Time for some creative writing, J-Students! In the style of a cooking recipe, you will concoct a recipe for "Success as a Mary Ward Student." Supporting artwork encouraged. The tastiest recipes will be published in the Mary Ward Planet. Due November 17th.

This is my final year at Mary Ward and i can say that my high school career here at our self directed learning centre has been pretty successful. I have never failed a course and only went to summer school once for gr.10 math, but i am trecherous at math so it does not count. Let me tell you this and you can ask my friends that have been around me for the past four years, i never do work at school. My day at school usually consits of talking to friends, looking at my agenda, and doing whatever i want..... sorta.........although it may not seem like the best strategy for this school i got by every year like this, while taking all university or academic courses. The thing for me was that i did homework at home for about an hour or two almsot every single day and i was fine. For those people and teachers that say you need to work 4-6 hours a day at home, that is complete B.S. If you work hard at home and do what you have to do the only thing you need for a recipe to be successful at ward is patience and determination. Becaue without either of these qualities i would drive myself crazy over the work load i had which was never really that high, becasue i did what i had to do at home, while still having fun at school.
