Hi everyone! My name is Vea Locsin and I am a grade 12 student attending Charles Best Secondary. I am also turning 17 on September 26 in the following week. I am the youngest of three with two older sisters. My favourite subjects in school are sciences because they challenge me to study smarter, not harder but I also love social studies such as law and history because they are very interesting to me and it is important to have some knowledge about what is going on in the world. This is my first year of taking social responsibility (I wish I took it sooner), and I am so excited to be learning and helping others through teamwork and collaboration. 
A big part of my life is family and travelling. I have family on both sides of my parents that are living all over the world such as the Philippines, Singapore, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and more. My family and I don’t travel as often as we used to because we all work jobs; however, we try to go on road trips or day trips a couple times a year when we can. For example, we crossed the border to the United States a couple times and we took the Ferry to Bowen Island and Victoria. Recently, I started to develop a passion for photography and videography, that the last time we went to the United States, I
vlogged our day trip. It was very fun and relaxing as I was filming throughout the day. I have loved editing content and designing for most of my life so bringing this interest to a new level has been exciting! Everywhere I go, my digital camera or disposable film is always with me.
This leads me to another thing; I am a creative person. I learn best through visualization and I believe I get my creative side from my mother and eldest sister. They taught me how to sew, paint, rearrange me room, write, etc. I may not be the best artist I know, but I definitely express myself best through imagination. I used to believe that a person can only be an athletic person or an art person but growing up, I was both! I played a variety of sports since I was 5 years old such as soccer, ballet, swimming, mixed martial arts, ice skating, softball, and most of all, volleyball and dance! Unfortunately, I have not continued to play my sports since my foot got injured but I still love to play some of them for fun!
I am eager to see what I will be learning and doing for the rest of the social responsibility post and thank you for reading about me!
