"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also"
Concerning Anger
Like many siblings, me and my
sister Kira fight, But at they end of
the day we love each other and
apologize.
Within my social circle my friends and i get into
fights, people say things they don't mean in the heat
of the moment. Although I can be hot headed and
sensitive i always am the first to apologize
afterwards.
During basketball games,
occasionally the officiating becomes
questionable. Sometimes i get angry
but at the end of every game I
apologize, shake their hand and
thank them.
Judging Others
In grade 10 i was hospitalized for
depression. From this experience
I learnt the most about judging
people. Most of these people
treated as outcasts were amazing
in their own way.
Attending summer camp teaches
you an important lesson about
judging others. You are introduced
to 55 people whom most you have
never met before. If you judge
them based on your first
impressions you will have a terrible
summer. I learnt to not judge
people based on first impressions
here. Sometimes people you least
expect become your best friends.
Overall keeping an open mind when
faced with new challenges, I am up for
new adventures with anyone.
Salt and Light
After being diagnosed with clinical
depression and receiving
treatment and coping strategies
people often come to me with
mental health questions, i happily
share programs and strategies
they can implement to help them
cope.
After playing basketball for years, i
used to help out with my youngest
sister, Tegan's basketball team.
Although i quit basketball i still help
her with skills whenever i can.
My sister is now 16 years old, she is
faced with many of the issues i had
when going through high school. i try
my best to give her advice in
advance before she has to learn the
lesson they hard way.
The Narrow Gate
Throughout high school you are
faced with many dilemmas, one of
them being those you call friends. It's
easy to get caught up in friends who
are not good for you. I made this
mistake in grade 11 and only this
year distanced myself from them.
Staying focused in school and on top of
work requires hard work. its easy to fall
behind and become discouraged. I am
motived to maintain a high average in
order to get money for schooling. this
requires giving up time with friends.
Staying drug free and not
giving in to peer pressure
Concerning Self-Deception
Respecting others property,
returning items found at school
to they lost and found
Studying and working hard
on my assignments instead
of cheating
