Day 243- Nov. 22- Louisa Keleutak

Here's my buddy Louisa from Quaqtaq. She insisted on the selfie before I left town in my last visit of the year in late May. It was JUST before she finished her final exams and graduated from Sec. 5.

Louisa has been very friendly and a wonderful help to me every time I went to Quaqtaq this past year. She would always stop her scooter for a handshake and a chat if she noticed me walking around. Another time she gave me a lift back to the hotel on her skidoo during a rushed lunch. One day in April, I was thinking about going to the coop and was getting close to the closing time, so I took a very scary ride on the back of her scooter only to find out it was closed. Finally, I happened to be on a school visit when the school was having a "Pyjama Day and celebration breakfast". I felt way too formal in my regular work clothes, so she had an extra fuzzy onesie pyjamas that I could pull on over my pants to show a bit more spirit.

Louisa is starting her first year of CEGEP down in Montreal. I wish her much perseverance, joy and success as it is a big step for anyone!!
