Are You Seeing What Other People See !

In the presentation TED.com he is basically explaining to the viewers that nothing is what it seems. Most of our knowledge is given to use by the media or learned throughout our lifetime from society. What should we believe about the colours we see. As a child we are taught the names of different colours but does every ones mind recognize the same colour or just the same name ? Racism is based mainly on the colour of a persons skin, and good and evil are distinguished by colours. If we didn't identify colour, would there still be racism or would everyone be accepted? Nobody knows what we are really seeing, touching, feeling , hearing or tasting. We are only told to know about them though family, friends and society.If there was no colour what would we judge people on?

Dreams Take Us On Journeys

Where would we be if we didn't have dreams ? Everyone has dreams whether they remember them or not. Many dreams I have had, have taken me on a journey, weather it has been a sad or happy dream. A dream I have experienced all started when my friends from Canada were living my lifestyle in England. It was odd. When I awoke I was very confused but also happy that the dream was not real. Since I have moved from England there are days when my reality seems like a dream and I dream about being back in England. After repeatedly dreaming of living in England with my friends from Canada I am no longer confused. I now know that it is a better lifestyle here with my friends than living in the big city in England. If not for the journey this dream took me on , I might still be hesitant about my move to Canada.

Journal #1 "Candy" by Kevin Brooks

I am very much enjoying my novel, Candy, by Kevin Brooks. Through out the book I have found many situations I can connect to, mainly because I am the same age as the main characters. Even Iggy ,who is portrayed as a bully reminds me of people I have encountered often throughout high school. One of the main questions I am eager to find out is about Candy's background and why she has become who and what she is. On page 102 Joe is eaves dropping on Candy as she is on the phone. He knows it is not a good conversation, " It wasn't nice to see. I turned away. Burying my head in the sand." I made a connection to this passage after my recent week spent away from school. Many times I forced myself to bury my head in the warm sand in Mexico, knowing I would have to come back and complete everything I had missed. Joe knows, like me , what is real but is choosing to ignore the truth. Eventually, like me, Joe will have to face the truth.

In the book ' Candy' by Kevin Brooks the main character Joe is falling in love with Candy but there is a difference in their behaviors. Candy had asked to go for a drink with Joe but Joe wants to go to the Zoo. This shows the different age and maturity levels. Later on in the book maturity changes and Joe wants to act older and Candy wants to act younger, the roles are reversed.

Being Passionate About Your Job!

I believe strongly it is important to be passionate about your job. If you are not passionate in your job, you have n0 motivation to put 100% effort into your job. spending a great deal of your life doing something you enjoy makes you feel like it is time well spent and proud. Not feeling passionate in your job pulls you down and makes life harder. An incredible lady that is passionate about her job is my mum. Tina (my mum ) had no problem starting her day with a few hours at work.Even though her career working at the hospital was not a teen ambition she is rewarded with the leadership that has resulted from being good at what she does.



With having great help from Heather Carter i have accomplished allot with the career i am planning to take. Being an interpreter for the blind comes with great passion and is over all an awarding job. i have already completed my second intervenor course where i had to travel to Vancouver every second week for 2 months. most of my sign language has come from working individually with john. After i have completed high school i will

Hardest decision of my life

I was only thirteen years old when i had to make the biggest decision of my life. I knew I had a choice to make ; either stay with my family in England or move to Canada, where I only had two family members that I wasn't very close with. It wasn't just a decision i could make in a day it took weeks, until i could get my head around the fact i didn't really have a choice. My mum, dad and sister were all going to Canada and living without them would be like losing a limb. I knew from the beginning when the words come out of mums mouth I would have to say my good byes to my friends and family and make a huge change in my life. The hardest thing about my decision was the tears that i watched full from my friends faces. As well as the hearts of my close family members that i knew were breaking inside. As much as they kept strong I knew all they wanted to do was break down and cry.

Top 3 countries to live in

If I could choose any three countries in the world to live they would be England, Spain and Canada. I feel very fortunate to have visited these amazing countries. Firstly my top country to live in would be England as I was born and raised there, as well as having most of my friends and all my family living there. I have had a great opportunity to travel all around England and experience the surroundings and culture. England would definitely be my top choice. Additionally Spain is an amazing enviorment to be in with lovely people surrounding you. The sparkling water reflecting of the sun as it hits my face to warm it, is a memory I will never forget. Also my nan and grandad have a condo on an Island called the canary Islands where tourists love to visit. There for I can travel and not have to pay for accommodation. As you walk out of the condo you are surrounded with shops where you can bargain and hustle people until they reach a price you are willing to pay. The pools and beaches are always packed full of people. It is an over whelming atmosphere that everyone should have a chance to experience. Finally, Canada; a country that has let my family be a part of it, where I have met new friends and gained trust with people I have only known for a few years. Canada has both hot and cold seasons where you can love the beaches, boat and the night life or if you are not a person for the beaches the winter is best for you. The snow is deep, fresh and sparkly. At Apex Ski Resort there are skills shown off by everyday people. Canada is an amazing place to live and raise your family because it is not crowded or overcome by poverty. Happiness is spend through every ones faces as they are very proud to be Canadian .Even though I have surrounded my self with different people opportunities, family always comes first.

Cancun

Cancun is the number one tourist attraction destination in Mexico. The main beach in Cancun is really a barrier island shaped like the number 7. Also very well know for student visiting during spring break. The average temperature in Cancun is 80F with more than 240 days of sunshine. Rain is rare, with late August through November being the rainy season. people have a reputation of being very friendly and welcoming. As well as feeling safe walking around down town Cancun. Down town Cancun has many markets within walking distance of hotels and luxurious beaches. No matter what your preference of food there is a variety of restaurants for everyone.The main reason for Cancun's popularity is the amazing night life. From the research I have accumulated, I have come to the conclusion that Cancun would be highly recommended as a tourist destination.

If I could have one superpower it would be the overall power to read other peoples thoughts. The reason I chose this power was because I could get myself out of situations before they occurred. Some great examples where this power could come in handy would be buying someone the perfect gift, trying to disarm a terroist and working as a security person at an airport. By having this superpower I can not only help myself but I can help the world.
