It scares me to think about the future, to think about where I'll be in ten years, even to think about what will happen after high school. I think too much about what's going to happen and not enough about what is happening so I think that this quote from Einstein is something that I should introduce into the way I think about things. Every moment that passes was once the future and now it's gone, so why not just live in today instead of stressing about tomorrow.

The Government's Blind Eye

On Tuesday, November, 11th, my school took a trip to the Sleeman Center to attend a Remberance Day ceremony. At the ceremony Dr. Bill Winegard made a shocking statement that more Canadian soldiers have lost their lives as a result of their own doing than as a result of the combat they served. Winegard also brought up the topic that the government is not helping soldiers who come back from combat with post traumatic stress disorder. In my opinion, the fact that men and women who have served their government in war, and now that the government is not helping them enter back into society is unacceptable. The government should be recognizing and helping the soldiers that return with PTSD instead of sweeping them under the rug. It is not fair for the government to turn a blind eye on these men and women in their time of need and something needs to be done.

Trick Or Treating Fun

At one time in the history of mankind, Halloween may have been Devil worshiping mayhem, but as society has developed so has October 31st. Instead of wearing masks to hide your face from evil spirits they are now worn to collect candy from neighbours. Halloween, aside from a few broken eggs is completely harmless fun despite its satanic roots.
