Your “About Me” page is an introduction about you. As you get more comfortable, it becomes an opportunity to express who you are and share the things you like to do. Your blog is where you can share your growth and experiences of Digital Learning at Terry Fox Secondary. As you customize this page DELETE the INSTRUCTIONS so that only your work is published and when you share this page, share the published page (not the edit page).

Tasks
1) Meaningful Quote:
This quote means a lot to me because if you try to act like everyone else you will never see your true self and your potential.
If you're always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you will be - Maya Angelou
2) Favorite Video:
This black man named Darryl was playing piano one day until a member of the KKK talked to him because Darryl’s music was so good.
The member was talking about how he was in the clan all of the sudden Darryl asked to call the local leader and he said sure, Darryl was talking
and they scheduled a meeting. When Darryl met the local leader the leader had a body guard and he was armed for the first time they met until the leader warmed up to Darryl. Darryl was telling the clan local leader his opinions and because he sat down and talked to the people Darryl’s hard work
made the leader quit after a few years and the rest of his followers quit. Overall he made 200 people quit the KKK.
This is my favorite video because he was the people in the KKK’s first black friend so that’s why the KKK was thinking and they quit.
3) Inspiring Picture:
I chose this picture because it caught my eye and I used to walk near lakes and mountains and saw the view.
