Scary stuff.

Last week I had a pretty scary experience. Well you see I have asthma and I have had it now for two or three years but it never really affected me and if it did it only affected me when I was doing sports but not last week. Last week I had my first asthma attack and as you can guess form the title I was pretty scared. It happened after training when I was in school at a meeting about the school trip to Poland and things just slowly started to get bad with my breathing and to be honest if it wasn’t for my dad and my friends and the two teachers that wanted until I felt well enough to leave the school I would have been lost. So thanks to everybody who was there with me last week. Anyway I managed to make it home but things took another turn for the worse and an ambulance to be called and no this was not my first time in an ambulance I was in one a few years ago when I fell down a man hole at an athletics competition and had to go to hospital but back to the topic. So yeah I’m not goi

In the wrong!

Ok so here's the deal...... the other week I was searching on the on internet looking for different things to blog about and different blogs that would be interesting to read. I did fine one and I have to say I really do like this one, its fun, informative and you can really relate to it if you are a teenager. The post that I had here in the first place was from this blog . Yeah I took this post form that blog and to be honest I have now realised that I went about things all the wrong way and I wish I had never taken the post from the blog in the first place. I am writing this post to try and fix my wrong doing of taking a post from someone else blog and putting it up on my blog and not giving them enough credit. I should not have done that and for that I am very sorry. Weather I was to give them credit or not I should not have taken someone else blog post and passed it off as mine! So I apologize greatly to the writer of High School Humor Blog  and I would like to say that I

Blog Action Day.

Last year in school I took part in blog action day and this year I am doing it again. I signed up on Tuesday and found out that I would have to write a blog post about food. Last year the blog post that we had to write was about water. So I didn't really know what to write about food so this post is going to be really bad and stupid. I  decided that I would write the post on my favorite food. My favourite food has to be chicken. I don’t really eat that much meat but I eat a lot of chicken. In my house my dad gets fed up of buying chicken and my brother thinks that I eat chicken too much. But now there are lots of different things that you can do with chicken so I don’t really understand how you could get fed up with eating chicken. You can do some many different things with chicken that the possibilities are endless. So I dont see how somebody could get fed up with eating chicken all the time. Yeah so I didn't really know what to write about food so I wrote about chicken,

Having a bit of fun at scouts :)

Scouts. :)

Image
Every Monday night I go to scouts for about an hour and a half. Yeah you’re wondering why I might be telling you this..... Well I do have a reason. I have been involved in scouts for a number of years helping out and last year I decided to join the venture scouts. Since then I have become a lot more involved in the beaver scouts. I have helped out for a while but I never really did much but no with the help of Kellie and Robbie when my dad (he is meant to be the section leader.) feels like pitching in I act as a leader. When I am old enough I plan to become a leader but I have to be 18 for that so another little while to go but I will get there eventually.  So the main reason I am writing this post is to show how important it is to get involved in the community. I love going to scouts every Monday.... I get to have fun and the beavers get to have fun and the best part is I can act like an idiot and nobody will care! We do badge work, play games, sing songs well that’s a bit more

The sound of St. Wolstans.

This year St Wolstans is performing a musical “the sound of music.” I called this post the sound of St Wolstan’s because Louise came up with the great title for a  blog that we are  doing to help promote the show. This is going to be a pretty short post at the moment but I will have longer ones about it soon. I really dont know that much about it all i really know is that we are putting on a show! I am helping out with the promotion and the blogging :) I will have more information on it soon hopefully but for now here is a song from the sound of music :)

Workers rights.

Image
Last week I had  a talk for L.C.V.P. The talk was about trade unions, workers rights and working conditions. It was a really interesting talk and I learned a lot of new tings that were really shocking. We were shown videos about working conditions in countries like Asia and places like that. Children from the ages of five are made to work in factories where they are not allowed to talk, have breaks, use the bathrooms or drink clean water. They would work for 16 hours straight without breaks five to six days a week and would only make around 1 euro each week. I didn't realise how bad working conditions were in other countries and I was shocked when I saw the video  of young children working in a Nike factory. We were thought about other things to do with worker rights, trade unions, activism and other things but what I took most from the talk was the horrible and unsafe working conditions in other countries. This was one of the videos that we were shown highlighting the exploita
