Although I have learned these values, and so have many other people, numerous people choose not to use them. My value on society today, is not very high. People have become so materialistic and self-induced, it is just sick. Views of people today as opposed to the peoples of ealier decades have completely changed. Give a kid a rock to play with in the 1950’s and they would be happy. Give a kid a rock today and they would probably throw it at you demanding a new cell phone and hundred dollar t-shirt. It is all about the brand names and who is better than whom. Children have lost the value of a dollar and the importance of hard work. They do not realize that “money does not grow on trees” and think everything comes for free. I believe asking your parents for money if you work is wrong and selfish. Why not give back to them, help save for your education, your future? I can say this now, because I evidently now understand a kind of concept of money. I have held a job since the age of thirteen. Growing up I did not have everything handed to me on a silver plate.

Everyday, everyone gets a chance to our own ticket to the adventure that is life. It is up to us to cash it in. We get an unrestricted number of chances in our lives. Chances to win, lose, or simply play the game. The odds are usually not in favor of us, but we should not underestimate the value of them. We have been taking chances from as far back as we can remember. The outcome of these chances helps us to learn a lesson that we probably could not have learned if it was not for the situation. A lesson that teaches us something important; something we will never forget.

We, as people living in society are like clay. Although pressure may warp our outer shell and cause weakness in our foundation, it can also mold us into better people. As people look at the holes in our structures, they will not point out the negative, but instead our potential to mold ourselves into an even better person.

With everything in life there is always good news and bad news. We, the “people”, have the chance to change the world. We have the opportunity to save lives and create masterpieces. The bull is rushing at you now. You can drop the cape and run or learn how to scream Ole! For we are the mapmakers, and the dream realtors. Life is coming to theatres near you in the blink of an eye and you have the ticket. All you have to do is cash it in. Live life, do not just exist and do something with your being. Remember the teachers and friends that helped us to be independent thinkers by leaving us to hit that one rough assignment with no guidance; those that taught us of commitment by making sure we were at every practice, rehearsal or event; those that helped develop our senses of humor by making us laugh at ourselves; those that taught us how to be good friends by always being there for us; and most importantly of all, taught us to have confidence in ourselves by assuring us that we would be successes.

It comes time in ones life when they are expected to move out of their parents house and become something of themselves, or well that is what my impression on growing up was. Sitting here, it is really starting to make me realize how much time I really do have in Yellowknife left. I’ll be off in September, off to do better things in life, meet new people, learn new things, but most of all become who I think i want to be. I want to get out and explore, it is making me stomach sick thinking about my life is chastely approaching. Time to grow up vic, no more childish talk, no more games. Time to become more of a woman. The thought of child birth right now just makes my stomach curdle. Sometimes I am wishing away my youth, but one wise person once told me. ” Its a whole new world out there, don’t go wishing the future, live your life now.”

Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection[1] and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure (“I loved that meal”) to intense interpersonal attraction (“I love my wife”). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love[2] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.[3] Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

So christmas was great, but it blows my mind how kids are so attached to the materials of christmas and not the real meaning. Christmas to me is the time to be with your family and enjoy that time. That’s why I felt like I needed to come home for christmas, and the fact that I was homesick too.

Well anyways the New Year is coming up and everyone seems to be preparing their new years resolutions. Youll hear the typical I want to loose this much weight, go to the gym this many times a week. Well like my friend Martin pointed out, the gym will be packed for the first few weeks then BAM! its quiet again, ahaha, which kinda makes me laugh to an extent being on a student budget, the gym is not cheap.  So here are my New Years resolutions, and yes Kyle there in list form. Sorry.

1- Loose 10-15 pounds by April 15.

2- Go to the gym 3-4 times a week with Kristen!

3- Drink Atleast 5 glasses of water a day cause I suck at it.

4- Stay in school

5- Cut my hair every 6 weeks.

6- Keep healthy.

I know mine are pretty lame, but everyones are different and personalized to them

love always.
