1. If you could travel to any third world country, where would you go and why? Would you want to make a difference to their lives, or just visit there?

Kill me if you want... I have no desire to visit any other country except for going back to Canada, never mind a 3rd world country. I dont know their laws. I dont know their language. I dont have anything to "see" I dont want any diseases and I sure as hell dont want to take a zillian shots to go somewhere.

America has enough places for me to visit and we have our own issues to deal with. Did you know that here, in America, we have our own hunger issues? we, here in America, have kids living on the streets? We have people fighting for the all mighty... Nike Shoe? How about if I help fix up America first? When America is perfect, than I will help other countries. When I have visited all that I want to visit in America, than I will visit other countries.

2. What is your highest level of education achieved? Are you proud of yourself? Would you go back and further it? What would you do different, what would you keep the same?

I earned a CAGS degree ( certificate of advance graduate studies) in mental health counseling.
Am I proud of myself? I guess so? I'm not good about being "proud" of myself when it comes to school.
I would go back in a heart beat if I had the money. I would love to earn my PSYD or maybe a EDD. Not sure which yet.
In retrospect, I would go for socialwork degrees. It takes a lot less education and clinicle supervision hours as a social worker to do the same work as a mental health counselor.

85. having fun, living it up, high school days, what a rush
04/05/2005

He was a strong young man, standing 6 feet 2
popular with the ladies, blond hair and eyes of blue
having fun, living it up
high school days, what a rush

He was the all American star
was the captain of his football team, they would go far
was a leader with actions, not by words
it was not the name but rather the symbol of the bird
on his helmet and chest
top colleges throwing scholarships his way
he just looks at them and says, yay

hanging with the boys on Friday night
a few bud lights
nothing that would get him in trouble
shooting pool, crashing parties, making out with a chick
going to karaoke, you should hear him on the mic
having fun, just living it up
high school days, what a rush

senior week is here
inside, he was holding back his tears
Monday, amusement park
"look at me! no hands!"
Tuesday, water park
"the ladies were out to kill in their two piece suits"
Wednesday, barbecue and playing sports
"principal almost burnt down the field" "hey, that chick can play"
Thursday, senior awards with a Chinese buffet
"I almost lost it" "hmm can I have thirds?"
Friday, senior video, senior year books
"haha I remember that!"
"good luck, best wishes, never forget Friday nights, friends for ever"
Friday night, senior prom
"does this crown come in one size fits all?”
"it's so hard, to say good by, to yesterday"
Saturday, graduation rehearsal
"I can't believe it is tomorrow"
"I know it is rehearsal, that's why I am practicing hitting this beach ball"
Sunday graduation
"as we all go off to battle the world on our own, some off to college, some off to serve our country, some to be mom's and dad's.
know that you will always have friends who you can call family to turn to and a school you can call home.
"woo hoo I graduated"
having fun, living it up
high school days, what a rush

now I stand, shoulder to shoulder
fighting a war, as a soldier
in the middle east, the heat is oppressing
dead bodies around, it is depressing
a uniform and gun
staring at the enemy, I am done
a "BANG!" a "BOOM!" a "BLAST!"
there goes my life, in a flash

having fun, living it up
high school days, what a rush
