Wednesday.

Wednesday; the half-way point.

To be honest, I'm really enjoying school so far- but that could very well change once tests, projects and homework begin to pile up.

Today, in socials we read the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and then discussed issues such as the time when a BC baby was in need of a blood transfusion, but the parents wouldn't allow it because was against their religion. We discussed our views on the situation; backed up by the Charter we have the freedom of religion, but everyone also has the right to life, so here's a dilemma. Myself, being a very non-religious person thinks it's ridiculous to even consider religion over life, but after some good discussion I was convinced that religion is a powerful thing for some people and even if it comes to life-changing decisions they will not go against their faith. I have come to realize that as crazy as it may sound to an outsider, you have to remember that this is how they have been brought up, and it is something that is we have to be open-minded and tolerant about.
