Fourteen years ago, on July 1st, 2003, my parents drove to Toronto all the way from Washington, D.C in their old Honda. From that day forth, my future was decided.
I was born in Scarborough, a multicultural community of new immigrants. I’ve experienced a multitude of interesting things during my childhood so far. The most amazing memory I have is about being lost and found on a Saturday morning when I was six. My dad sent me to attend the Chinese Program at Tam O’Shanter Junior Public School. Upon seeing there was nobody in the classroom, I left the school on my own. I stumbled to a bus stop and waited at an intersection on my way home. A bus driver stopped and called the police for me. They helped me find my parents and made me feel safe. Their kindness prevented any possible catastrophes, for which I am forever grateful. We as Canadians are fortunate enough to live in a peaceful humanitarian society populated by kind-hearted citizens of many cultures.
In my heart and mind, Canada is an idyllic haven for each child. It is a place where humans and seagulls can live harmoniously. During my childhood, I remember playing with flocks of seagulls in the public park near my home. Every year I would return, always delighted to meet the gray-feathered Flappy, my favourite seagull. It wasn’t afraid of me, and wouldn’t fly off, simply hovering above in the blue sky as I ran happily on the lush green grass below. I also made another animal friend, who I would see on my road to school each day. It was a black-furred squirrel which would rest peacefully whilst collecting nuts. Canada is a place where humans and animals can form friendships and grow in harmony.
As a teenager, I have realized how fortunate I am to be a Canadian. This kind of happy and peaceful life becomes even more precious as other countries face various types of crises.
I’m very proud to be a Canadian. At such a magnificent time, I wish Canada a happy anniversary!
