Short Biography: I have a hard time with shutting up; if there is something to be said about an issue, I always have and will voice my opinion, though I am careful with my words. I’ve always been pro-life in every which way because there is always an alternative to something, which could potentially lead to death. I have been working with kids since I have been of age to do so, as a babysitter and camp counsellor. From this position I have come to strongly believe in children as they always have the opportunity to aspire to new heights. If politicians were to give the world to children for a day and let their vision change it, we’d all be a lot happier and less worried, as the agenda for eternity would be rainbows, picnics, and tag. It sounds dangerous, but let it happen. You’d be surprised at what children can do. As a student at University of Toronto, I thought that I wouldn’t have the time to participate in an organization working towards a better cause. Having worked with Five Minutes To Midnight now made me realize that everyone should make the effort to do something small to make our living space a better place.
