Sarah, our editor, is 23 years old, yet already suffering from an age complex. A recent graduate of Ryerson Polytechnic UniversityÕs journalism program, she is currently trying to encourage youth journalism in Canada. She likes her job at Tiny Giant because she doesnÕt have to get coffee for anybody but herself and has the opportunity to work with up and coming journalists.
Two of LorenaÕs goals this year are to be able to run the Toronto Marathon as well as get Tiny Giant Magazine back in circulation. ÒIÕve come to realize that these two separate goals have much in common. Exhilarating, challenging and enjoyable (my own horizontal Everest). My patience, my mental and physical strength have certainly been put to the test. IÕm aiming to cross the 26.2 mile line next year; as for now IÕm still training, a continual learning experience about myself

Nineteen-year-old Leslie aspires to be a graphic designer one day. She was a co-op student for Tiny Giant Magazine earlier this year, but has clawed her way up and is now an employee. This high school graduate will be pursuing her career by attending George Brown College in the winter. "Working here has given me very valuable experience and I actually enjoy working with Sarah and Lorena!! Is this possible?" she asks.
