For reading week, my friend Devon and I decided to do something different. We packed our bags and we headed to New York! This week is an adventure! A chance to live it up, before we head back to school.
As we were heading to the subway, we stumbled upon a flea market in Brooklyn and here were some of our favorite finds!
If it wouldn't have destroyed my neck, this would be mine by now!
This locket has 3 small compartments for drugs, I mean photos!
These were pretty...
I was very excited, I was about to play these. Then I remembered you can't just do that...darn
Hey all! The purpose of this video is to help out with anyone who is looking to get healthier for their new years resolution! Hope it helps someone out!
Hey all! this is sad but we filmed this video and posted it on Christmas day but I haven't gotten to putting it up on the blog till now! Hope you enjoy it!
It's Christmas and I thought I'd do a quick blog post with the outfit I'm wearing for the day. Can and I will try to put a video up later. The sweater is from Sammydress.com, the leggings are from Ardene's and the hat is just dollarama. Happy holidays and merry Christmas to all our readers. We truly appreciate every bit of it.
Due to recent events made public in the media regarding teen suicide, I decided to use the "My Secrets" tag to share a personal story that I have related to the subject.
If you or anyone you know is in a situation like that girl, there is help. Reach out and find someone who will listen. I always will.
Funny title, I know. It plays on something that is said in the video.
In this video, I explain that I love (shocking), but I also give me " I'm not your gay friend" rant.
This isn't (Directly) a rant about the general stereotypes that the "gay best friend" encompass (that will come later), rather it addresses the phenomena that is being objectified by straight woman.
This poem was a product of MSAC 4, a cohort of individuals that I am so glad to have met. We are a collection of Students from grades 7-12 tasked with representing the student voice of over 2 million students in Ontario. We are also some of the most fabulous and loveable people you will ever meet.
Shout out to MSAC 4!
I am…
I am from a place where
there are walls, but no limits; a place where different cultures and natures
meet; a place that no-one seems to have heard of.
I am from a community that
celebrates strawberries; a quiet area where streets are simple but the people
are complicated; a place of caring and giving people.
I am from hard work, bad
jokes, and a life of quiet simplicity; from large gatherings, found memories,
and far-away places.
I am from knockwurst and
gateau chaumeur, from codfish and crab meat, from meat and potatoes and gravy,
from goulash and pizza, from poli, baji and postizzi’s, olives and rice,
schnitzel and crumpets and tarte au sucre… I am from any home cooked meal.
I am from a place where it
isn’t always safe; an environment where education outside the classroom should
be as highly supported as learning within those four walls.
I am from a slippery slope
that tests my abilities; a place where teachers encourage us to follow our
dreams.
I am from a place where
learning disabilities should be acknowledged as much as achievement; a school
where teachers and students should be respected by each other, and work
together towards a common goal.
I am from a place where love
flows free and equality is yet to be; a place of uncertainty and shattered
trust, and a hope for healing; a place of determination and passion; a family
who had beaten all odds.
I am from a vision in which
students will open their eyes to see the potential they withhold; a place that
needs to recognize its potential; a place where change is open and possible.
I am from a place that
believes that discussion and experimentation leads to advancement and
innovation; from a place where the focus needs to shift beyond just schooling.
Honourable
Minister, we are from a breed of youth that wants to make a difference.
