We wake up tired, exhausted and fatigued. We drag ourselves into class like mindless zombies waiting for the one thing that will wake us up: the joke of the day. Even though many of us believe that the joke of the day was corny, that is what makes it a whole lot better. It is

An Amazing Day at “Work”
Wednesday was “National Take Your Kids To Work Day”. It is a very special day where students in Canada are able to go to their parent’s or guardian’s buisness and experience a day in the working world. I had an amazing experience. I went to my mom’s work at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial

My November 3rd Experience
I woke up on Take Our Kids to Work Day not really knowing what to expect. Was I nervous? A little bit. Was I excited? Somewhat. Tired? Definitely. I got up, and got ready. It could’ve been a regular school day. My morning routine was exactly the same, except for the fact that I didn’t
Stations of the Cross a Moving Experience
The lights dimmed. The guitars strummed. The singers sang. All heads turned to the back of the gym, where Jesus was being dragged to the front to be condemned by Pontious Pilate. The annual stations of the cross ceremony took place at Aquinas on Thursday April 1. The assembly, always powerful, moved the students in
Is It Safe To Come Out Now?
“Man, that math test was so gay.” Walking down the hall I hear the people behind me talking. This is the same conversation I hear at least 5 times a day. Someone should probably inform students that “gay” does not actually mean stupid or lame or difficult, and that the misuse of the term is
