After watching the 3 A's of Awesome I feel very inspired to make to best out of every situation. After all these bad things that happened to this speaker, he found the good out of the little things. I admired that after losing his wife and best friend he changed his perspective and decided "yeah this really sucks but I'm not going to let it ruin my life. I need to get over this and I will". It really proves that with the right attitude, you can make good things come our of bad things and i can personally relate to his attitude change. And like he said, if you have the choice between being down in the dumps or picking your self up and finding happiness within, why not be happy?
Definately a must watch.

Today we are having a lockdown drill and it got me thinking.... after all these school shootings, I just want to know why. I just cannot comprehend why someone would go into an elementary or high school and just take innocent lives. I feel horrible for the kids that are scared for their lives everytime they go to school and I think that it's ridiculous that people actually have to think "Am I going to come back to my home after my day is done?". I feel safe in my school because we are all very friendly and i feel like no one would do that to one another but it could still happen. I want to move near Toronto for work when I'm older but I'm hesitant because there have been shootings in Toronto and I do not want to put myself or my future kids in that kind of danger. On the other hand I think maybe I should not be so afraid. Maybe I should focus on the positive things that could come out of moving there rather than the negative. Maybe I should just live my life and let whatever happens, happen. Just the fact that it is a possibility scares me.

We watched a documentry in my FFP class entitled "Generation Jobless". Here are my responses.
The documentry affected my field of interest by making me rethink pretty much everything. I was almost certain I wanted to go to school for cosmetology or interior design buy now I'm thinking I might doing something mechanical, like a technition or something.
The specific jobs I am interested in are make-up artist, hairstylist and possibly a stager. My back up plan if cosmetology doesnt work out is a stager and real estate agent.
You can gain experience by volunteering your time at a job that has to do with what you would like to do. You could also do an internship or get a part time job that is relivant to your long term job of choice.
I could build my creative skills, my people skills, my working with my hands skills (hand-eye maybe..?).
When I grow up.... who am I kidding, I'll never grow up and that will be fine
with me! I want to be fun and not get sucked into the boring old adult life. I
want to be sucessfull and love my job. I want to have a great relationship with
my kids and with my family. I want to have a killer fashion sense and most
importantly, i will be happy.
