The North American Cultural Concepts We Should Improve
I consider Canada my home, however, I have spent significant amounts of time studying, working and living in other countries. My ‘foreign stints’ include: Germany for part of my undergrad degree, teaching at University in Seoul, Korea, and working in Abu Dhabi and Milan. While I’ve visited many other countries as well, the above are what I consider deeper, cultural experiences during which I made local friendships and became part of that country’s mainstream life.

Deep wrinkles etched his face like cracks in dried earth, and his eyes—clouded with exhaustion—reflected decades of unspoken sorrow.

Every second that passes is a building block of the future. Every choice we make, no matter how small, contributes to the life we will live tomorrow. The future starts now, because now is the only moment where we have true power.
