Where did June go? – Kayla Maduk

So many amazing things happened in June I wasn’t able to keep up with my posts.

In June I already wrote about:

The amazing TKD Seminar with Master Kou (my previous instructor), Master Suarez and Master Affatigato from New York City
About giving kick boxing classes at the Relay for Life
My experience travelling to Nova Scotia for the Canadian Eastern Championships and winning Double Gold
The interesting and unique TKD seminar that I went to held by Mr. Tran and his sister Ms. Tran from Quebec City
Another big highlight I had giving two speaking engagements at an Elementary School

What I didn’t have time to write about is the fact my brother graduated from Carleton University with a degree in Commerce. He inspired me so much that I will be following in his footsteps next year. I am so proud of how well he’s done and I know he will have a bright and successful future. Congratulations Greg!!!! Love ya 🙂

Our family has three generations of graduates from Carleton University!

It was also my high school graduation and prom. I was honoured and humbled to be chosen for our year’s Valedictorian. I spent a lot of time preparing and thinking about what I wanted to say. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget.

Valedictorian and Honour Role Society (average over 80%)

There was a lot of pressure speaking in front of 1,000 people including all my peers. I wanted to make it memorable somehow

I was so surprised to win this award. Thank You!

After a long hot day my family celebrated with friends and it was amazing to just relax. I still couldn’t stop smiling. It was such an awesome day and I have so much to be grateful for.

Then the next day was Prom. I was so excited to get all dressed up and have a great time with my friends. I’m going to miss them so much next year but I’m so ready for a new adventure that University life brings.

I couldn’t have asked for a better Prom date. Thanks Mike 🙂

Me and my girls 🙂 We’ve been through so much together over the years

Did I mention that final exams and summatives were in there too? Yikes, it was a crazy but amazing month. Now its time to take a little time to BREATHE and start the next chapter in my life.

Bring on summer 🙂
