Grade 11 was a big year. She decided to try something new. She took an arts class, and a foods class and took 2 semesters of mechanics. She learned to cook, repair, and continued to enjoy herself in doing art. She took a summer camp doing welding as well.
She was able to go to her provincial capital and advise the government that trades and arts would be a good thing to continue.
Her hockey continued to go well and she was looked at with interest for junior recruitment. Joining a feeder team. She credited some of it to her continued practice of her gymnastics routines, even outside of gymnastics.
She did not continue in French, with most not sticking. Instead she took took military history, English 11, math 11, and in science she went into physics, learning about how energy worked.
Over the summer she was able to become a part time apprentice in a mechanics shop, greatly surprising her mom.
