Proud to Represent Canada in 2018 - Nicolas P. N.

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. 

Nicolas P. N. - Level 1 - Silver Medalist from Markham, Ontario

“I am very excited to participate and be a part of this amazing contest!

In the first competition, I wasn’t nervous at all. I felt confident. However, when I got my results, my score was not satisfied. In the second competition, I told myself “I need to get a high score to get into the final contest.” When the results came out, I was close to getting the perfect result, but not good enough, so I started getting worried and thought that I wouldn’t make it to the finals.

When I came back home from school one day, I was so excited to find out that I just managed to remain in the finals! In the finals, the test was very hard! I was not sure if I could be in Team Canada, but I told myself: Don’t give up! Try next year if I failed. A few days later, mom told me I was one of the members of Team Canada. This made me very excited. I am motivated to get ready for the competition. After a week and a half of training, I felt almost prepared, and just needed to get a little more studying done.

I know I will make lots of new friends in the world final. I am looking forward to the world contest!"
