About me: Kylee ♥
Hi, my name is Kylee! I am 14 years old, I live in Coquitlam, BC, Canada, and I attend Dr. Charles Best in Canada.
This is my first year in secondary school, so I have not experienced many classes, but my favourite subjects so far are textiles and social studies.
I have no siblings, so I live with my parents and my dog (Loki).
I have always wanted a dog even when I was very young, so when I got Loki, my days consisted of going on walks, playing tug of war and doing lots of research.
Which brings me to my passion, dog training! I have been training my dog for almost a year now. I am not very knowledgeable or experienced, but dog training has allowed me to spend time with my dog, learn about dogs, and it gives me a hobby where I can see improvement daily.
I joined Butterfly to learn about real world issues and take action in whatever way I can. I want to help global and community issues, because when I see or hear about people being negatively affected it frustrates me. I want to see more change in the world, especially regarding homophobia and gender-based violence. I hope Butterfly will allow me to spend time researching about these issues and help me find ways to act for those causes.
Things about me that might surprise other people are:
-I have a certificate in Intermediate First Aid and CPR C/AED
-My MBTI is INFJ-T
-My favourite season is autumn
-I practice competitive swimming
-I have friends 🙂
If I could solve any global problem, I would solve gender inequality. I find it frustrating that gender equality, (even though it’s a human right!) is far from being achieved. The idea that because someone is born a different gender determines your rights, opportunities, how others treat you, violence directed towards you, assumptions and comments made about you, etc. is absurd to me. If I could solve this problem I would, so everyone feels safe and part of the community.
I am most interested in the action category. I plan on starting out with a project that is more localized and immediate for my first time. I am aiming to do something that benefits shelter dogs or dogs in the community. For example, a fundraiser, donations or picking up litter in dog friendly spaces. I also chose action because I wish to make an impact.
Thanks for reading!
