    Student Profile ; Roxane

    Cegep is this whole new world, only known to Quebecers, which most of us go through after High School. Some love the adventure they live in this new estbalishment and some don't. For my part, I may not share my opinion yet, as I have only spent five days in this new place but what I can say is that I've met quite a few interesting people and Roxane is one of them. She's in my english class that Mr. Bonkowski teaches and, upon his request, I will take a certain amount of time to let you know about Roxane.

    First of all, she grew up in a nice caring and loveable family. Her parents have been together since they were in High School and have two young girls. Roxane is the oldest of two. Her younger sister is eight years old. They live with two kittens and Roxane's grandfather. By the smile on her face when she told me about him, I guessed he was quite the funny character. She said they get along very well because they are somewhat alike and share similar opinions.

    Furthermore, Roxane is quite the artist in many domains. She likes listening to music and playing instruments like the guitar, the bass and the drums. She also likes drama, theater, watching and reading different plays. She told me that she likes it so much that she's already begun writing plays of her own and hopes to make a career out of it in the future.
    I can only wish her the best of luck in her studies and plans for the beautiful life she has ahead of her.
    I hope that I've helped you learn more about Roxane.
