Everyone has procrastinated at least one time in their life. I think that procrastination is a bad thing, and you will just regret it in the end. When I asked people at York Mills C.I., I found some very interesting opinions about procrastination.

York Mills has a wide team of interesting and talented teachers but did you know York Mills has a former olympic athlete among them? Mr Bernardes is known around the school as a gym and APS teacher and also the coach of the junior basketball team but some people may not know that he was also an athlete that participated in bobsled events in the 1988 Calgary olympic games for Portugal. I asked Mr Bernardes a few questions to get some details on his unique olympic experience.

Its mocking gaze fixates on you. A lump forms in your throat, while the tumultuous thudding of your heartbeat echoes with the intervals of the classroom’s ticking clock. The chatter of your classmates grows distant and is gradually obscured in your surroundings. Did I get all A’s? Did I fail? What will my parents say? Should I look now or later? Should I even look at all? You reach towards the piece of paper to flip it over, but you are too paralyzed to move. Finally, you push through the currents of fear and tension that linger around the edges of the sickeningly blue coloured piece of paper, and you flip it over. Your eyes race down the page. A…B…A…C…? C? Did you just get a C?

It is difficult enough to go back to school every year; but imagine being apart of the youngest grade coming to a new school, when that group of students was expected to stay at their former junior high for one more year.

The Titans of York Mills are passionate about their food, which is why we’ve received many responses regarding multiple changes that should be made to our cafeteria. The survey we conducted asked for multiple suggestions that could be made to the cafeteria system, from changing the menu to fixing the hour-long lines. Surprisingly many students wanted healthier options that look appealing and taste great. Students who filled out the survey gave an impressive rating of 7/10 to the food quality, which is considerably high compared to the critical written responses given. Main staples bought from the cafeteria includes; fries, patties, and cookies because full meals are not available in the express line and students with extracurriculars need to grab n’ go. The cafeteria’s constant variation in the menu seems to bother regular customers because their favourites may go missing. Which is why many Titans seemed to agree on publicizing the menu during the daily announcements, just to prep for the worst. In any case, the food is enjoyed by everyone but does need a little tinkering here and there. The main concerns lie within the unreasonable amount of time to takes to pick up food and why it isn’t fresh.
