My inspiration post (Week 3)

My inspiration post this week, isn't about something that happened in the Olympics, the news or even on T.V. This week, I decided to do my inspiration post on little things that happened throughout the week/weekend. Throughout the week, I've been getting rides to school because my auntie and grandmother have been going to a workshop. And throughout this week they've been taking me to timmies just because. And while we went there, it was always hectic, almost everyone there was always in a rush to get somewhere. Which is understandable because it was the morning. But what I noticed was the fact that even though everyone was in a rush, they still had the manners to say please and thank you. In fact, almost everyone there would say please and thank you for their coffee, bagel or whatever they ordered. And people even held the door for others, even if they had to get somewhere. Or even if they already had their hands full of coffee they would still hold the door open with their back or foot. I know it's not exactly a big deal, but I find it extremely inspiring because even though people had their own stuff to do or was in a hurry they still took that little moment out of their day to do something nice. And, that made my day and would inspire me to do something nice throughout that day. So, even though this weeks inspiration post wasn't about something big that happened in the news or was on T.V, I personally think it's just as inspiring as anything else.

Blog Reflection Post.

For my project, I chose to do Emotional Triggers, and I learned a lot this week on it. An emotional trigger is something that can make you remember a memory or flashback. It can take a person back to that very moment of their trauma. Triggers can happen at any moment of the day. They can affect you with any type of your senses such as sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. These emotional triggers could cause any type of symptom. These triggers could cause any type of emotion you could think of. Emotional triggers can make your emotional balance turn upside down within seconds. These emotions could affect you physically, mentally and spiritually. But, there is something that you can do about these emotional triggers. You can work through them if you choose too, and by working through them, you could better your life. So far I've learned plenty on emotional triggers but, I'm still researching on how you can work through these triggers and the brain science behind them. So, that's all for this week, I hope to find more information on my topic next week.

My inspiration post (Week 2)

What I found inspiring this week were the two Durfour-Lapointe sisters in the Olympics. The two sisters competed against one another in the freestyle skiers competition. After the competition they both had to wait for the results together. What I thought was inspiring was the fact that they had to compete  against each other but they didn't let it tear them a part as a family. Instead they wished each other luck and hoped for each other to win. I find that really amazing and extremely inspiring, it shows that family is more important than anything. So, that's why I picked the Durfour-Lapointe sisters as my inspiration post this week.

My inspiration post (Week 1)

For my inspiration post, I picked Canada's response to Russia's anti-LGBT law. It's pretty sad that in this century there are still countries out there that discriminate against LGBT communities. So, basically what the situation is, is that Russia doesn't allow gays to be themselves and kicked LGBT members out of the Olympics. Canada decided to respond to them, by posting a LGBT video about the Olympics. I picked this for my inspiration post because I think it's so great! Like this whole thing, just makes me more proud to be Canadian. The fact, that Canada actually sent a message and stood up for the LGBT community, says so much. It just inspires everyone out there, that's it's perfectly ok to be gay.
