Greetings all,
So this year has been a fast paced turn of events from going from my return to Canada, to finishing what looks to be the last year of my schooling period. I am set with only days left in my Bachelor of Education program left. It has fostered some great new friendships with some brilliant people form all walks and ages. I have met people who discovered new fossils, who played professional hockey to people like me and the love of traveling, it has been amazing to get to know these people, and well promote life long learning with all of us. That and we have to be only cohort in the program that goes out 2-3 times every week and doesn't get all antsy about things (well most of us).
It is insane to think that in just a few weeks I will be on my way to the real world, to finding a full time teaching position, to getting to the point which I have worked for; for so long it seems. I cannot fathom the changes that I will have yet to undergo to come into this reality and what it will mean for my life. however I am not wary of it, I embrace it and enjoy both the here and now and what I have to look forward to with it. It is something new with me, to embrace all things and take it as they come.
I think it's kind of appropriate that it's during the Olympics that I write this because of how these athletes compete, however I think the greatest source of inspiration has been the Micheal J Fox Video It's Our Game simply because of how the acts on the ice, knowing his sickness and his words about the game, like its hockey, a game that we all love and moves all Canadians young, old, stars, to everyone else and that it gives hope and limits no one no matter who they are. I know I don't really write how my mind sees it, but the few times I have have given me goose bumps.
Life is a series of never ending chapters of a choose your own adventure that blend together, and really its up to you to decide when you want to open the next, and when you want to close the last, so choose your adventure and be thoughtful of your actions but appreciate where they have you go.
Oh and one last thing. that letter worked, muhahaha
