This summer will be my first 'independent' summer since I was in grade 9 (if you could call grade 9 independent). I am overwhelmingly excited. I have the privilege of being able to move back in with my parents, in a beautiful city that comes alive with sunshine and opportunities during the months of May to August. I get to pursue a job that will hopefully challenge my skills and advance me along my education. I get to pursue things that I am passionate about like dance during my free time. I've already found the best dance studio ever to train at during the summer and I am so excited.

It's learning time, kids!
Did you know...
Air pollution is a global problem. Although Greenland has about half the population of Nanaimo atmospheric pollution is still found there. (Due to air currents.)
We DO have a problem.
80-90% of energy in developed countries comes from fossil fuels. Due to rising populations and depleting resources, it is likely that these resources WILL be used up within the next 50 years UNLESS we do something about it. I've heard from so many people, "I'm a Christian. I have a passion for Jesus, I'm not willing to have a passion for anything else including environmental issues." I don't get that. If you have a passion for Jesus you should have a passion for His people. If you have a passion for His people you should be doing your best to live a lifestyle so that His people will have a future on this planet. If you aren't Christian and you don't care about other people, think about your kids and your grandkids. Do you really want to leave them with the problem of fixing the enormous problem that we (and past generations) have created? Think about it.
