My Opinion, Death and Life, the Good and the Bad

 

First of all, this is my opinion; if the idea bugs you then don't bother reading. Secondly, I can't believe that this is what I'm doing for my post, seriously, my second post and I choose DEATH as my topic. Who cares, I'm doing it. Death obviously is very bad, but it also does some good, I will explain.

The Second Door on the Right

I walked up to the main doors that led into the large front entrance way, since I was holding a lot of stuff, I used my whole body in an attempt to push the door open. It didn't open so I quickly pushed it again, it still refused to open. I leaned back fast and threw my weight against the door repeatedly. I sensed people standing behind me, waiting for me to open the door but I didn't turn around. At this point, I was pretty frustrated. I mumbled to myself, “Gees, I can't even open doors!”. I took a deep breath and a step backwards and then I moved everything I was holding into one hand and pushed on the door as hard as I could. It opened! I sighed with relief and walked forward into the entrance way, pushing the door open wide. Suddenly, I heard someone say something behind me, “You know, I think those were some pretty good door opening skills.” I giggled and turned my head around as they said “Yeah, most people would have just pushed the door once but you went for an eight time approach.” I looked at them and saw a stupid smirk on their face, I smiled at them and then walked out the door. Sometimes I'm so ridiculous, it's even funny to me.

Hello people, this week I decided to see what a few of the teachers think about the students. In a future with such diverse issues as climate change, cyber terrorism and vaccine resistant super diseases. Do they think we can handle ourselves?

In honor of the brave men and women who gave their lives to protect Canada, staff and students alike at the Ridge wore poppies to commemorate their actions. Not just people at our school, but people all around Canada wear poppies to represent our pride in our country and the gratitude we feel towards the people who made it so.
