Limitless Potential

A Paper Craft Castle On the OceanWith post-secondary early acceptance just around the corner, no doubt many of us are thinking hard about what we want to do with our lives. 

We’d like to highlight some students who took the creative path with their life, like Wataru Itou.  This Tokyo art student poured over four years of hard work into the paper city you see on the left, and is well recognized as a “master of Paper Craft”. 

Closer to home, Broken City Lab is a group of art students in Windsor, Ontario, who have come together to use their talent to “educate, inspire, and facilitate a new way of viewing the potential for interacting with and in [their] city”.  This group is very similar to our own Imaginary Ordinary – a real-life social networking ‘site’ where people of all ages from around Calgary can “meet and connect with one another”, which was funded in part by The Calgary Youth Foundation (a CYFC program).

As many of us get ready to start on our path into the “real world”, keep in mind that your potential is limitless!
