What was the most interesting thing you learned about your topic?
The most interesting thing I learned about M. Frank McKenna is that he was not only a famous politician, but also a good athlete. He enjoyed sports and played a lot of sports in school. M. McKenna always dreamed of becoming a great hockey or baseball player. As a result of his strong skills in the position of centre on his hockey team, he was even offered a scholarship.
What important lessons have you learned that you want to share with other Canadians?
The important lesson that I have learned, that I want to share with other Canadians, is that you should not be afraid to do what you think is right and what you should honour your promises and commitments. Additionally, it is important to treat everyone fairly by having an attitude of equality and behaving justly.
How would you compare your life today to the lives of those studied in your project?
Our life is mostly the same. The biggest change would be the technology aspect. The technology is part of our daily life. We are surrounded by it. What a great addition!
