So, What Do You Feel Like Learning?

There are many things that people want to learn. They can be from learning how to swim to learning how to take care of yourself. Everyone has some kind of big questions. Well so do I.

Some questions that I have are kind of simple like how to do laundry, how to cook big meals, how to fix household items like pipes when they break down and how to drive a car. There are also some bigger questions like how is it like living on your own, how is it like to live in a big city on your own, what is university like and what would it be like if I had kids when I got older. I am already learning a great deal of things to help me out in these situations.

Right now I am being taught lots of things. They include learning to take care of myself by doing laundry some days, helping clean the house and cooking supper every once in a while. I am also learning lots of things in school that could help me in my every day life like math.

In school I am learning almost everything I need to know for my age group. I don’t think that I want to learn much more because we have covered a lot of it and will still be learning the rest in the future.

So you see There are many things I have yet to learn and discover but I am also learning a lot right now.

Go Clean Your Room Right Now!

Parents! although sometimes they may be strict they are there for you all of the way.

I tink the qualities for a good parent are one who sets rules like curfews, be there when there is drama going on, help you when you are struggling to handle sports and school work, some money to have when you are going out with your friends and have food in your house. There are also things they need to help you do to get ready to become an adult.

I think the most important thing a parent can do for a teenager is be there for them when they go through their drama and help keep them into place. By that I mean I know it sucks to have rules but if we didn’t then we would jst get ourselves into trouble and I think no one wants to get caught drinking or anything. They could also start to make them do chores and their own laundry so that they know how to do it when they move out and also know how o cook.

These things will help you get through your university years and will help you get trough your tough teenage years too.

That Seems To Amaze Me!

In school we are doing this big project called TED Talks. It is when we pica global issue and look at t closely. Then we think of ways to help solve it. I have picked Child Agriculture and learned so much about it then I knew before. Some interesting facts that  I found out were:

. 70% of 132 million child laborers work in Agriculture

. They make up to 5 dollars a day

. They cannot go to school and get an education

. They pick such foods as cocoa beans, cotton, cotton seed, chilies, cantaloupe, bananas, and other fruits and veggies

. Kids ages 4-15 work

. Many kids dies from being cut by sharp tools or being crushed by heavy machinery.

I found this topic to be very interesting because I didn’t know about any of this and about how hard their lives are since the consist of working all day in the hot sun then going home too poor shacks and not getting much food. I hope you know what I now now about how hard life can be for some people.

Where Can I Find That?

When your doing a research project in school there are many things to know. The first thing is resources.

Some good resources that you can go on when you are researching are Google, Wikipedia, technorati, Ask and people who you can contact. When you find your information you must look at the name and who wrote it because if it is some random guy chances are that the information wont be completely true. Always go on sites that are well known and contact people who were found on good trustful websites!

What Are You?

Have you ever really looked at yourself and wondered about your culture? I know I have been lately. For some people they know what culture they are from and have some everyday or special traditions.  Cultures include things like music, food, traditions, language and more. People from Canada probably have a lot of different cultures because most peoples families have relatives who have immigrated to this country. I think culture is something that can’t be boxed because you usually will always know about your culture and have everything it has.

If I had to save something from my culture it would probably be the food because I am Ukrainianand the food is good and includes foods like perogies and cabbage rolls. I also think I would box some of the art work from my culture because there are wooden eggs that are designed very cool and different. Something that I also like about my culture is that we get to celebrate Ukrainian Christmas. It is one January 6 and 7. We usually have a big supper and we eat lots of Ukrainian foods. There are also more things that I do as a part of my culture.

The whole world is made up of different kinds of cultures which are all unique in their own ways.

A little Thing Called Success

Have you ever looked back at your life and realized how much success you had or have? There are many things that can make success whether they are winning tournaments or making your dreams come true.  I think that success is mostly just being happy and loving life. I think as a kid success is winning tournaments, having good grades, having good friends and good parents.

As an adult there are more things to make define success since you have experienced more and have moved further in life. It is having a good job that pays well and that you also like, having good quality shelter to live in, a healthy family and all of your memories of your childhood success. In more simpler form success is accomplishing your dreams and goals. It is something everyone should have and is also something that helps build up a person and makes them feel good.

I think that uncle is successful because he has a good job that he likes that allows him to travel around the continent. He also has three kids and a good wife. He has a nice house in a good city also.

I think everyone should live a successful  life and be happy.
