Long time no talk. I've been occasionally monitoring this blog and checking in, but by no means have I been to active. It's been over a year since I finished the page program, and a lot has happened since. I figured that since election day is today and soon a new batch of pages will be working, I'll wrap up the last 16 months.
In April 2013, an article was posted about me by the CJN, a small newspaper company in my area. Read it here!
During the summer, some of the pages from my group got together in Niagara Falls for a meet-up. An article was published about that in the local Niagara news, and we met up with the Kim Craitor, who has since stepped down from the Legislature. Nonetheless, we had an awesome time!
We've had a few meetups on top of that- a meetup at Wonderland, and just last week we met up downtown and visited the Legislature. To anybody who does get accepted/has already served, make sure to arrange as many meet ups as you can! It's been awesome hanging out with my page friends again :)
I just wanted to speak about one last thing: I've been receiving a lot of requests from people for me to send them my essay. I understand that you want help on your application, but I don't really feel comfortable continuing to do this. For that reason, I'm going to stop doing this.
If you ever need any other help on your essay, I'll be more than happy to help out with that! I'm willing to answer questions, give suggestions, or even read over your essay (as long as it isn't around exam times, it gets really stressful at this time of year).
If you need any help, feel free to email me at daniellaemik@gmail.com
The due date for the next session of pages is coming up soon, good luck to all the future pages applying!
