My birthday…

March 23, 2007

Hi all.

Well, my birthday is tomorrow. I am going to be 16 tomorrow. A lot of people will come to my birthday party… including one friend from school, my interpreter, and maybe my family.

I hope that everything goes by well tomorrow. I will be participating in Shutdown Day tomorrow…

Thanks for reading

Volunteer Report: Tues. March 20, 2007

March 20, 2007

Hi all.

With this post, I am now creating a new (extremely long) eries of posts called Volunteer Report, which will detail my volunteering experiences at the Canadian Hearing Society.

Tuesday, March 20, 2007

When I came in, I had a long meeting with Employment Services of the CHS office I work at. I called them up on Friday regarding employment opportunities, and they were willing to meet me at 3:30 today. I answered a lot of questions… The end result is that they will help me look for a job, and will dial up the government regarding my job search…

Apart from the meeting, not much really happened, except that the office program assistant gave me a list of things to do for next week at the CHS office. I have to research on the Internet and collect contact data from web sites for audiologists, and so on in various areas.

In all, I think that today so far has been great. I thanked the CHS by phone.

Thank you for reading.

Mixed feelings

March 20, 2007

Hi all.

Well, I’m excited because I’m starting volunteering today at the CHS…

… but on the other side of the coin, I’m upset and dismayed by what happened yesterday. At lunch, two friends tried to force me to use a sexually inappropriate symbol in front of my other friend. I guess I made a bad choice of friends, and probably will have to talk to these two bad friends soon enough (NOT avoid them). I think I will tell them about the “bad” peer pressure, why I don’t succumb to it as often as the two of them do, and that I think that they will get addicted to drugs (any type of drug) at this rate (seriously!). Oh well, it will all tide over soon enough.
