Juan's Declassified School Survival Guide

Once upon a time there was grade 12 student name Juan. He went to high school in Kitchener, Ontario, and at the beginning of grade 12, he had his heart set on Wilfrid Laurier and their Languages studies program. However in October of that year, his Grade 12 French teacher had ordered a Liaison visit from Glendon College, and he fell in love. He wanted to major in French studies and was considering pursuing a career in education. The French program, the bilingual atmosphere of Glendon and the Concurrent Education program all seemed to good to be true, but he applied anyway. He was accepted and in September of the following year, he began his studies at Glendon, and he there decided he wanted to double major in Drama and French. He lived happily ever after.
