Marlo: Becoming An Ally
'I guess it runs in the family because I remember my grandmother. We were talking to her about would she like to go into a home because she was starting to lose certain functions, and it was getting more challenging for her and the family, and she said, “Why would I want to go in those places? They’re full of old people.”'
Christina: Growing Pains
"I think the Sense Project is having growing pains too and is coming into its own and is trying out things and like oh that doesn't fit, that doesn't work, and oh that person doesn’t like me, whatever, I’m not going to like go hide in the corner and cry, like I’m actually going to find ways to like be myself, and so, in a way, it's funny how the Sense Project is like a teenager in many ways."
Introducing Christina and the Sense Project
"The Sense Project is a sexual health education project at Head & Hands. Its scope is to deliver workshops in schools and high schools in Montreal, and to also train volunteer at peer educators, so high school students, to be sexual health advocates in their school and in their communities. So that’s generally the scope of the Sense Project."
Matt: High School Sucked
"I think my initial motivations were um that I think if I, when I was in high school if I had that program, my, the decision-making I, well the decision I made about my schooling would have been different and I probably would have had a much better experience with high school because I had a really terrible high school experience."
Miriam: An "Average" Day
"I think nothing ever got done 100% so this research is kind of half-done. The fundraising definitely didn’t get done to the best of its ability. If there’s only one person doing 5 things, then everything gets done 1/5 of the possibility that it could get done."
