Vanessa Arthur's profile

You might think you know someone just because you've spent the last three months in class with her talking about the weather or about the last history test but if you never asked yourself what are this person's goals, what are this person's achievements, what's her interests and what are her skills, you might be surprise of the answers just like I was when I "interviewed" Vanessa Arthur.

She, just like anyone else, has a few goals. One of them is to be accepted in the SENS option at the St-Laurent's college. She also wants to travel to South America to help people in need and help to built schools. She wants to finish college with good marks and Vanessa would like to have a good political career.

What's so surprising about the things she achieved is that she learned english by herself. She did have english class in high school just like any other students from Montreal (they force you to read a text about a black cat and they ask you questions like ­"What was the cat's color?".And they call that learning english...) and now she's in a high english level class.

Vanessa likes politics and geography. She also listens to rock and pop music all the time.
Her social network is her family and friends, from high school and college.

Because of her geography class she's abble to locate and to name the capitals of all of the contries in the world.
