I’m Sabrina, a new member of the Juniors Writer Team for Toronto Caribbean Newspaper. Life gives everyone an opportunity to show ones’ skill. I also got a chance, all thanks to Toronto Caribbean Newspaper.
Like my name, I’m my dad’s princess. I’m just eleven, but I would say my life started to change when I came to Canada with my family in 2015. I joined a new school and everything was new: the people, the environment, the climate, the country, the school, and my friends. The only thing that stayed the same is my parents and my beliefs.
My mother stood as a very strong and firm backbone for my brother and I. My mom made me recognize myself. My family encourages my passion for writing, reading and playing guitar. I believe “If there is a will, there is a way.” I started a guitar club with the help of my teacher, and it got a good response in grade four. I was in a rock band in grade five and got the chance to be the MC for our school assemblies.
I graduated from Elementary school with a medal. My dad came from Bahrain to attend that day. It was a very honoured moment for my family.
At my new middle school, I was recognized as a passionate speaker, so I was selected for morning announcements. I believe giving my all gets me really far in life. I can’t wait to start my journey with this opportunity. I dedicate my article to my dad as his birthday present.
