On January 16, 2012 By

The second semester of my first college experience at CMRSJ in St.-Jean-sur-Richelieu has begun and with it has brought a new set of challenges and obstacles.

Jack Layton

On August 22, 2011 By

I can probably count on one hand the number of issues that Jack Layton and I agreed on.  Nonetheless, I think that we share a number of the same values.  Hard work, equality, diversity, and most importantly, standing up for what you believe in.  That is, I think, why Jack was so loved [...]

Hello, all.

What a great Caucus. I am still absorbing the fact that my life has been changed indefinitely through my experiences over the past few days. I learned aspects about my personality that I never knew I had, and skill sets that I have never put into usage before. What a great experience it [...]

“Here For Canada”

On April 11, 2011 By

What Music is to me.

On April 11, 2011 By

So tomorrow, with the Toronto Youth Wind Orchestra, I am going to be playing the Planets three times, twice for student concerts in the early afternoon, and once at night.
