About Chris: I am a 2nd year student at the University of Toronto studying Social Sciences. I lived in Paros Greece for most of my life, but a couple years ago my parents stripped me of my friends and family to bring me to Toronto, in hopes of getting a degree so that I would be able to provide for my siblings back home. This goal is far fetched but with the help of the GSA and my new friends I have been able to begin my quest. Thank you GSA.
