“All this time, I was thinking of ways that HE could change, but what if I could change?” Through a humorous experience at a movie theatre, Alvin Jia discovers how understanding others can lead to unexpected solutions. As he concludes, “Empathy helps us see the simple solutions.” Hello! My name is Alvin jia. I am 13 years old and I go to Collingwood school. I like reading books, playing video games and having fun with my friends. I was born in Canada, but my parents immigrated here from China. I play badminton and I’ve been playing for 2 years now! I used to play basketball but I broke my finger. Upon hearing this news, my piano teacher was very upset because I couldn’t play the piano for a few weeks. After this, I decided to play a sport that I probably wouldn’t have to worry about having a dislocated wrist the very next day. A fun fact about me is that I have 4 cats with very different attitudes towards people. One lets you cuddle, kiss and hug her however you want, the other acts like people are peasants and he’s the almighty king, one only lets one lucky person to touch her, and the last one is the wise and old one and nobody is allowed to come within arm’s length of her.
