What it means to be Canadian, my Canadian Identity

What does it mean to be Canadian?

Being a Canadian is much more than living and being in Canada. The title itself holds significance. When people think of Canadians they associate it with five major things, which are:

1. Toronto Raptors is a Canadian founded basketball team that is part of the National Basketball Association, the team itself represents the integrity and grit Canadians possess. The actions in which the individual players show forth reflects who we are. Since the Toronto Raptors have gained many fans so have Canadians, we are now known for being athletic, versatile, full of character, and friendly. 
   
2. When the word Canadian comes up many people link the word with the season winter, to be Canadian you have to know how to deal with these harsh conditions .Television advertisements about jackets(Canadian Goose) and the showcases that Canada is known for its cold winters and good jackets.
   
3. To be Canadian it means to be nice and full of character. Canadians are great people with tender and loving hearts who genuinely like to help people.
   
4. To be Canadian it means being blessed with the opportunity of inexpensive  health care that way pay for through tax.
   
   
   
5. If you ask me what it means to be Canadian, Id say...to be Canadian means being blessed with the rights and necessities everyone deserves such as good food for a low price or free health care, to be Canadian to me mainly means being optimistic and open to new things because as you can see many there isn't really a set color for Canadians we are a multicultural country. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-radio-and-tv-18086952

Sylvia Plath

This quote by Sylvia Plath showcases an important reality in the lives of many teens and adults today. I too am a strongly believer of this quote,i believe that if one has the proper mindset all things become possible for them. I also strongly believe that the reason people dont follow their dreams or accomplish the goals they set out is because they think that it isn't possible for them or isn't realistic. For example, most people say they want to be successful but they dont want it bad they just kinda want it , they dont want to be successful as bad as they want to party or even sleep. This relates to what Sylvia is saying because many people today will blame others for their misfortune but in reality its their fault, they are their biggest discouragement. Personally this quote speaks volumes to me because it stands true for me in certain situations, but upon reading this quote it motivated me to be a better me.

3 Future Goals

Throughout each stage of my life i have set goals for the future that help me to stay motivated and determined. Setting goals for yourself is a good practice because it helps you in a lot of ways, for example setting goals could help you stay on task and focused. The three goals i set for myself  consists of long-term and short-term goals.

1. Before i graduate high school, i would like to make a difference in the lives of those around me. I have been inspired by a particular teacher who shared with me their secret to happiness, they told me that through making others happy you will become happy as well.Before i graduate i want to change the life of at least one person for the better, it could be something as little as making them feel safe or inspiring them to do good or even being there for them in times of difficulty.
2. After high school i will like to be attending University of Toronto by God's grace and through hard work and dedication i will achieve honor roll again in my grade 12 year. Also, during my time at the university i am going to achieve a GPA of 3.2 and these grades will help me achieve my next goal which is to get into Medical School.
3. Lastly, my final and most important goal is to become a doctor and help people in their everyday lives. I want to honestly impact the world and make it a better place , whether that means sacrificing my time in attempts to save someones life or just doing the right thing my helping the less fortunate but either way i want to make a difference.

These are the goals i set for myself and i will achieve them no matter what adversity's stand against me I will never give up!!!!!

Simpsons Predicting the Future

For the past few years there has been a big spike in conspiracy theories, one source of conspiracies viewed by many is the kids show Simpsons. They have literally predicated the future multiply times, and the amazing thing is that they predicated it 10 -15 years before it even happened!!! For example in 1997 a Simpsons episode aired , in the episode homers son Bart reported symptoms of an unknown virus called "Ebola" . More than 10 years late this episode came to pass as the Ebola virus spread widely around the nation. Another terrifying example of how the Simpsons predicated the future was with the 2016 presidential elections. The episode aired almost 10 years ago and during that time no one would ever even imagine someone like Trump running for president but it happened, and the weird part is they got every detail from what they wore till things that happened such as signs falling. There are still many things predicated on Simpsons that are yet to happened and it will be interesting to find out how they play out.
