September 15, 2010 ... Favouritism???

Hey World of whom actually reads this thing that I post
Today I want to post about something that has been angering me for a while now. Over the last couple of years attending CHS I have come to realize the favouritism in the way that the school represents the sports. What I mean (to anyone reading this from CHS) is that the school puts more emphasis on sports such as Football, and Volleyball, and Basketball (of which I am involved in one of these sports so I can say that it has effected me) and they seem to forget that the school has both girl and guy soccer teams, a track team, and badminton. I have become angry with having the school take school off so that we can go and cheer on our football team, but a soccer team has trouble getting a single student to come out to a game. What is worst is when you don't go to a football game you are accused of "not having school spirit" but when was the last time a football player came to a soccer game, or track meet?
I think it is not only completely crazy for people to say that some sports are more important than others, it makes the players hate the other teams because they are expected to take notice of them and not have any notice to themselves.
If anyone who is on the CHS SLC reads this blog, or any teacher reads it. I give you a challenge to bring this issue up, why should a football team get a pep rally where we all go out and cheer them on in school time, when the girls soccer team literally had 3 students from CHS come out and watch their game? I think it is time for the school to become equal and to give just as much attention to one sport as to the other.

September 8, 2010 ... Its been a while

So i have been meaning to write a new one of these for a while but every night when i think to do it I end of just sitting and watching YouTube videos, (I admit I also have an addiction to those). But this morning while I wait for the time to pass and to go to school, I have decided would be a perfect time to write one. I think this blog will be more about some of the things of humanity that I have noticed lately.
The first thing that I have been noticing is that even in a country where everyone is suppose to have equal rights, I'm speaking of Canada, there is a lot of racism here. Not just racism but prejudices as well, I hear the comment "oh, he can jump because he is black" or "I can't do that, I'm not black." while I suppose comments like this probably doesn't offend most people I find it to be very immature and rude of people. If someone thinks that the only way for them to do something is to be a different skin colour, they are mistaken.
I mentioned racism as part of it. I have heard people make accusations of people because of their skin colour, I'm not perfect and will admit that I have done this before, but I have learned not to over the last years, but racism and prejudices are still very apart of this country, of the town of Caronport that I live in, and the world as a whole. If we could just all start to realize that what makes a person who they are is not dependent on the colour of their skin but what is inside of them, I think the world could come to love each other.
So I have a challenge for anyone who reads this blog, next time you hear a racist or prejudice comment, stand up and say, "hey look, the colour of your skin doesn't give you special athletic powers, or instantly make you a shady untrustworthy person. I think you guys need to think of the person not the skin colour." And together lets see if we can change the world.
