Hello, my name is Olivia Hudson and I’m currently in Grade 11. My goal this year for my STRIVE project is to explore how I can use content creation to develop an engaging and appealing platform that encourages new and current readers to join my community and find new and diverse books to love. I’ve always been an avid reader, and in 2021 I created an Instagram account called @literary.olivia where I can share my love of reading with others. It brought me to a new phase of my reading journey, and I was exposed to diverse books which helped me further develop my reading taste. After building this community, I would not like my platform to grow stagnant because there’s no purpose behind it. I would like to continue my reading journey by bringing more people along for the ride, giving them an opportunity to develop their reading taste and find a home in reading like I have. Olivia's Blog
My name is Emily, I am in grade 9. My STRIVE project is training my horse, Willie. I got him this summer and I hope to train him! My goal is to break him so I'll be able to ride him, or even stand up in the saddle and swing a rope off him. Emily's Blog

Hello, my name is Peyton, I'm currently in grade 9.For my STRIVE project I'm writing a novel. I have been writing my own novels for almost three years now and am very passionate about all of them. I hope to learn new ways of writing, expand on my vocabulary, and become better at grammar.
My name is Victoria Morissette and I'm in grade 9. For my first Strive project I chose to do photography. My grandpa started teaching me when I was 9 and since then my skills have improved a great amount. In the past few years I've been trying to capture my kittens in their natural habitat (playing around outside with the other kittens) and I definitely underestimated how hard it would actually be. They are so active and always moving around. It takes a lot of patience that I've had to learn over the years. As much as you try to make it perfect it's not always going to come out how you thought but I love capturing small moments that mean a lot to me and will keep capturing them no matter how long it will take. One day I hope to be able to capture special moments for others too. I will be learning more about light settings, safety around my camera and the areas I'm in, camera techniques in the early days, and so much more! I hope to restart my instagram page to share what I learn and see with the world.
