Inside a cuckoo's nest: life at Covenant House
Imagine that one day you wake up in the forest. You don’t know how you got there, or how you're going to get out. And nobody is there to help you.
Ths is the same way I’ve been waking up for tihe past three months, thinking, “I'm homeless.” I mean, I have a place to stay where I get fed and it’s warm, but it’s not home. Nor is it home for the other 74 street kids who live there.
Arranged Marriage
It is asked why the attendance at Jarvis dances is so low. One reason that can be offered is that dances involve dating, a concept that may not be very popular among many Jarvis students.
TDW
It’s after school. You sit on the bus eagerly anticipating the stop to the place you call “the hood.” Scrambling out of the bus and into your cozy house, you throw your bag on to the floor and glide across the living room to the computer. You quickly type in the website address as if your life depended on it, while waiting for what seems like a lifetime. Finally you’re at ease as the letters TDW pop up on the screen. You login.
Whose Perspective?
Recently the Executive Officer of Student and Community Equity, Lloyd Mckell, and the Toronto District School Board have been discussing the possibility of establishing an all-Black School with the hope that it will help with the increasing dropout rates of black students.
Take a break
For many of the graduating students of J.C.I., the idea of taking a year off between high school and post-secondary school is frowned upon. This so-called “gap year” is seen as an unpractical choice with no real benefits. But there are some interesting options for students during this time: to take a program, do a mix of their own traveling and volunteer work, strictly work to make money before all the expenses of post-secondary education, or relax and take a break.
Disney Racism
This summer I was extremely excited to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. However, when the 2½ hour summer blockbuster ended, I left the movie theatre unimpressed, mostly appalled by the blatant racism featured in the film.
Freedom Fighters or Terrorists?
For approximately one hundred Tamil students at Jarvis and for over 74,000,000 Tamils living around the globe it is a nightmare. Their homeland has been a killing field for the past twenty-five years.
