Hopes ans dreams

kids have the funniest ambition we it come to what they want to be growing up. I was no different. But those dreams are always short lived. As we grows up we realize that those are just that dream, so at one point we have to begin  to consider our real option.

At first I wanted to write comic novel. I tried my hand at drawing many time  but i lost taste when i saw how other were far better then me. The only thing I got out of it is that it marked the beginning of my passion for reading. Most of the good comic novel being in English I also ended up bettering my mastery of the thong.

Drawing comics book being out of the picture i turned myself to another of my passion, reptiles. For as long as I can remember we always had one kind of lizard or the other at home. But that when I got my first iguana, Maggy, that I decided I wanted to raise them for a living. That hope kept on for a while until my early adulthood. But that dream to ended when Maggy died laying her first batch of egg. I could not bare to try with another iguana after her death.

I was left without ambition afterwards. I went trough my high school without knowing nor caring I would do later in life. All I really wanted was to leave my stepfather home. Then I was force to leave high school to get a job. I was contempt to get by during that period. Then many thing happened good thing and mostly bad thing. Then I went by to school to finish my secondary five and i managed to do it with impressive result. But I still wasn't sure want i wanted to do with my life. Then another event made me go to the cegep That where I found something that really made me happy, literature, and that's with the purpose of working in  the domain that I'm continuing my studies.

In conclusion,  what I meant to say all along is that for me my carer choice was influenced by the event of my life. If thing had been different I might have aimed for a more lucrative job, but the fact is that the only thing i desire in a line of work is that it makes me happy. Even if the odds are that I won't find any work my goal is set and I am taking this road without looking back.

Ok, immigration, that going to be an hard one. Should we help those who come in our country from other one or leave that duty to our gouvernment? I think that we both have our part to do to help them adapt. The gouvernement is to one who has the most to gain by increasing is population and thus should put more effort in helping them. For our dutie, helping them is a morale decision more than anything else. But what we do not realise is that they can help us as much as we can help them. I remember for one when I came to Granby from my little town of St-Pie. This where I shaw my first african american, my first asian and all the other. At first i looked at them as if they where aliens from another world, and as far has I knew they where. Looking back at that time I cannot help but smile at how i was short minded. I could have learned so much from them back then, becose learning other view on thing is one of the best way to develop ourselves on the culural and intelectual level. Just look at history. The roman, for all their goods and their wrongs, became one of the greathest civilisation the world has ever know by assimiliting other culture and learning from them. They knew that they did'int had all the answers and so they expanded their horizon to new idea by taking the best from every one they meet. We could to learn from the peapol that come into our country. We think that we are the ones who should teach them but why can't we learn from each other? Helping them is not an obligation it is an oppotunitie for both side to grow as hummans being. Our world is a big place with many things and many peapols and we have much to learn from them.

Poverty as it was the case with the Greek civilisation is more often then not to cause of an unbalance betwen the wealth and power of his diffrent social classes. Meaning that when the wealthy have to much influence and power they make sure to stay that way witch cause the peapol with lower income to suffer de for them. For exemple when a country has to many deps like the United States must raise its taxes to compensate the common classes always end up being the one paying the most while the richer citisens are protected by the laws they mades sure where voted for. In my point of view the best remedy for poverty would be to make sure that the laws made to makes sure that every citizens is treaten envenly would actually be respected and not filled with lophole that help the richs get richer. Such a harsh change would probably unpset temporalie the balance of power and provoke many companie to leave our country but in the long run we would be rewarded with a prize many have fighted for before us.... equality.

The community

Being part of a community is different from citizenship. Entering or leaving a community is mort of the time an indivudal choice. You etheir join or are born into a community, and the choice of leaving the community is always your.... Even if it can prove to be complicated with some of them for exemple some religious communitys. Each community come with its own set of rules and principel but most of the time folowing those rules is not a legal obligation but a moral decision.

What is the meaning of citizenship?

Being a citizen is being part of a nation. Citizenship is aquire by birth or after living a set number of years in the same country and it comes with a number of rights and responsabilies. first, a citizen has the rights of: equality, mobility, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and to participate and vote to elections.  But being a citizen also comes with some responsailitie for exemple a citizen is obligated to come to the rescue of another citizen who's life is in danger as long as his own life is not threatened. He also has a oral obligation to vote in any election. And obviously, a citizen must respect the laws of the country he lives in and protect the country heritage and environment.
