Proud to Represent Canada in 2018 - Joshua A.

Our 2018 WMO Team members told us how they felt before competing about representing Canada in the WMO Global Finals in Stanford University, California on August 11, 2018. 

Joshua A. - Level 1 - Merit Medalist from Ottawa, Ontario

“Math is a good summer pastime and I want to get better at it. I tried out for the Canadian Math Team because I wanted to test myself and see how hard it would be. I was excited for the chance to be part of a team and specially to go to California. I was really proud when I found out I made the team. I want to thank my mom, dad and my Aunt Jenny for supporting and encouraging me. 

I feel a little more stressed now that training has started because I am worried that I might not be good enough for the competition. The math practice I have been doing every day is making me feel a little more confident. I enjoyed the Math training in Toronto and spending some time with my dad seeing the sights, including the CN Tower. I am excited to work with the 6 teammates I have already met, and I am looking forward to meeting the other 5 members. I can’t believe the competition is coming so soon! "
