Jones Scholarship award. My rugby career started in Grade 10 of high school when I saw my friends having such a fun time playing and being part of a team. It was one of the best decisions I ever made in high school, as it really helped me see what it takes to work really hard at something for the gain of a team. Ever since I have thoroughly enjoyed playing rugby and am passionate about the sport \u2013 currently I\u2019m playing with the Ottawa Indians Rugby Football Club. In the latest season, I played as a winger and sometime a full back.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Other than rugby, I am also very interested in snowboarding and hiking. I consider myself a very active and outdoorsy person, and hope to travel the world when I graduate to learn and experience how other cultures and countries live. I am also very interested in music, currently I\u2019m learning how to play the guitar. Other than that, I\u2019m focused on school and spending time with friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>My future career goals consist of going into real estate development within a municipality. I was fortunate enough to have great co-op experiences so that I was able to target what I was most enthusiastic about in terms of a career \u2013 and think I found something that I would truly enjoy doing every day. I\u2019m currently in my last year at the University of Guelph in a Bachelor of Commerce Degree with a major in Real Estate and Housing, so it has been very advantageous to me to find a job that pertains to my degree as well.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you again so much.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nEmma Watson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Canadian Rugby Foundation, Firstly, I would like to give my sincere gratitude; I feel very fortunate to be a recipient of the George F.
