WIC- How to make the Grade 12's more involved?
The WIC was a very enjoyable experience and I was able to take a lot from the presentations as I go on to finish High School and move on to the University Level. In terms of making the conference better for future Grade 12 students I would suggest making the conference not only mandatory but also making it worth a fraction of their grade for the year. Those not in attendance should have to do an equivalent assignment that will be worth the same as though they were in attendance. I personally was rather offended that although I did attend the conference I had to in addition to that, write two framing the issue papers and I'll probably only be marked on those papers rather then my attendance. Those who did not attend got to take the day off to work on other things or begin a three day weekend of relaxing. I would have greatly benefited from having an extra day added to my weekend. Also, if their is a formal attendance made and students that are marked absent are phoned home as if it were a class setting that would have made more parents involved which would have forced more students there. Unfortunately, most students will need an incentive to go or else no one will go at all.

on life
Life is a series of events that each person experiences. That is what makes us different from what we call animals. Human, being, man each of which represents life. Animals may be classified as female or male but are never classified as of soul. What is debated is that do humans even have souls, what is a soul and do animals also have a soul that is not represented in the human mind. I would like to begin with the idea that is a soul. Let us picture it as a cup.
A cup is cylindrical, has a smooth surface and generally will not have cricks and cracks. When you fill it with screws you will see that the cup can never be one-hundred percent full. But, if you fill it with water, you will see that it is completely one-hundred percent full. So as the body to the soul is full. We can feel an array of feelings held separate to touch. These can include anger, happiness, sorrow, depression and arguably love. When we experience these emotions all of a sudden we are full; we can feel them on every inch of our body. That is the soul’s reaction to a series of events; a human experience. The idea that we experience so much only through one linear idea cannot be found in anything that is not of being.
