From Instagram to Writing Articles

Richard (Ricky) Miller, an 11th grader at Canadian Academy, like a lot of teenagers has a favourite sports team. His favourite team is the Ottawa Senators, an ice hockey team, and he tried different ways to share his knowledge on the team. He initially started a fan account on Instagram, in ninth grade, but due to it being unsuccessful he quit. Towards the end of his attempt, an opportunity arose, where he was asked to write for an ice hockey publication website. Taking this opportunity in stride, he continues to write for ice hockey publications to this day. Through his journey, he hopes to encourage others to not be afraid of failure but rather embrace it and move forwards especially when things are uncertain.
