My Body and Spirit
Clint Yakubowski

When I'm alone
I like to stare at the
sky. I hope to see my
son and best friend
again when my time
is to come home.

When I am looking at the sky I feel relaxed. I feel the joy of someone watching me. I can feel the presence of their spirit.

When I am alone I sit and think of my best friend and the things we used to do together when we grew up. Sometimes I think of my son and the things I could have done with him.

When I am sitting alone, my body, mind, emotion and spirit are relaxed.

Dealing with Racism
Marilyn Dymchuk

I get called retarded by my father when I talk. My father teases me when I talk and walk. I feel like no one likes me, and so I feel like doing myself in. So I asked for help to work with that. I was unhappy, because of that I feel like I should go to counseling.

My New Place
Robert Crawford

I like my new place because it is bigger than the one I had before. I got new furniture, three shelves and a new couch. My new place is on 104 street and 107 avenue. It is four blocks from The Learning Centre. The other place was about twenty blocks away.
