Write from the point of view of a wedding bouquet

The cameras began flashing "Click Click", it was the big day for the bride and I was there to make her look even better. The shining glitter began falling from her face which landed on my petals. The warmth of the brides hands held me nice and snug and in place so I wasn't able to move. I was moved forward with the bride down the aisle, I saw several faces looking at the bride and me. Atlast, we both had reached the alter. I stood still for a few minutes and was soon squished between a gentlemen's buttons, I believe this was the groom while the bride was leaning in for a kiss. A few moments later the bride turned around and threw me in the air, it felt as if my heart had dropped but I was caught by her sister. The family began to cheer I couldn't figure out whether they were cheering for me being caught or for the bride's sister catching me.
My fellow friends had told me that once I was thrown I symbolized who was next on the list to get married.
I guess I brought nothing but joy to the wedding!

Passionate about your job

I believe that it is important to be passionate about your job because it is based on something you doing for a living for the rest of your life. Your job is based on what one looks forward to each morning. If your not passionate about your work where does success fall into place? Your job should be an activity that moves you forward, enlightens the day with stories to share, but it seems as if many individuals are more money driven rather than enjoying what they need to do for the rest of their lives.

Career wise I am planning on pursuing my bachelors of arts in criminology. You need to be passionate about your job because it requires working long hours. It is not a job where you can jump out of your seat and believe that it is time to go home.
I hope to attend SFU.

10 Top reasons to share a room with your best friend

The top 10 reasons to share a room with your best friend are:
1. Clothes- We all believe to have a problem with deciding what to wear and when to wear it. Sometimes it's harder than that when your unsure of what to where you can always go to your best friends closet and pick out something you do like.

2.Food- Saving money by having someone split the cost of food, so your not always having to buy it.

3.Comfort- You always need someone there to talk to, but when your best friend shares the same room it is much easier to talk about problems.

4. Music- Sharing music allows you not to listen to the same song over and over.

5. Vehicle- Transportation is much easier because you'll be able to grab your bestfriend when needed to go somewhere.

6. Homework help- Studying the same subjects in University, allows you to share answers and talk over problems that are more difficult.

7. Bored- When you and your best friend are both facing the same problem of boredom you can talk about anything desired.

8.Together Forever- Always being together allows you not to call each other all the time.

9. Time of meeting up will never be a problem because you will arrive together

10.Makeup and Accesories- Knowing that if you need something to glam you up, you can always go to your best friends make-up drawer.

These are some of the top reasons to share a room with your best friend, it is important having someone always there when you need to talk and when you need to borrow their clothes and accessories.

History behind the book


In the novel "The book of Negroes" by Lawerence Hill, there are many settings in the story, but most importantly it starts off in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, and is the home to 6.4 million people. In 1787, when this book was written a plan was purposed to the poor people of London to settle in Sierra Leone which was called the "Province of Freedom". A number of people arrived in 1787, looking for change. In 1787, a plan was made to settle some of London's "Black Poor" in Sierra Lerone in what was called the "Province of Freedome". Many "Black Poor" arrived off the coast of Sierra Leone accompanied by some English trademen. Thousands of formely enslaved Africans were returned and liberated in Sierra Leone. These Africans whom returned were from many areas of Africa.

The Hazards of Humanity

1. The story "The perils of Indifference" can be re-written as "The Hazards of Humanity"



2. The ending of "The lottery" was completely ironic for many readers, one would think that the short story was about some lucky guy/girl winning a lottery. The lucky person would have had so much fame and money, nice cars and nice house, but instead the winner at the end of the story gets stones thrown at by the towns people and their own family. This can be related to third world and middle eastern countries where people throw stones at you to kill you if you have gone against the law or done something illegal.



3. Elie Wiesel's speech related to "The Lottery" in many ways both emotionally and physically. The story "The perils of Indifference" is about all the poor experiences that was faced by millons of people abroad. The Vancouver race riots were a group of English men who decided to throw stones and rocks at chinese business's as a sign of intolerance, this is relevent to "The Lottery" because at the end Mrs. Hutchinson gets all the rocks thrown at. Another example of the two, is how in the perils of indifference millions of people are taken to different countries but in the lottery all the townspeople know what is happening and are doing it as a tradition. Both writings have sad endings in which no one is happy, but as we move forward we will always remember the one's who sacrificed their lives for us.

Looking Forward to..

As a grade 12 student at Princess Margaret Secondary School, I am looking forward to many goals both long term and short. It is only September but it seems to be flying by pretty fast. I'm looking forward to my birthday which is October 7th and sixteen days after my birthday I get to go in for my New Driver's test! I hope I get it on my first try. Halloween is going to come around the corner, I'm not quite sure what I'm going to dress up as this year, but it should be interesting. Nothing really is happening in November, nothing that I'm sure of but it's another month closer to graduation. Ahh December will come and I'll have my brother coming home after a while, I'll get to see all my family during Christmas day and just have a good time. WOW that means New Year's is going to allow me to set some resolutions that are going to help me, I haven't thought that much of it yet. This also means it's a new year and you try and remember all the good times you had in 2009 and forget all the bad. Soon enough it's going to be February and there's only FOUR months until i walk across the stage. March will arrive and I'll have plans for a roadtrip with friends or go to Mexico and just have a great time during spring break for two weeks. Everything is going to settle down as University letters are being sent in April and May. JUNE!!! Graduation, Prom, final exams and summer is what i'm already looking forward to in September. Let's just hope that this year flies by and I won't have to count down the months.

My plans after I'm done school is to go to University either in Burnaby, Vancouver or Kelowna, but I'm not completely sure of what I'm going to do.

Top 3

If I had to chose my top 3 anything I would pick my favorite holidays throughout the year. December 25th Christmas, if only we had Christmas lasting everyday, with all the happiness with the family around and meeting cousins that i've never seen before. The presents being the best part and even all the suprises. Christmas dinner is also great too. My second favorite holiday is my birthay; October 7th. It's the one day of the year where no one can stop you from doing anything even my parents. The night where i have no curfew and friends being with me, getting all the neat presents always makes me happy, last but not least New Years. It's the one time in the year where you get to forget all about the bad memories in the previous year. New Years also means new resolutions! Even though you try to stick with them as much as possible there is always something that will prevent you from trying to stay on top of things.
My top 3 favorite holidays are Christmas, my Birthday and New Years, each for different reasons.
