Flipping to the Next Chapter
This illustration represents helping people who are struggling and reminding it is okay to ask for help. The person reaching out their hand symbolism support to those who feel unseen. The illustration shows that by offering help, we can help people and create a safer environment, and provide the help people need.
This illustration shows the struggle many teenagers face between telling the truth and lying. Such dilemmas are faced every day by many students, likely including many here at Woodbridge. By allowing students to wallow in their inability to decide which course to take, we as their educators and guides are failing them. The very people who are meant to guide and shape these young minds are letting them flounder in a state of confusion. We must find a way to guide students through a world of conflicting messaging and provide them with a way to choose things that will build and restore relationships.

"The inspiration behind this work was trying to depict a casual hang out between girls but in a spiritual way. The green figure represents ancient Aztec spirits of women who die during childbirth (who are considered warriors). The blue figure holds an Egyptian lotus, a symbol of mysticism and spirituality. In short, it combines female spirits from different cultures who all hold different symbols," junior Hana Ali said.
