Tell us about yourself: Hello all! I'm YummyMochie. but you can just call me Yummy. I live in Ontario, Canada, and I am in Grade 10 (or in my sophomore year, if that's what you call it). Some of my favourite subjects in school include French, English and science. I really want to live in Montreal for a while when I graduate post-secondary school, so I intend on taking French all throughout high school. In the future, I'm thinking of either a career in English, probably something like an editor or a publisher, or sports medicine; something like a physiotherapist. In my Grade 9 year, I was on the honour roll for both semesters, and I'm hoping to achieve the same this year. I'm not involved in any clubs in school, per se, but I am actively involved in school sports. I don't play a sport in the fall season, so I can have some time to get myself organised for the start of the school year. Winter season is my absolute favourite, because it means I get to play hockey with my school friends. In the winter season, I play for the varsity boys hockey team. For school hockey I play forward; left wing to be specific. During the summer season, I play for the varsity boys soccer team, and I play goalie for that team. Last year, I was nominated for the Rookie of the Year award for both teams for our school's athletic banquet. I won the Rookie of the Year for hockey, but not for soccer. Outside of school, I play rep hockey in the winter and house league soccer in the summer. I just recently made the Midget BB team for my hockey organisation, which is the second tier team. Hockey has been a part of my life since I was about 7 years old, and I want it to stay with me until the day I die. It's taught me a lot about myself, and every year it's different, yet familiar. There's something about slapshotting a puck that really relieves stress., and something about smushing somes into the boards that just takes the anger right out of ya. Soccer in the summer is just something I do to keep active. As well, I run occasionally with my mom.
Apart from school and sports, some of my hobbies include reading, writing, listening to music, watching Netflix or YouTube, hanging out and talking with my friends and gaming. I want to talk about writing, because it is something that I really enjoy and want to pursue in the future. Before I started writing, my mind was always filled with ideas of dystopian worlds, and I found myself daydreaming a lot. Once I started to put my ideas to paper, I've been more focused, and my head isn't crammed full with writing ideas. Onto gaming, some of my favourite games are Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Mortal Kombat, the Sims and Minecraft. One of my all-time favourite games is Minecraft. I discovered the PE version first and I fell in love right from the start. You can literally do anything in this game. It's a little mind blowing. And it keeps getting better with every update (well maybe not 1.9, but that's a whole different topic). Minecraft has just been a great creative output for me, and I am so glad to have discovered it.
How many hours a week can you be active: 10-20 hours
Why you'd be good for the role: * After months of pondering, I've picked some traits about myself that I believe make me a good candidate for being a Admin. My leadership skills, my organisation skills and my maturity.
I've had lots of experience with being in a position of leadership. I would say that I am a natural born leader, and I love to be in charge. I babysit for friends and family whenever needed, and was a kindergarten helper back in elementary school. As well, starting mid-October I will be volunteering for a fundamental hockey organisation that teaches little girls the basics about hockey. Also, I refereed U9/10 and U12 houseleague soccer this past summer. The U12's had attitude sometimes, which caused a bit of a difficulty at the beginning, but as I progressed I was able to prove my point that I am the referee, and what I say goes. Not only did the players have attitude, but the coaches. Coahes would try and argue calls, but I was able to show them that I made the right call. This means I can be firm and strict, but friendly and accommodating when it's needed. I have a lot of patience when it comes to helping kids, as well as older players. I have been to leadership camps and classes where I've literally been taught what a good leader is. As well, A few years ago I was granted the title of one of three Assistant Captains of my hockey team. From that experience, I learned what it was like to be in charge of a decent amount of people. Not to mention that they were rowdy hockey girls. As well, I learned how to take charge in situations with little to no organisation. I also figured out how to properly deal with people who broke rules. Lots of the time it was inter-team drama. An example of my leadership on Minecraft, is that I am the mayor of a town that I started back in February. The number of residents wavers between 15 and 30 people. I've just recently had to deal with a case of theft in my town, and I was able to settle the problem. As well, in the past I've had many town rule violations, and I was able to deal with them in the proper and professional way, according to the town rules I have set in place. I take being a mayor seriously, because being in charge of a town is something that I can learn a lot from, and those lessons can be transferred into real-life situations.
Moving on, I am a very organised person. I am always one to hand in assignments and papers for the due date. I am also able to manage my time very well, to plan my night. For example, let's say I have hockey at 8:00. I'll do some of my homework at lunch, as well as work on it in class. If there is anything left, I do it immediately when I get home, and still have time for an hour or so of Minecraft. Last year, I was able to play on two competitive hockey teams, keep up with school work and still score all above 80's on all of my classes. During all of that, I was still able to have time each night to go on my computer. There isn't really any other way to elaborate on this, so I'll leave it there.
Lastly, my maturity. I consider myself mature for my age, and I've been in quite a few situations what require lots of maturity. I won't get into the depressing details, but I will tell you guys that I've dealt with some pretty sad times and still am able to maintain a smile on my face when I wake up in the morning. I've had people come and go. Over time, I've lost good friends, dealt with probably too much ridiculous girl drama that has escalated way too far, I've lost loved ones, and it's molded me into the person I am today. Tough experiences were used as lessons. I learned how to be mature before I even knew what maturity was. I still have fun whenever I get the chance, because I more or less missed out on quite a bit in times of trouble. I'll stop with all the mushy gushy sad stuff now. Again, I'll mention the point that I have a town of my own that I run mostly on my own, and I am able to keep it in order. I am very proud of my town, and hope one day to see it grow into a big city (my gosh do I sound like a mom). I also want to mention my mind-over-matter mindset. Another way you could say this is that I am a determined person, and when I put my mind to something, I will put my best interest into it. Overall I feel like I am a responsible person, and I feel like the next step in my career is to be a staff member. I believe it will be an awesome learning experience for me. [Applying for Admin]
