Whatever you love, pursue.
Hi!
My name is Ali Keraiff and I play badminton. I have been playing for eight and a half years. I started at my school in Crawford Bay and now I play on a varsity college team. We are called the Cougars. Last year I went to Nationals and got a bronze medal. This year my goal is to win gold. Because of badminton I have traveled all over British Columbia and Alberta. I have made so many new friends because of badminton. This year with my college I am going to an International Tournament in Hawaii. The Credit Union sponsored me so I could go. They also supported my high school team. Thanks to my grades I have been able to get academic and athletic scholarships from my college. I have loved sports all my life and through sport I have traveled, met new people, and learned a lot about myself. Whatever you love, pursue. I have pursued badminton and school and am happy because of it. Even if you come from a really small town you can go to big places. I have never been to Hawaii before and get to go because I have worked hard to go to college and play badminton. It takes a lot of work to go to college and play on a sports team but it is worth it. I can’t wait to compete at an international level. It will be so much fun. Wish me luck!!
