Libby Macleod

WORDS BY ISABELLE HENDRICK

The days were getting shorter, the nights darker. On October 16th, 2003, big sister Skye and big brother Jacob welcomed innocent, Libby Ellen Day McLeod into the world. Libby didn’t say much in our interview, but the reason I picked her is because I know so much about her already and she’s my best friend. I met Libby when I was in grade eight while she was in grade seven. We got very close very fast by hanging out nearly every day. I’ve learned that Libby is the most honest, caring and funny person ever in the days that we have hung out. The thing Libby loves about Inuvik is the scenery; on nights when the sun sets, we drive around, listen to music and just vibe to the surroundings. I also like to drive around with Libby because it’s so calming and I love just being around her. At this time in Libby’s life, the most important thing to do is to graduate, create a successful life and get a great job. What I like most about Libby is that she stands up for herself and her friends; she never lets any of her friends down. Libby also doesn’t take any negativity from anyone.
