About Me

Your “About Me” page is an introduction about you and a place to practice building your website.  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:

Travel Quotes | The best view comes after the hardest climb. | Anonymous

I chose this quote because I think it is relatable to most teens my age. When were at the time were we go through lots and lots of stuff everyday and all we want to do is give up, all you have to do is remember this quote. Knowing that theres light at the end of the tunnel, or theres a good view at the end, is always very reassuring and helpful.

2) Embedded Video:

I chose this video because I’m excited for the movie to come out.

3) Inspiring Picture:

4) Create a Hyperlink:

 

https://www.leblancschool.com/
