Shannan

My life and goals

Hello, my name is Shannan and I'm 31, going on 32 in June.

I'm a very talented artist, who is looking into forming my art collection into an exhibition with a full presentation on how my art pieces were created.

The exhibition and presentation is my number one goal for 2011, so keep an eye out for my advertisement signs and start saving your money as all my pieces will be for sale.

Although art is the passion of my life, I still find time to go aqua-jogging at the famous Stokes Valley Pool.

I complete a minimum of 30 lengths of the pool and I feel safe because the lifeguards are always watching and chatting and smiling with me while I am working hard in the water.

While aqua-jogging is a huge achievement and very satisfying, I feel that my biggest achievement is getting on and off the bus with no support.

I'm able to make my way from the bus stop to the pool with little or no support and the same when heading back home. I've made friends with the bus drivers and I feel safe travelling on the bus.

I'll be visiting the Stokes Valley Pool not just for aqua-jogging, but also to be part of the gym, as one of my goals is to lose weight and get fit. This will create a healthy lifestyle with healthy choices.

With all my new goals set for 2011, I have a lot planned. This may involve a trip to Australia with friends and to get back into dancing and cooking classes.

If you all have big goals like I do for 2011, we will all be very busy people.

I feel very honoured to be part of Community Connections and I love all the people involved in my life.
