About+Me

I'm Kristen Emily Gallant, my family consists of my dad, Harley, my mom, Michelle, my older sister, Jana and myself. We also have a golden retriever named Keela. I am in grade twelve at Peacock Collegiate, the most important things to me are, getting a good education, family, friends, working, and most of all having fun. My close friends are Ashley Baer, Lauren Roberge, Joana Bruce, Katie Burtnick, and Lian Langton. Somethings i enjoy doing, are gymnastics, going to the gym, any kind of art, hanging out with friends or family. I learned two valuable lesson in the last year not to take things for granted, and that grade twelve is a time to find yourself, take chances, and explore, never ever limit yourself. When I am graduated I have a couple of ideas in mind to do future wise. My desicions are going into Graphic Arts at the Art Institute of Vancouver, going to Medicine Hat to become a travel agent, or studying business at SIAST. Another thing i would love to be apart of is World Vision and helping familes around the world. The biggest thing I would want to happen to the world is peace and acceptance.

I was born with Spastic Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy which affects muscle movement in the right side of my body, but it isn't caused by problems in or with the muscles/nerves. Instead it is caused by damage to the brain, which disrupts the brains ability to control movement and posture. Without this ability my muscles have become weak, and small. I'm perfectly able to do what others do, just in a different way. I feel that this is a main reason why I am so shy, accepting it is an on going process for me. I have determination, and my dreams will come true. The sayings "Look at my dis**ability** " and "God didn't make a mistake, I am who I am for a reason" are big encouragements for me and I think others should see it too. My favorite artists are; John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Xaiver Rudd, Kyle Andrews, Lights, and Keith Urban. My favorite movies are Lion King, Finding Nemo, Bad Teacher, and Fubar. My favorite Wii game is a tie between Zoo Hospital (Only can be played with Ashley, because we are the best vet surgeons ever.) and Just Dance. My favorite T.V. series is One Tree Hill.
