Hello, my name is Eric MacDonald and I’m very interested in applying to your school. I first came to SHS in grade 1 and I have stayed there to Grade 9. I’ve went for several tours of your school and I’ve spent a day there. I was very impressed and I got a great vibe from this school. This school is my first choice and I’m very happy to be applying there. The York School is my school of choice because I love to be challenged (and the IB program is challenging) and because it advanced and strong in every aspect of the school.

I believe that at SHS I help to keep it a small, successful working environment. I love to lead and challenge myself. I believe I bring a inviting feeling to the school because I’m friends with everyone. I like to always update my school for technology and try to create/improve things around the school. This year I’m the IT (media) captain and this basically means I work to keep our technology up-to-date and I also help with anything tech-related. This year I also played a big part in the making of an elective. I found out about an animation program, learned how to use it, then I presented it to the tech group. It became an elective and I constantly aid the kids in it and sometimes teach.

I was very impressed with your academics and you guys have a great facility. I love technology and you guys were very up-to-date in that category. I like to work in a small environment and your school had a very friendly vibe. Your school was also co-ed and that keeps you interested in school. I think I would fit in and be a positive influence in the class.

This is why I think I would be a great addition to your school and I would love to come. Your school was really appealing and I was very impressed.


Yours truly, Eric MacDonald

The Toy Dinosaur

The Toy Dinosaur

These little kids grab me with their sticky, grubby hands

It seems every week they grow, getting taller and stronger

They squeeze me ever harder until one day, they seem to stop

I was left on my shelve, alone, untouched, unbothered

My old playmate walks by with people that look like him

He laughs, runs, and plays, but not with me

Maybe he is too big to play with me, maybe he doesn’t like me

All I can do is wait, unable to move, and unable to speak

Doors

Doors

All I ever do is sit motionless, harmless, and soundless

Yet all these people do is bang on me, twist my hands to painful degrees and slam me shut

Sometimes they freeze me by twisting a gadget above my hand and the only way to free me is within the power of a slender metal object

They insert this object right into my hand (without permission) and turn it

This of course is followed by a sensation of freedom

I’ve heard stories though of my friends being attacked and smashed by cloaked people

The people take stuff without permission and always raise a loud whining sound from a machine near me

Apparently they sometimes stick mini slots on me for little hairballs to run in and out of

It disgusts me

At least when I need a bath I'm carefully soaked and scrubbed
