have had the unfortunate experience of losing a friend who had a very positive drive for life and made a difference to so many people. It was mentioned that he would not want people to sit in their sadness, but to be active in making a difference in someone else's life.
Through working as a Swim Instructor, I have come across many children who have inspired me and have changed my life in a major way. Having the privilege to work with so many amazing children, including those with mental and physical disabilities, has allowed me to develop a relationship with each and every one. Those children have opened my eyes and have helped me grow into the person I am today.
It seems that in many ways these children have taught me a lot more than I have taught them. I feel inspired by the children I teach, as well as the friend that I have lost and I know with the support of my team we can make a difference in the lives of others.
