My road map was something I especially worked hard on. My road map had 10 great and not so great things on it. Each stop meant something but there were a lot more stops that should have been added. The stops were usually a break from reality. The purpose of my road map is to remind me of my mental health. A mental illness is a change in someone’s behavior, thinking or feelings. Mental illness can affect the dignity of the human person. Which means everyone’s life is sacred and created in the image of god; therefore each life has a tremendous worth and value. I was an angry child when I was younger. I was upset from a lot of things like work, school, and home, but later on, I found my ways of coping with its situation like riding a bike. I learned to ride a bike when I was six. Riding a bike helps me release stress. The best moment in my life was when I moved to Canada. I was so happy to move to Canada because I had the opportunity to have a better life, meet new friends and learn English. When I was nine, I started to play soccer. It became one of my favorite ways to cope with difficult situations. One of the worst moments would be when my family and I moved out of Canada to England. It was so bad that I lost all my friends I made. Once I …show more content…
I was so happy because I worked very hard to get money. Money is power and everyone loves money. The most unforgettable moment of my life was going to Saint Michael high school. I was late for my first class, which was science. I was lost on the first day I went. I still remember when my family and I bought our first house. My family and I lived in small apartments most of our lives. The weirdest moment in my life was when my dad and I had an adult conversation. It was probably the longest hour of my life. Well, I am still waiting for the happiest moment of my life, which is when I graduate. I want to graduate so I can have more
During middle school, I had to mature very quickly. My parents got divorced when I was 12 years old. When they first told me the news, I was devastated. I had always thought my parents would be together forever. I started crying because I didn’t know what else to do. My other siblings were too young to understand what was happening. While they were working things out, my parents would leave us home alone. I realized I had to step it up, and take care of my siblings. This moment was very important in my life because it made me grow up at a very young
Canada has an extremley large geography which plays a tremendous role on many factors that affect Canadians. These factors both help and hinder Canada economically, socially and politically. The geography of Canada has also caused regions to form. For the most part, these regions exist due to physical that are present in Canada's landscape. Canada's geography has also had a large impact on the influences that affect settlers. Canada's relatively low popuation in comparison to the large land mass make Canada a place where people who desire to settle in high population, urban areas or large, isolated, and low-trafficked areas. The high population of people near the Canadian-American border is also a unique feature of Canada, due to the
Canada, is well known for being immigration friendly over the course of history and it is an ideology that Canadians value. Immigration offers an opportunity for Canadians to seal in crevasses within the Canadian economy and stabilizes it from leaks which causes inflations and recessions. However, as opportunity presents itself, trade-offs are likely to follow. Today, Canadians are facing challenges regarding unemployment rates as well as increases in the cost of living. According to Collacott Martin, a senior at Fraser Institute who represented Canada in the department of external affairs, the housing prices are rising due to an increase in population among large cities in Canada. Collacott, predicted that newcomers of Canada cost between
Today, Canada is the second best country in the world according to the Washington Post. But what’s so appealing about Canada? Canada has their own government, they promote gender equality and have equal right towards every race. But Canada was not always the great country that it is today. Canadians worked hard to accomplish independence and recognition. Historical events that helped shape the way Canada it is today are, the battle of Vimy Ridge, the Balfour Report and Statute of Westminster, the Persons Case, the formation of NATO, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. These are the events that helped Canada grow as a nation to become a peaceful, independent, and a just country.
Canada is among the best places you can opt for if you want to live in another location. Certainly, you will enjoy a better life living in such place. As opposed to other countries on the Better Life Index, it ranks above housing, income and wealth, health status, environmental quality, and jobs and earnings. It is actually for this reason that many individuals today are planning on migrating to such country.
Growing up in a little city in the southern part of Nigeria filled with mosquitoes and irregular supply of electricity is an experience that has deeply shaped me. I was the last child from a family of eight, more like ten because of my two older cousins that lived with us for many years. In Nigeria, it is not uncommon to care for relatives even with a low income. My parents, Helen and Matthew, were hardworking and determined people. My dad ran a small sawmill business and my mom hawked produce to put food on our table. Unlike Canada, there is no welfare system put in place to help poor families. This lack of aid means that people like my parents were not well supported by the government, but by each other. One of the most beautiful things in
Even though Nova Scotia is very resplendent, We shouldn’t move there because we don’t know where we’re going to live, find a job, or where I will go to school. What’s the purport of dropping everything here and moving to Nova Scotia all of the sudden? Failing to plan is planning to fail. If you don’t have a plan then you’re setting yourself up for failure. You need to consider where I will get the education I need, how you will pay for all of the expenses, and where we will stay when we get to Nova Scotia.
Immigrating to Canada six years ago has given me many opportunities. Being able to adapt to a new country, culture and learning a new language takes time and courage and a positive attitude. I have struggled learning to speak and write English, but despite that, I have demonstrated confidence in my actions and I have continued to make progress. Learning to cooperate with everyone with empathy has helped me gain self-reliance, confidence, and courage to help everyone regardless of their race, gender or beliefs. The word volunteer was not in my vocabulary until I moved to Canada, to which I am so grateful to have learned.
Canada means to me that we as people have freedom. We have peace in this world thanks to Canada and Canada’s armed forces. Being Canadian means a lot to people in Canada because they live and grow up in Canada. Thanks to Canada’s good soil for farmers to farm their crops so that the people whom live in the city can eat bread’s and meat’s and their vegetables, thanks to Canada’s farmers they also can drink milk and cook with milk too. Thanks to Canada’s trees people can build houses and shelters so that they can live in.
It was a regular Sunday morning, precisely at 8:00, I was walking my dog Sham. He may look cute but he will snap and bark at any stranger (but that is completely irrelevant). Anyway, all of a sudden the authorities came and evicted everyone out of their homes! I caught up with my parents and they acknowledged that we had to move to Canada because of the virus.
Out of the 19 years I have been blessed to be on this earth, I can honestly say that my most rewarding moment was the day graduated Mansfield Timberview High School. Hearing my family cheer me on, getting my diploma and shaking hands with the board of administration, and beating our class statistics, is what this day a very memorable day.
Right now, I feel as if I have learned a great deal from the obstacles I had faced, and I have matured more and more by the lessons I have gained from them. Having found which path I am to take in my future life, I am perfectly content with my situation in life at this instance, and nothing could make me happier.
Over the course of my life I have had many life experiences which have made me who I am today. When I was in my middle childhood, most of my life revolved around playing and having fun. I did not have to put forth effort in hardly any area of my life or work hard in order to achieve specific goals. As time went on however, my own life experiences began to have an effect on me, and shape the person I am today. My life started to change the most during middle childhood when I was around the age of seven years old. At this point in my life, I had to adjust to several big changes.
Experiences form “Powerful and important memories that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world” (Gilovich 2). Happiness can come and go but in that moment of joy, you feel infinite and amazing which is why memories and experiences are so important, because we look back at them and smile at ourselves wishing we could go back in time to that specific moment, That is the great thing about happiness, you can eventually make new memories and have new experiences that make you happy or even happier in the near future.
Happiness can be describe in many ways. For some they would say spending time with their loved ones, having a good relationship, having a good job, being able to live in luxury, being able to buy all their needs, having a good meal, being healthy, having enough money being free from debts and stress. These are only some of the reasons
