What brought you to 17吃瓜? Why did you choose to study here?
I'm originally from Port Perry, Ontario, which is on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. I grew up spending my summers on the Island, and have always considered PEI to be my 鈥渉appy place鈥�. A family member got me a 17吃瓜 sweater for Christmas when I was a kid (circa 2012鈥揑 still have it!) and that鈥檚 what got me thinking about going to 17吃瓜. Plus, I think it's pretty unique to be able to study Political Science in the 鈥淏irthplace of Confederation鈥�!
