I am Charlotte Wilson. Attendee of Dundas Valley Secondary School. SHSM participant. I am 16 going on 17. I love movies and music. I have been taking vocal and dance lessons at the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts for 14 years as well as volunteering in their youth art program every Saturday.

My hobbies include: exploring art galleries, singing songs, watching films, traveling sometimes on a jet plane without knowing when I'll be back again (however at my age there is little of the not knowing part), being one with nature, and taking long walks on the beach.

I try not to take life to seriously. Even though I have my roadblocks it's important to learn from them and to search for how they can make you a stronger person.If there is one thing you should know about me it's that I am a very impressionable person; this is not to say I am naive but more that I am good at reading people and taking in what people do.

As a result I have a lot of people that I look up to for inspiration; celebrities or people around me. Three people I look up to the most are:Johnny Depp, Ellie Goulding, and my Nana.I am inspired by Johnny and Eillie by their unique creativity, individuality, and their confidence. My Nana inspires me to be my crazy self and reminds me that no matter what she will be there to support me.
