Special request to all you kids returning to school in August: If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because he/she doesn't have many friends, or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most "in" clothes -- PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a BIG difference in someone's life! GYPSY FROM PAGE 11 no rehearsals, no practicing, no rewards, no paying audience, and most of all no fences. Swimming, surfacing, twisting, turning, tails slapping the water, just for the sheer joy of being free in the open sea. I watched until the last seal vanished with the evening, releasing me to the next thing, while once again mar- veling at the wonder of nature. TREMBLING WITH JOY The great sea has set me in motion, set me adrift, moving me like a weed in a river. The sky and the strong wind have moved the great spirit inside of me till I am carried away trembling with joy. ~ Inuit Shaman Uvavnuk Jane's book is WANDERINGS: Living the Ordinary Extraordinarily (Stories from the Road). This column consists of stories from the book. (email: janefi nley@yahoo.com, website: janefi nley.com) Arizona Western College (AWC) offers many courses including:.
