About Me!

Whoa blogging.
So I'm Kira McDermid. I am in Grade 12. I took writer's craft because I needed another course, and I thought it looked the most interesting! I am enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. I basically just want to improve my writing overall. I don't have any aspirations to be a writer at this point, but who knows?
I love reading so there are of course tons of writers I admire. First, I hugely admire J.K. Rowling, who wrote Harry Potter. She knows every detail about the world she created and I think that makes the books so much better. She also wrote a series that kids and adults love which I think is difficult to do, and yet she accomplished that! Another author that I think is amazing is Jodi Picoult. I actually did my ISU essay on her book My Sister's Keeper in Grade 11, and even after analyzing her book a million times, I still loved and and found new emotion in the story line. Over the summer I read many great books. Although I can't remember the authors' names, its nice to know that there are so many amazing writers out there!
After high school I really want to pursue a career in dance. Preferably teaching. One day, I want to open a dance studio! For university I want to attend either York or Ryerson and get my Bachelor of Arts in dance. Hopefully if this plan works out I will love my life every day!
I love my life so it is not hard at all to get out of bed every morning. What helps with that is choir almost every morning in the W-O Music Department. It is so much fun and I love singing so that is a great way to start off my morning. After school I have dance class or rehearsal. I love the social aspect of dance as well as the exercise that dance gives me. I feel so lucky to have all of these oppertunities!
Beautiful Life - Doc Walker represents how I feel about my life so far.

    Just saying.
    Did you go to the Harry Potter thing at the science center?
    Cailyn went, apparnatly it was amazing, and I was SO JEALOUS.

    And I loved My Sister's Keeper too, but I hate reading it because I always cry at the end.

    I'm applying at York too!
    But for physcology.
