Favourite Global Memory:
My favourite global memory is probably the week of the SWAY projects. It was day after day of fun, interactive and interesting presentations that kept everyone in high spirits! We got to try different foods, take part in various religious “activities” and have fun sharing what we had learned about. My very favourite memory from that week was the dancing we did outside of the portable.
Unexpected Lessons Learned from Global:
Honestly, I learned that I could handle a lot more than I initially thought I was capable of. We were continuously thrown work, and while yes, it got stressful, I managed to get it all done in the end. I really appreciate having to find this out about myself, as this will continue to help me progress throughout my future.
What Does Global Mean to You?
Global to me is 28 kids and four teachers who are passionate about the world, and can appreciate an opportunity as amazing as travelling. We were all awkward and shy with each other in the beginning, but began to grow closer as the year progressed. Global gives a group of people the amazing opportunity of becoming a family; as students we all went through the stressful assignments and late nights and, in the end, connected because of such.
Why did you Apply to Global?
When I was in grade 9, I had first heard about global from Mr. Torlee in geography, and was instantly hooked. I have always loved travelling and can appreciate all the good, and occasional “bad”, that comes with it. As I further looked into the program, I became incredibly interested and excited. Global gave me an unforgettable grade 11 year and I am very thankful for that!
Describe Global in 3 Words:
Unpredictable, exciting and transformative
What did you enjoy most about online school?
I enjoyed the flexibility that comes with online school. I was able to do assignments when it worked best for me throughout the day and definitely was able to catch up on sleep. It was tough at first, but now I enjoy the routine that I’ve created for myself, and feel that I am producing quality work because of such.

Prison Conditions: Prisoner Rights In Developing countries
An increasingly alarming issue occurring in detainment centers around the world is the inadequate treatment of prisoners, most significantly seen in facilities located in developing countries. The original concept of prison was to essentially rehabilitate those who were a threat to society. However, many countries have turned it into an automatic response to any and all unfavourable actions occurring within their borders, rather than a last resort. These countries, which more often than not have questionable government structures, seem to significantly misplace their priorities concerning the health and well-being of prisoners. Their focus is to punish those who they deem to be in the wrong, rather than creating an environment to ultimately transform convicts into law-abiding citizens. This act of denying citizens, both within and outside of prisons, their inherent rights as human beings only furthers the corruption of a country, leaving them trapped in a vicious cycle of deplorable living conditions.
