My name is Shanee Stone and I am 19 years old. I am a proud student of Montcalm Secondary School. I am a kind and enthusiastic individual who loves to volunteer and connect with people. I am a good motivator for my peers and I am always willing to help in whatever way I possibly can. In the future my aspiration is to become a successful Social Worker as I enjoy working with children, youth, adults and seniors. My hobbies are singing, dancing, writing poems, and listening to music. My aim in life is to never give up, always strive for excellence and to make a difference in the world.

My name is Rachael Eniola Motunde and I was born in London, England in 2009.. I moved to Windsor, Ontario and later to London in just over a year. I am the oldest of five children, so a lot of responsibility is placed upon me to take care and be an example for them. From a young age I have had an aptitude for math, which has grown strongly over the past few years. With my interest in math, I plan to pursue an education in the field of actuarial science at the University of Waterloo. I am extremely grateful to receive this scholarship which will further aid me in achieving my goals
