Koren Wieting

Student and Aspiring Teacher

Who I am

I consider myself to be an ambitious and driven individual. I find passion in the things I love to do and I do not give up easily. I use honesty in my everyday life, and I believe it is extremely important to treat others the way you would like to be treated. I also see myself as a sensative and empathetic person which I feel, shows my strength.

Where I Come From

I come from a small town called Drayton Valley, about an hour and a half Southwest of Edmonton. Home of the DV Thunder hockey team, DV is known for “Pulling Together”.

Just ten minutes outside of Drayton is the North Saskatchewan River, where I learned my love for creating pleasant spaces while scooping ice cream at the campground located just along the river. 

I lived in Drayton Valley for 12 years. My family eventually moved twenty-five minutes out of town to a golfing community called Birchwood. I consider Drayton Valley to be my hometown as that is where I went to school and had many of my firsts although, Birchwood holds a special place in my heart. 

Who I Aspire To Be

Like all great things, growth takes time. I believe I am on the right track to become an understanding and carismatic teacher. I find comfort in the path of life I have chosen for myself although at times it may feel like the longest and hardest path I could have chosen for myself. I have faith in my path and I aspire to use what I have learned from this path in all aspects of my life.
