How I can make a difference

I can make a difference by helping out in my community. For example: Volunteering in a Old Folks home, or at a Soup Kitchen. I can make a difference by getting my family and friends involved also. All these things I can do to make a difference. Also just doing things that should be done everyday, like hold an elevator open for someone or help an elderly person across the street.


On Wednesdays I will try my best to help out at the Soup Kitchen most likely the 3rd of November and so on. I am planning on getting my friends involved because that will make an even bigger difference.
For now these are all I can come up with. Though I would love to find out more ways to make the difference that people need.

Canadian Identity Test.

What makes me Canadian is my multi-culturalism. My nationality is from all
over the world, and being multi-cultural is very Candian. My "Canadian-ness" is shown by my friendliness, treating immigrants like a Canadian.
Anyone can be Canadian. Showing how proud we are of this country is a big part of being Canadian. Canada is made up of little pieces of different culture to make one great country, for example mosaic. The Canadian flag should make you feel proud of Canada and be confident about your country. Canada is not a perfect counrty but it is a great place to live. Another thing about being Canadian is saying "eh". Even though not all Canadians say it, a lot of the majority does. Canada is a very peacful country which is a great characteristic. Being respectful to all nationalities is just a Canadian thing to be. Canada does have racism in it, but being strong against it is alos a characteristic is being Canadian.
