Write about your favourite author or book.

My favourite book is When all you have is hope by Frank Odea. The reason why I enjoyed this book so much is because first of all it's a true story and its about a man who had lost everything from his early addiction to alcohol at the age of 14. He was kicked out of his house and had nothing to live off of. Frank ended up in the streets and it was very interesting to read about because it was the streets of Toronto that he was living on. I was able to picture him at almost every location he ended up in and it was interesting watching him go from having absolutly nothing to becoming a million and the co-founder of Second Cup.

What do you like or dislike about this school?

What I like about this school is how everything is new and there's a lot of space. When we were at the Cardinal Carter location I feel as though everyone was very congested mostly because we only had two and a half hallways rather than two stories. Also, at Carter all of the desk's, chair's and most text books were used. Now that we're in our new school everything is clean and because we're less students than all the English students at Carter the school stays much cleaner.

What I dislike about this school is that there are grade seven's and eight's. Not to sound rude but the majority of the younger students are still very immature which is obviously understandable but because of that I don't feel like they should be combined in the same school as us. I hate the fact that they run into me while their running around in the halls and the fact that they don't respect the fact that we are older students and some of them yell inappropriate things to us which is just a constant irritation.

Would you want to be an actor or actress? why or why not?

No, I would want to be an actress for various reasons. First of all, I have no interest in acting whatsoever; I would hate to have to travel for months at a time to film movies because I'd feel as though I'm missing out on everything that would be going on back at home. Second of all, I wouldn't want to be famous and constantly be in the public eye. Being an actor you would be living a completely different lifestyle where almost everything you do would go public. Take for example when you’re at the grocery store loading your food onto the belt and you have magazines in front of your face of how Lindsay Lohan is anorexic, along with Mary-Kate Olsen. What is the point of me knowing this information, because in my eye's I could care less what Lindsay or Mary-Kate look like. Not only does this information do nothing for me, but what good is it for the person who is on the front cover? Most of the time there are random embarrassing facts that are always thrown out for the public to see so that the paparazzi could get paid. There are obviously good factors about being an actress such as making millions of dollars for making films but I don't think there's a point on having all that money due to the fact that money doesn't buy you happiness. As you can tell, most people involved in acting become drug abusers and I'd rather not be involved in that sort of lifestyle.

Should a fast food company take over the running of the cafeteria?

No, in my opinion I do not believe that a fast food company should take over the running of the cafeteria for various reasons. First of all, fast food companies cook most of their food in a massive amount of grease. With that factor, for those who eat the cafeteria food would gain more weight. Overall, more kids will eat unhealthy food and students in high school with become obese.

The day I graduate is...

The day I graduate I will be so overwhelmed with joy. The thought of continuing my life as a university or college student is very exciting. There will be a lot of change at that point but I am ready for a new change! Knowing that all my friends will be going off to different schools is rather upsetting but I know that while I will be at my new school, living on my own, being independent I will be making new friends. I can't wait for this journey to begin!
