April’s Blog ;)

Hey! 

My name is April; I’m 13. I go to Joseph H. Kerr School, and my teacher is Mr. Fisher. I live in a small town in Northern Manitoba – some people like to refer to it as “the bush” because it’s so small =P – but I love it! I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, it’s my favourite place in the whole wide world =). Anyways, there’s not much to do here, but everyone seems to make their own fun somehow. During the winter it’s almost always cold! Some people like to go sliding or skidooing/ice fishing, though. The summers, believe it or not, actually do get pretty warm. Almost everyone is out all of the time, mainly at the beach; swimming or playing sports. This is a small town, but it’s always fun here, as long as you’ve got friends to hang out with! =D 

So, I guess most of you have heard about this International Teen Life Project. For this blog post, I’m gonna write about some of the major concerns I have. So here goes… 

I think one of the major issues is hunger and people living on the streets. People are spending all of their money on expensive clothing, cars, and everything else, yet they don’t spend money on putting a roof on someone’s head, or providing food for them. I don’t think this is fair at all. How would you feel if you barely had any food to live off of, and you had the streets as a home? Exactly. I think people should take more consideration for others and help them out. Hunger and homelessness is something that should leave the planet for good. 

Another major concern is global warming. The thing is, it’s our fault that global warming is happening, and do we really want our planet to rot away to nothing? I would hope not. Anyways, there are a lot of simple things that we can do to prevent global warming. So why not go ahead and do it? It’ll save our planet, not to mention billions of lives. 

I don’t really know if this would be a problem, or just a thought, but I’m wondering what technology will be like in the future. Like computers and what not. How high-tech is stuff gonna get? Just look at how much iPods have changed over the years. Not to mention laptops and computers, and almost any other technology you can think of. Like I said, I don’t know if this is a problem, but I’m just wondering… 

Anyways…I think that’s basically all of my concerns for now & the future. If you have any concerns, please feel free to post a comment.

Heyy. XD

Sorry I haven’t written in two weeks, but we were out for Christmas holidays, which lasted for two weeks! I had so much fun! I got a lot of stuff for Christmas, but the main things I got were a stackable stereo, Metallica DVDs & “Master Of Puppets” CD, iHome (plays songs from my iPod while charging it at the same time & has a built in alarm clock), a framed & signed picture of Eric Szmanda (plays Greg Sanders on CSI) from Toni, and DC clothes. What did you get for Christmas??

I think the best part of this Christmas Break was all the time I spent with my friends. Greg came for a visit which was good because he’s one of my greatest friends and I missed him. I also watched a lot of movies over the break with my friends, more than I can remember =P. Now we’re back in school which sucks because I was having an awesome break =(. It was also extremely hard to get up this morning. At least this day was pretty easy, but it was difficult to stay awake!

How was your break? What did you do? What did you get for Christmas?
