To Protect and Serve.

I do not care who you are, what you do, or how you live your own life. Murder is illegal.

The Future

“If you’re brave enough to say “goodbye” life will reward you with a new “hello”.”

—  Paulo Coelho (Novelist)


     I chose this quote because I feel it not only brings inspiration to life but it also has a push of determination behind it. In a sense it gives people something to look forward to in a moment of despair. this quote means to me that there will be a positive to every negative and that with time, life will work itself out. When one door closes, another opens. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. If I keep repeating this quote to myself, I will certainly determine my future with confidence. 

Remembrance day

Remembrance day is a time to be thankful for the freedom we have. I believe it really makes us realize how lucky we are to live in Canada and have the privileges that we do. Even though the youth of today never has witnessed the past treacherous wars, we are still very blessed and honoured by the actions of our country. I, personally, am 100% against war, but I cannot imagine my life if it weren't for not only the veterans around us, but also the ones who never made it back.

Halloween Rant

I throughly enjoy Halloween. I am very interested in special effects makeup and horror movies are my "Forté". I think it's a great time with your family, decorating the house, carving pumpkins, and dressing up for FREE CANDY.  Halloween is my favourite day of the year, I believe it is an amazing time to express yourself and I also think that it is all for enjoyment and a good time. Not mention the market for Halloween items. Places such as "Spirit" that appear in the month of October at our local mall, make an absolute killing. No pun intended :)

What Does Poetry Mean To Me?

Unfortunately I do not like poetry. I appreciate it, and I respect it, but it is not my cup of tea. Through this assignment I have realized that poetry became for me a way to vent. I always have friends or family to talk to, but never achieved the same release, recently found through writing poetry. During self-recovery it may become useful.

Modern Education

     I find that nowadays teachers, and other staff within the school, have become more aware of the students needs, whether it be in regards to pace of homework/assignments, new teaching strategies, or respect towards the student. With these three aspects in mind, education has come a long way. To continue to stride for achievement in these areas, eventually the perfect balance will be reached. Of course everything is a two-way street, and we as the student have a duty to meet deadlines, respect our teachers, and communicate with them in order to keep our school work/lives organized. Working hard with the tools provided and understanding our peers and teachers will lead to success within our academics.

An Author and a Quote

Stephen King is the modern-day horror lord. With his books and movies being talked about all the time, it's hard not to know who he is. King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947 and was the second son of his parents, Don and Nellie. Stephen began his career of writing in his school's newspaper called The Maine Campus. Some of his popular titles are, Carrie, The Shining, IT, Christine, and Pet Seminary, to name a few. A quote said by Stephen King that I truly love is: “Kill your darlings, kill your darlings, even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler’s heart, kill your darlings.” This quote strikes me the most because, what Stephen is saying is that it is important to keep your readers interested. If it means killing off your main character, then do it. Your readers will hate you for it- but love you anyways.
