Hey everyone, I hope everyone is “all good.”
I decided to write a blog today which basically talks about what I have been doing this summer and where I have been busy; so here it goes.
Firstly, I cannot believe that one month of summer vacation is GONE. Like “poof” gone...I am pretty shocked because I can’t believe how time flies.
I don’t think I mentioned this earlier, but my cousins were over from India so we were “just chilling” you know ;) About two weeks of July along with one week from June with them went just like that...I mean it. We went everywhere we possibly could go in three weeks. Since I am from Canada, we pretty much toured around really cool places that many people want to see; however I was exhausted by the end of all of them because we were literally on our feet every day.
Along with having my cousins here, I was also busy with an extra course I took in Summer School. The course was American History and to be honest it’s similar to Canadian history ‘cept for the colonization of America in the beginning and also the fact that American history is based on an American perspectiveJ I took the course because I felt that it’s good to know about our neighbours in the South. Despite all the learning and having work to keep myself busy, I am being honest when I say that the course is over and I can finally enjoy my vacation.
Other than the course and spending time with my cousins, I have also been busy getting certified for lifeguarding as well as getting my driver’s license.
The lifeguarding license consists of many levels that are broken down and an individual needs to pass all of those levels to finally become a lifeguard. The levels are Bronze Medallion then Emergency First Aid then Bronze Cross then Standard First Aid and CPRC then finally NLS and AED. Each of the levels is an obvious prerequisite for the next level; therefore getting the license is a long process. Fortunately for me, all of these courses are being offered in the summer, so hopefully by September I can work as a lifeguard at a pool near my house.
Driver’s license... I mean who doesn’t want one? I turned 16 about four months ago, which is a legal age to drive in Canada; however during those four months I became so busy that I couldn’t get my license until now. With a couple more classes and training, I will be able to drive with either one of my parents sitting in the passenger seat by September, and honestly I am so excited.
Anyhoos, my blog’s one year anniversary is coming up! Like I said, time really does fly, and things change at a great speed; however sometimes when you try to catch up with time, you kind of get derailed. I would have to say that since August 8th of last year to now, I have lost alot; however I know that those losses have helped me mature and be stronger. Some things changed for the better, some for the worst, some important people left my life, and I met other people who have become important. All in all, everything weighs out right? Yes, it does. Although I miss so many things and people, I will say that I am looking forward to seeing myself as a better person, and hopefully I can get there.
Anyways people, I wish you all the very best summer, or whatever is left of it! Just remember, live to dream.
