I went to Hamilton-Wentworth school board for a tour of schools. I listened to a seminar about integration of people with disabilities. One day I would like to write a script about people with disabilities.

My mom took me to the ballet, the symphony and the opera and musicals like “Mamma Mia”. We also went to Stratford to see a play written by Shakespeare.

One time I acted in a play called “Once upon a Mattress”. Mom came to see me.

When I was little, my mom took me to Florida. I loved walking on the beach with my mom. We went swimming in the ocean. The waves were so big they knocked me over and my mom helped me up.

One of my favourite things to do with my mom was shopping. We shopped for food, clothes and musical stuff like oldies music.

My mom was a great cook. She cooked the best wienerschnitzel. She made ice cream on Sundays. We had ice cream floats, yum. There was coffee with ice cream in a float. She made the best soft boiled eggs.

The most wonderful places that I have visited are Cuba and Walt Disney World. Cuba was a nice tropical place with good singing. I also exercised with a senorita. The ocean was salty and I went in to swim. I enjoyed the scenery and the coffee drinking. I went with my mom to Cuba. She loved that place because she loved the sun and the animals. We saw flamingos with one leg up.

Walt Disney World was really big. It was wonderful going on rides like the Rockin’ Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror with my mom. We saw how they made the movie “Indiana Jones And The Last Crusaders”.

These two trips remind me of warm memories of my mom. Oma and Opa are my grandparents. They lived in Germany. They died many years ago. I only met them once when I was travelling to Germany. Uncle Fritz is my dad’s uncle.

My favourite moment in my life was being with my mom. She taught me everything I know.
