Meet Kristin Aquino
 Hello. My name is Kristin Aquino. I have been involved with the DDRC for three years. Since then, I have attended Bow Valley College and have received my Level One Certification for Early Learning Child Care. I have gained experience working with children through my volunteer work at the Crowfoot YMCA Recreation Centre.
Now, I work part time at Gibson's Energy. I am also working at Old Navy and at the Crowfoot Cineplex Odeon Theatre. I still volunteer at the Crowfoot YMCA.
A special moment I had at the DDRC was at the Christmas Party when I was with all of my friends. I also participated in the DDRC's Inclusion Awards.
My hobbies are singing, playing on the computer, playing basketball, watching TV and movies, hanging out with my family and friends, swimming, and bowling.
In the DDRC's PACE (Participation in Academics and Career Exploration) program, I got to know all of the CRW's(Community Resource Workers) really well and I got to know the clients they supported. I became good friends with most of the clients while being in the program.
At my new job at Gibson's Energy, my CRW, Rethi, supports me on the job. She has been really supportive and encourages me all of the time.
My family has been a huge support for me since I've been with the DDRC. They keep me going when things are rough and when I'm faced with difficult situations in my life. My friends at the DDRC are also very supportive. They help keep me motivated by encouraging me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. My grandpa is another big support in my life because he keeps me motivated. He has always been on my side, helping me grow as a person.
