From The Editors... Khyati Gupta

It’s been a very long, tireless journey, but we here at the Newspaper Office have finally completed the very first issue of the Pearson Press this year. Three weeks straight practically living in Mr. C’s computer lab, we managed to scrape these last few words before producing the final product. This issue is chock-full of great fashion advice, back to school tips and of course great PearDeanna Dinanath son events. Hope you sink your teeth into this issue; it’s a good one.

As an editor, I have discovered confidence. I feel confident about the future of our school's newspaper. The immense diversity will bring our newspaper to life. Extravagant point of views of students (some call them critics) will surely polish the future newspaper issues. Pearson is filled with originality. Creativity is in each and everyone of us. All we have to do is explore ourselves to find it! I am learning along the way. And I love it!

-Deanna Dinanath (Grade12 Editor) P.S. Khyati’s blog is just around the corner.

-Khyati Gupta (Grade 11 Editor) P.S: Hi Deanna!

Back to School: High School Chronicles– Abigail Adjetey Most of us experienced being somewhat of a “frosh” during the first few weeks of September. Adjusting to work and a new life, may not always be glamorous. But each grade will have its memories and achievements. With these tips, have fun and work smart. Get organized. Not only with upcoming assignments and projects, but this also applies to extracurricular activities, volunteering, your part-time job (for those lucky enough to get one), and doctor’s appointments. For best results, use your agenda/planner. You don’t need fancy electronics such as a Blackberry to help you out. Use your time wisely. What time do you go to bed? When do you need to be out of the door to catch the bus or subway? Are there things you do after school? How long do you do your homework? Take these things into consideration and plan a timetable for yourself. If you’re having difficulty, sit down with a guidance counselor to discuss an ideal plan. Admit that you need help. Why do you let your grades suffocate you? Instead of acting sheepishly in this situation, get help. It sounds easier said than done, but it’s worth it. If you don’t understand a topic in class, ask your teacher(s) for clarity. Buddy up with students and friends to study and also get updated about deadlines and tests while you’re absent. For personal issues, contact your guidance counselor or your family doctor for assistance. Now there’s a sign of relief. Get working! Want good advice? Listen up to John Tesh on 97.3 EzRock weekdays (Sunday-Friday) from 6-9pm daily or at www.tesh.com for tips and downloads for your life.

D I WAL I — R a n o g o l a n o l i a What is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs and is celebrated for the defeat of evil? It starts with a D and ends with an iwali. If it’s Diwali then it’s correct! Diwali is known as the festival of lights, the row of lights, and the row of clay lights. The event dates back to 527 AD when Lord Narakasura, (the lord of evil and spiritual darkness), started to conquer the people living in a town. Then Lord Rama with his powers was said to have defeated Lord Narakasura. He also defeated all evil activity and spiritual darkness. On this day, all homes are decorated with oil lamps called diyas. Fireworks are shot in the sky and sweets are made for all family members and neighbours. Also money is given to those who are less fortunate. A typical day of Diwali would be something like this: All family members would wake up early at dawn and start the day by making an artwork at the foyer of their home. Later on, they’ll begin to make the food and the sweets for the occasion. Then in the evening they would decorate their homes. When their houses are fully decorated, they would pray to the lord and this is where the party starts. Fireworks are shot into the sky and as relatives come to visit, the sweets are shared, and gifts are given. This is an ideal Hindu celebration. To all those celebrating Diwali: Happy Diwali!!!!

Old is gold. Sounds cheesy, I know, but it’s true. The older something gets the more experience it gains, the more history it becomes part of and the more stories there are to tell. It is true for people, cities, buildings and almost anything one can think of. It is, therefore, true for schools as well. Our Pearson has reached its 30th year of existence and on the 18th of October, 2008, some of Pearson’s teachers and students celebrated its joyous birthday. Students of yesteryears visited Pearson and had the privilege of watching the basketball game between the ‘Ol’ Timer Bengals’ and the current Senior Basketball team. The library was transformed into a cozy area for chatting and sipping on coffee or munching on cookies. It was called ‘Meet the Teacher Lounge’ so students and teachers, old or new, could meet, chat and simply enjoy the reunion. There were the fabulous decade rooms – 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s and the New Millennium. Various rooms scattered around the school were devoted to a particular era. The rooms had popular music, yearbooks, pictures, slides, trophies, jerseys and textbooks from the era. Each room had their own tack board for autographs of people who had taught at or graduated from Pearson during a particular time. There was a spectacular musical show performed by students currently attending Pearson, which was really the “The older something gets the more main event of the day. experience it gains, the more history it becomes part of and the more stories there are to tell. “

There were students who had graduated from Pearson with simple dreams and hopes to achieve something big coming in to celebrate the birthday with so much achieved and so much appreciation for the place that had helped them get where they are today.

Students attending and helping out discovered the devotion some teachers have blessed Pearson with for years and years, doing a fantastic job as staff of Pearson. Pictures of teachers such as Ms. Obcena in school with her teachers, Mr. Koury when he started out, and throughout the numerous years he’s been here at Pearson, Mr. Bradford, Mme. VanderKleij, Mme Noble-Deacon, Ms. Reynolds, Ms. Gudov, Ms. Rados and so many others, were a treasure to find. Some had the privilege to meet the first principal of Pearson, still healthy and more than happy to chat about his years as the principal at Pearson. It is amazing to see and understand how a little idea or purpose develops over time to grow and become something so big, so inspiring. When Pearson started out way back in the 1970’s, it had nobody standing by it. But throughout the years, in 30 years to be exact, it has earned true loyalty of scores of teachers and students, who graduated and came back as staff and had their relatives and next generations attend Pearson because it gives so much,

P e a r s o n St yl e Wa t c h - An i k a W i l l i a m s Warm, carefree days of summer have vanished and now it is time to say adieu to the playful shorts, skirts, and dresses of the summer. It’s time to bundle up, but that doesn’t mean one can’t do that in style. This fall, there are many ways that a trendsetting fashionista can keep warm yet stay trendy. Of course, when thinking of what to wear to stay warm, the first thing that comes to mind is a jacket. A jacket is both a necessity for fall but also an important fashion staple. This season, the top 3 trends for jackets are the cocoon jacket, the plaid jacket, and the girly jacket. The cocoon jacket leaves behind the tight constraints of a cinched waist and trades it for a shape that is more voluminous. It has puffy shoulders and then has a straight cut the rest of the way down. This jacket is a perfect way for a girl to show her trendsetting abilities by leaving a look of awe in everyone’s eyes as she passes by. The next trend, plaid, is not only popular for jackets this season, but for all of your other attire as well. Plaid, always known as the “school-girl” favorite, has taken a new turn from its tacky roots and has become a must-have item for every fashion forward girl. Plaid can be worn in large doses, such as in a jacket or a shirt, or for a more subtle approach in a purse or pair of flats. But be cautious. When donning this trend, make sure that the plaid pieces are fitted and modern looking so that you don’t look like you are trying out your new Halloween costume as a lumberjack. Despite those warnings, rocking this trend is very easy to do and in the end it looks classy and fashion forward. The final fall trend this season is the girly jacket. Girly jackets don’t have to be pink, but always contain a variety of ultra-feminine details. From ruffles, to bows, to pleats these jackets scream girly. These cute details take your classic wool jacket and give it a new edge. In the end, while wearing this ultra feminine trend you will feel like you are a gorgeously classic Audrey Hepburn strutting the streets (or halls) with that certain je ne sais quoi that everyone wants to possess. So my advice to you, my fellow fashionistas and trend setters, this fall, show everyone what you’ve got. Show them that not only do you have an impeccable sense of style but you also have star-worthy confidence as well.

G r a d e N i n e D a y- Aa t e k a R a j a b The day started great! There was music blasting through the cafeteria as all the grade nines, showing their spirit by wearing their team colours entered and went to their assigned teams. We headed outside on the field because that’s where all the activities were taking place. The weather wasn’t as favourable as expected but the day went rather smoothly with the excitement, the competition, and the chill in the air. Many were taken by surprise when we went outside because it was cold, but they were quickly warmed because of all the physical movement involved in each activity. Most of the activities were quite amusing such as in the tug-o-war, when the boys were overpowered by the girls. The potato sack race was entertaining especially when everyone fell while hopping in the bag. Many students filled the air with laughter, as a person dropped dramatically trying to get up to tag the next person in line. After the morning activities were completed we moved on to the gym to eat our lunch, which consisted of one slice of pizza, a can of pop and a bag of chips. After everyone had finished their lunch, we were told to make up a cheer representing our group. Each group added a creative twist of their own such as, a heel-toe movement, a cartwheel, throwing someone up in the air. After everyone had shown their team spirit, we were given another challenge. The group leaders were wrapped up in 3 rolls of toilet paper and the group that wrapped up their group leader the best won. There were quite a few leaders who became statues made up of toilet paper. Most leaders were fully covered and all you could see were their eyes, or just their hats that were placed on top of their heads for creativity. Everyone was hurrying to clean up their toilet paper leaders because the dance was in session; this is the activity that everyone was waiting for. All the grade nine students and their leaders made their way to the cafeteria-where the dance was taking placeand as everyone entered they could hear the music blasting yet no one was dancing. Mrs. Behzadpour tried to “liven” up the dance by dancing. Soon some people started dancing but many were just spectators. Many were disappointed when the dance was done but they left with smiles on their faces. These smiles were because of the great time everyone had and also because there are still many more dances to come where they can have even better experiences.

Sac President Opens Up! As you all should know by now. We have voted Pooja Bhagat for our new 2008-2009 SAC president. Pooja is involved in a number of activities around school and for the past 3 years she has accomplished quite a bit. I had an opportunity to interview Pooja and asked her a few questions. Q. What was going through your mind when you found out you won? A. I fell to the ground and started to cry because a gut feeling told me that I wasn't going to win. A lot of things were going through my mind, however, the first thing I wanted to do was embrace Thivya. Second? I wanted to thank the student body for giving me this privilege. Q. How was the campaign? A. Throughout the campaign there were a lot of pros and cons. In the end my spectacular campaign crew and I decided, no matter what happened we wanted to look back at that week as a good experience. As well we wanted to make it a good memory at the end of the year. Q. What are you going to do to change the school that the past president couldn't do? A. The past president did everything he could to change the school and he was successful in many ways. Thank-you Adnan Rasheed (07-08). However I do Pooja Bhagat Sac President 2008-2009 not want to change this school, I love this school and I want to show the students they can love it too. For change it is a matter of perspective and expectations. Yes, there are restrictions to what I can do, and how much I can plan. Understanding that I must respect the rules and regulations and the staff teaching time, I will plan accordingly. Q. What are some events you plan to do this school year? A. Dances, Spirit days and weeks, a few buy-outs, the holiday assembly, candy, rose grams and fundraisers. Q. When do you plan on starting Pearson’s own radio show? A. I have spoken to administration and staff and they agree that our lunch period needs to be much more exciting and lively. For self-satisfaction, I’d like to get this project cracking by the end of November. However, I ask students to keep in mind a project like this requires a lot of training and preparation. Therefore, once planning and organization of the Halloween dance and Spirit Week is complete, the radio show will be proposed. Q How is your idea about adopting a child coming along? A. The thing with adopting a child is that Pearson had tried it a few years ago, and it is sad to say the child was neglected. Therefore, I am not to sure if I will be able to adopt a new child, but I will do everything I can to try to provide for our current child again. Q. How are you going to fundraise to help with your plans for the school? A. Fundraisers would include candy and rose grams, dances, buy outs, bake sales and the iron curtain. Hopefully even a food drive. Pooja would also like to thank everyone for their support throughout her campaign. She would also like to thank the student body for giving her a chance to show that she is capable of being this years SAC president. If you have any ideas about events or other suggestions contact Pooja Bhagat through facebook, email and text.

Interview With Ms. Debbo Pearson Press: Hi! First off, welcome back to Pearson! Can you tell us about yourself? Ms. Debbo: I currently teach two grade 12 university English classes and a grade nine essentials English class. I began to teach in 2001. I actually started at Pearson and taught from 2001 – 2003. I also taught French, Learning Strategies, and ESL. English is my favourite subject though. I taught ESL in Oman, which is located in the Middle East. I taught there for three years. Pearson Press: Why did you choose to travel to Oman and teach there? Ms. Debbo: I hate winter. After spending my winters here, enough was enough. I chose to teach in the Middle East because it’s always warm and sunny there. Pearson Press: What were the differences of teaching there as opposed to here in Toronto, Canada? Ms. Debbo: The difference there is that the boys and girls are seated at the opposite ends of the classroom and they never talk to each other. The girls also tend to work ten times harder than the boys. The boys were more concerned about playing soccer. They were also a lot more disciplined, polite, and hardworking. They were brought up a different way. The kids I taught ranged from 17 – 18 years old in age. Pearson Press: How did you enjoy teaching there? Did you have your worries about teaching in a strict Islamic country? Ms. Debbo: I enjoyed teaching there, although it was boring at times. There were some language barriers but most students spoke English well. I had fears of being female in a country predominantly run by males but overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Pearson Press: What was your first impression of Pearson and its student body? Does that impression still remain or has it changed?

Ms. Debbo in a Halloween costume.

Ms. Debbo: The students are lovely, hardworking, disciplined, and not apathetic. They are a lot more interested in their work. And yes, the initial impression still remains. Pearson Press: Can you tell us where you went to school? Ms. Debbo: I went to Unionville High for high school. I then went on to the University of Ottawa, Queen’s University, and then the University of Western Ontario. Pearson Press: Can you tell us your background? (Where you’re originally from) Ms. Debbo: I was born in South Africa and my father’s family is Lebanese. “The students are lovely, hardworking, disciplined, and not apathetic.”

Pearson Press: What made you want to get into teaching? Was that your first option?

Ms. Debbo: Actually, I wanted to become an archaeologist. I did my Masters in Classical Studies. I went on a dig to Italy, although I didn’t pursue archaeology because you needed a Ph.D. I didn’t want to do one so I chose teaching. I chose to teach high school over elementary school because I feel it’s easier. I love children but I couldn’t spend 3 – 4 hours a day with them. I’d find it too exhausting! Pearson Press: Thank you for taking your time to talk to us!

Hopefully you have learned some new facts about Ms. Debbo. Next time you guys run into some of the new teachers, make sure to make them feel even more welcomed than they probably already feel!

T h i s M o n t h ’s R e c i p e It’s that time of the year again. Yeah. Cool, chilly breezes make the hair on the back of your neck stand up on end. Oh, and the leaves on the trees are gone. Everything is sort of a splash of reds and browns and yellows, merged altogether to give you a scene of orange. That’s the colour that I think of when I think of autumn. Funny how pumpkins, squashes, gourds and so many other fall vegetables are orange as well. Maybe that’s why I decided on this perfect fall recipe – pumpkin soup. It is creamy, buttery, and so nice and orange – a warm velvet cream that’s just the kind of thing one would love going home to after a chilly day outside. 2 cups pumpkin diced and roasted

INSTRUCTIONS To get the pumpkin roasting while you prepare the veggies, cut the pumpkin into nice blocks and drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and let them roast in a 400 F oven. Once the pumpkin pieces are soft (takes around 30-40 mins) let them cool and peel off any skin. Heat a deep pot, Add butter and sauté onions, carrots and the roasted pumpkin with the sage leaves and a bit more salt and lots of black pepper. Cook for about 3 mins. Add the sugar and let it dissolve. Puree everything in the pot in a blender to form a thick smooth paste. Put it back in the pot. Stir in the broth and let the soup simmer for about 15 mins. Add the cream, a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg and stir well. Be careful not to add too much cinnamon or nutmeg! Taste and serve! Tip: Buy the small squashes that come in beautiful colors this time of the year, take a quarter of the top off, hollow them out and use as serving bowls for the soup!!

1 cup cream 1 cup vegetable (or chicken) broth 1 onion peeled and diced 2 carrots peeled and diced 2 tbsp. butter

Ad v i c e W i t h S w e e t An d S o u r ! Are you one of those who has many questions that puzzle your mind but have no clue where to ask for a solution? Well, this is the place for you! Ask your questions and see what Sweet and Sour has in store for you! Q: I am getting a lot of homework. Any suggestions? I don't think my teachers realize I have a social life unlike the nerds in my class. -Sincerely, Upset A: Dear Upset, Well, to be the devil’s advocate, teachers give you homework not just for them but for your benefit. At times I do agree, you want to have some days where you just want to chill with your friends. Remember, you’re not alone. Also try to balance out your schedule in a way that you feel relaxed and calm so that you can fully complete your homework to the best of your abilities. As long as you organize your time I don’t think completing homework will be a problem. -Sincerely, Sweet A: Dear Upset, Don’t do your homework. Your teacher has to understand that you have a social life. If the teacher asks why you are not doing your homework you may want to suggest that they get a social life also or maybe just a life in general.

Q: - I like this guy in school and I think he likes me too. He is nice to me when his friends are not around but when they are, he is rude. Do you think he likes me? -Sincerely, Confused A: Dear Confused, If a guy likes you and he thinks that you like him, he may be playing hard to get. If he’s rude to you then that just means he wants to hide the fact that he likes you in front of friends, depending on their response to this situation. Believe in yourself. That’s the key to true love. A: Dear Confused The guy probably does not like you. What are your chances? Look in the mirror and get back to me. -Sincerely, Sour

Is There Tommarow? - Soumia Allalou Is there a tomorrow? We sat here through the years Watched the sun slip away Saw the rain feed the earth And walked along with nothing to say Without even thinking if we’d be here today Or if we’d live until tomorrow With no knowledge of what’s to come Through our laughs and sorrow We've ignored the truth And thought there's always later

And who told you That you’d be here to see the sunrise And the nightfall? You live in a world of lies With fantasy in your mind Trapped in a worthless soul And when you leave us behind Your world suddenly gets cold. You’re all alone. What have you done?

L i f e As W e K n o w I t — R u k h s a r Z a i d i At times I feel life can be so unexplainably totally random. And yet we’re all here living each moment day by day... Why are we even here? Perhaps religion explains half of this to some of us, and maybe we all do have a purpose in life, but why are we burdened with the discovery? Why is it that the key to life is visible and yet so out of reach? Why can’t we just know exactly why we’re all here? Of course we wish the answers to these questions and many more were conveniently served to us on a silver platter, it would eliminate several obstacles and save us from emotional trauma. I mean, you’re here one moment and the next you’re gone. There’s no life security whatsoever. You can walk out of your house and get hit by a car, stabbed, shot or die a natural death. No one really knows when they’ll take their last breath. We spend so much time working toward a future, a career, and a life of luxuries, but for what? It can all be taken away in a snap of a finger. Why invest in and secure our future when life itself has no security, no insurance, absolutely no guarantee that you’ll wake up the next morning. If there’s anything that I’ve realized it’s that half the time we’re chasing after things that don’t even matter and tend to ignore and overlook the things that do. Perhaps the greatest irony in life is that the more we achieve the more we lose. The less we have, the less we’ve got to lose. With every step forward we take two back. There’s more abhorrence than there is love. Nice gear and improved quarters but fewer homes and atrocious values. Things that should matter, sadly don't, and things that shouldn't are constantly emphasized. Paradoxical contrast, no? Life is a gamble. The least we could do for ourselves at dusk is promise ourselves a life with no regrets.
