The 2010 Winter Olympics. Yes, the Olympics are over and maybe you are like me wanting more of it to watch on TV. How do you feel about Canada having hosted the Olympics? Has this changed the way you feel about sports? Has this changed the way you feel about living in Canada? Are the Olympics a good thing? Was it justifiable to have spent so much money on this event when the world has so many other issues that require our attention? What was your favourite Olympic moment? There is so much to think about, maybe you will offer your thoughts on this subject?
Good Deeds
I read an article this morning in which the author wrote about her attempt to do one good deed each day for fifty days.

Do one good thing each day. Do something not for yourself, but for someone else. Keep track in your blog or some other way. One deed at a time we can change the world. Here are some links to others who have gone through this journey or maybe are still walking that path:
I'm sure you can find others that will help to inspire you. I am hoping that all of you will take me up on this challenge. This could be a life changing moment.
What comes next, after high school? As I am getting ready to go to this year's Career Conference 
in May, I have been thinking and talking with others about the world beyond high school. Do we, as a society, have certain preconceptions about where students should go and what they should do after high school? Do you know what you will be doing when you finish high school? What is the goal of school and education within our society? When I was in grade 7, it was the expectation that I would attend a university upon finishing high school. Is that the only option? What do you think?
