4 Questions I Had While Watching 'Degrassi: The Next Generation'
abc.net.au/degrassi

If you are a fan of the old Degrassi like me, when Jimmy was in a wheelchair and Emma was still a nerd, here are a few questions that you had while watching “Degrassi: The Next Generation."

1. What ever happened to Terri MacGregor?

Terri was a student at Degrassi, she was a plus size model, on the lacrosse team, and had body image issues. Throughout the seasons, she started dating a new student named Rick Murray. After the relationship with her boyfriend Rick became serious, it became abusive as well. Terri was eventually sent to the hospital due to serious injuries. The episodes that came after this event seemed to have forgotten about Terri completely. It had been rumored online, that after Terri was released from the hospital and then her mom made her transfer schools.


2. Why didn’t Jimmy Brooks ever return from Europe?


After Rick Murray was bullied, he went on a shooting spree and Jimmy Brooks was caught in the line of fire. This event caused Jimmy, the basketball star, to be wheelchair bound. He continually did therapy to bring back the feeling in his legs and to improve his “walking.” When this failed, him and a friend he met at therapy, heard about the testing of stem cells on humans in Europe. They had heard that these stem cells could bring back the feeling in their legs, so they left for Europe and never returned. Some conclusions from this were that, Jimmy was written out of the show because of his thriving rap career in real life.

3. Who was Heather Sinclair?


On almost every episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation, the character “Heather Sinclair” was brought up in conversation. But who was this mysterious, popular girl? All the characters seemed to have known her as the popular girl and the one not to mess with, but she was never actually seen in the show. No one ever played this character on the show; she was sort of like an imaginary character.

4. What ever happened to Spinner Mason’s little sister?


In the beginning of the first couple of season, Spinner Mason had a younger adopted sister named, Kendra Mason. She dated another character Toby and was on the lacrosse team. Kendra was not one of the major characters, which made it easier for viewers to forget about her. She was only seen in a few episodes throughout the shows career, but never had any major parts.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
