D is for diversity

Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another uniqueness." This is a comment bye Ola Joseph. To me this quote is saying that just because we have differences, it doesn't mean that we should treat each other differently. You might not agree with this but of course this comment will have many diverse opinions.

Diversity is what brings us all together. We need to share each others culture and if we think its strange for someone from a different to be our country, then we have no idea what we're saying. They have all the right. Its like what I said before they are doing what they should be... learning other cultures and sharing there religion with just being there. It can also be quite fascinating to see someone from the Middle East wearing a burqa because it really gets you thinking... what if i were her? They must also be fascinated.

Just yesterday I was in the mall when I noticed some women in burqas walking buy some Mennonites and she seemed so surprised that there were people like this. The funny part about this was that the Mennonites were so surprised that there were people like that. Ironic isn't it.

We as Canadian citizens are surrounded by people of every country and everyone's opinion so that we can make Canada better for everyone. And its important for Canada to have diversity, it makes the world know that anyone can come here and feel like there at home. And not to mention we are considered super friendly and welcoming.

At school we are also having a diversity day so I thought that this would be the best time to explain it. Diversity isn't just that wide range of different cultures it is a wide range of anything. In this case its colour so you will get to wear a colour that is stands for something for example leukaemia is the colour orange or Lavender is any cancer (all of them). These cancer ribbons are a perfect example of diversity because the are all different.

In conclusion diversity is all around us all the time and we just need to say "hello diversity and welcome to my life." If everyone does this then Canada, or even the world will be a way better place for everyone.

P is for People

Everyday you're surrounded by people, but could you imagine them disappearing. Well imagine that you were shipped away to a desert island. Away from not only your friends but everyone. How would you feel, how would you react. Would you be shocked, would you be happy, sad, or would you laugh.

I would probably cry because I love my family, my friends, and I would even miss my teachers. But who am I to know, I am surrounded by hundreds of people everyday and going off to a desert island is a very unlikely situation.

Many people enjoy alone time but still have people around them in there everyday environment. Others enjoy the company of others and to be on a desert island alone would be very hard for them.

Theirs also another side of being around people its the feeling of recognition. I have also noticed when I'm sitting around in a place full of people who I am very familiar with and still be able to find different characteristics about them that you never noticed before. How is this well over the years our focus is still improving but weakens as we get over 20-30 says the NATO. So when we look at someone we don't usually notice the small things but when not deep in conversation and just deep in thought we notice these small things usually one by one.

In conclusion people have a huge influence on our life's, the way we act, and the choices we make so even if we are stranded on a desert island alone, our life's would change forever.

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
~ Bible: Ecclesiastes

E is for Easter Bunny

You know those urban myths about the Easter bunny, the ones that say that he comes gives you chocolate or he's a cute little bunny who all the kids love. Well to me, those urban myths are all wrong and people need to be faced with the truth about the evil Easter bunny.

My realization that the Easter bunny was a evil stalker all started at my aunt Julie's wedding... on Easter. I was four and obviously still believed in the Easter bunny. Julie was very loving and a big fan of kids so she decided to get a friend to dress up in an Easter bunny costume to entertain us well they had adult talk. This didn't end very well. As the Easter bunny approached me I screamed in terror because my brother and cousins ran away to the pond. I was alone. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. Eventually I ran away but stopped to see my uncle take off the head of the bunny costume. I was shocked he wasn't real but instead he attacked me. Maybe he ate my uncle or my uncle killed him from the inside or maybe... I don't know, anything could have happened. Every year on Easter night I have had this nightmare and each time the ending changes.

Now hopefully you know how I feel. Everyone has fears but I think that this one is very sever. My mom even has noticed and always knew to never buy me Easter bunny stuffed animals, no matter how cute. So instead on Easter she gives me chocolate Easter bunny's so I can eat away the fear.

In conclusion all fears are different but this one is serious so although Easter is over be aware and watch out for the evil Easter bunny because you never know when he'll attack!

We believe in the tooth fairy, if we believe in Santa

then shouldn't we believe in the Easter Bunny

No

or is he all that good

No

so watch out, he may just be lurking about!!!
