Thank You

My parents came over to Canada from India a few years before I was born. As new immigrants, adjusting to a foreign land, they settled into a lower-income housing community, called Ritchie, just before my arrival. To say that this place has my heart is an understatement. It not only has my heart, it is everything I am. It was like a third parent to me. Looking back on things now, I still feel a sense of guilt in letting what others said about my home and surroundings bother me. I couldn't have asked for a better childhood in terms of surroundings, it is one big playground. Ritchie is surrounded by tennis courts, an outdoor pool, a beach, bicycle path and endless places to explore and get lost into, as most children like to do. I owe it a lot and will forever be grateful for what it has done for me. My passions for dance and music were ignited there. Enough said.
