Simi Gill –   I am Sukhdeep Kaur Gill but most of you know me as Simi.  I am a 2016 Oliver Ambassador Candidate, who is proud to be sponsored by the great Kiwanis Club of Oliver. Oliver really does have a special spot in my heart; I’ve been living in Oliver since the day I was born and have never had the heart to leave this small welcoming town. I’m currently preparing for Grade 11 and enjoy Science, Math and Drama but only Improv. I have decided to continue my studies after high school and look to become an orthopedic surgeon. I chose this occupation since it relates to me the most.  My friends would probably agree with me if I said I am prone to sports injuries. Sports, for me, help alleviate stress I feel in my daily life. I play basketball, soccer and recently started playing tennis. I also enjoy binge- watching Youtube videos in my spare time. My main priorities in life are to make my parents proud of the person they have raised me to be and to find true happiness in life. That’s really all I could ever ask for because,  as someone smartly pointed out “happiness is a journey not a destination!”

 

Manvir Ghadu – My name is Manvir Ghadu. I very much appreciate the sponsorship in the Ambassador Program of the Oliver Lions Club. I am a 15 year old girl who is going into grade 11 at SOSS in Oliver. My hobbies include making funny videos for my friends and family, singing, and playing sports. I was the type of girl who thought she had a lot of confidence, but I really don’t and I’m hoping to gain it throughout this program. My biggest dream in life is to become a city police officer in Toronto because I’m not afraid to risk my life every single day to save others.
