Essence of Christmas


     Christmas is the most awaited season of the year. Gifts, foods, colorful lights on the streets, lanterns, Christmas trees and many other. Everyone's seems to be excited about the coming of Christmas Eve. But do we really know the true essence of Christmas?

     Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long      Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given - -when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes.Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving. And may we all have this spirit throughout the year for our family, friends, and those who are in need.

     From Home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other. The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree that I would want is the the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities


     They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. Equality? We all deserve to be equal, equally treated, equally respected from race, sex, religion, age and other petty differences should not matter.
     We all deserve respect no matter where we came from whether you're an Asian, European or American. Black or white, tall or short we all that matters. Men and Women are people. Sex should not matter, therefore, they should be treated with respect. Many men and women are harassed every day by the opposite sex. People should realize that without the opposite sex, it would mean the end of the human race. So both men and women are just as important as the other. No religion is wrong. We are raised to believe on something. Discrimination, we should not judge others the way they look physically. Let yourself know them mentally. It is not their fault, If they we're born differently.
     People are people, discrimination is discrimination, and what's wrong is wrong. No one is any better than anyone else. I hope that someday people will stop trying to get back at one another. Until this happens there will never be peace.

Climate Change



     When I hear the words ‘Climate Change’ there are three main question that comes up to my mind. Who are the one’s responsible for this? What will happen to Earth if Climate Change is happening? And are there anyone responding to Climate Change?

     Cause? Humans are largely responsible for recent climate change. Over the past century, human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The majority of greenhouse gases come from burning fossil fuels to produce energy, although deforestation, industrial processes, and some agricultural practices also emit gases into the atmosphere.

     Effects? Climate change affects everyone. Our Global Temperature, sea level, precipitation. Storms and flooding that will affect many lives and even home displacement. The impact on human health, like heat and air pollutants that will lead to respiratory diseases. Our food supply will also be affected, until we all suffer from these problems. Our lives are connected to the climate.

     We should take an action. Start on ourselves, on our family, friends, even on the streets. It is never too late for a change. Just do it today! And have a better life from time to time and for more generations to come.
