Winning Entry "The Reason" In ReBOOT/PtboCanada.com Computer Contest

/

Congrats to Alex Crowley, 25, who is the winner of our ReBOOT/PtboCanada computer contest for this submission:

 

The REASON

By Alex Crowley:
My mother is the reason. She taught me Right from wrong.
My mother is the reason. Early in my life she taught me our Culture.
My mother is the reason. Achieving a goal she taught me.
My mother is the reason. Study hard and you will find your dreams.
My mother is the reason. Ojibway is the language she taught me.
My mother is the reason. Networking is something I could teach my mom.

Thank you for reading the poem dedicated to my mother. I could help teach her things on the computer that she never learned as a Native child growing up.

Shifting Gears Has Entered The Home Stretch

/

It is now the final week of Shifting Gears, and the numbers are starting to rack up. So far we have saved the same amount of CO₂ as the emissions from the electricity use of 2.7 homes for an entire year! Way to go Peterborough!
