What Annoys Me

          The most annoying thing to me is when you're walking down the hall/sidewalk, and you come up to another person walking towards you. Then you do that little shuffle thing because they are walking on the wrong side of the road. In a car in Ontario everyone knows to pass left to left, and it's the same in horseback riding. Passing left to left is a way to keep everyone organized and travelling in the flow of traffic, and it's more efficient. I find this annoying because lets say for example you're on the urge of being late for class, and if a whole group of people take over the entire hall you'll have no chance of being on time. This can lead to serious consequences depending on the teacher. I believe everyone would benefit from a rule of passing left to left. Ultimately this annoying daily occurrence is totally unavoidable if everyone was to abide by the rule.

My Defining Moment

My Defining Moment

          It had been a long day at school and I was sitting on the couch at home watching tv. Then all of a sudden my dad turned the tv off. He spoke is a stern voice 'we need to talk'. As I walked into the other room my mind was racing. Was I in trouble? Had I done something wrong? And that's when it happened, my defining moment. The day I got my very own  horse.

          My horse's name is Dillon and I've had him for almost four years now. I believe this is my defining moment because I've become so much more responsible. I learned to read subtle cues such as health related and feeling related like happy, sad or nervous. I've also learned how to cope in different situations especially under stress. Which is beneficial during a test at school or a cross country race. Ultimately my defining moment was the day I could call Dillon my own.
