Something that I've gotten involved in last christmas, and will continue to be involved in this holidat season is Operation Christmas Child. They have a shipping centre right here in KW, and you can volunteer directly for them sorting and screening the boxes, not to mention bringing your own boxes full of presents to send! Its only 7$/box to ship it plus the cost of whatever you put in, and its a really personal way of giving to a charity all the while knowing that everythign you've given is going straight to the kids! Let me know if you want to get involved - it's a great thing to do as a group of friends!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13722274628276975281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770162552898207723.post-31696016765080930502013-10-23T11:41:24.575-07:002013-10-23T11:41:24.575-07:00That's so cool - I didn't know you also wa...That's so cool - I didn't know you also wanted to pursue a career in medicine! I'd like to go to McMaster for Med school, but as far as my undergrad? I don't have a clue...It's down to University of Guelph, McMaster, Western and maybe Ottawa? Although the more university presentations I go to, the less decided I am..University of Waterloo and Laurier are also still in the running. I really don't know where I'm going, if that much wasn't obvious by now! Suggestions? Where do you want to go?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13722274628276975281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770162552898207723.post-73434238813758025022013-10-23T11:00:50.398-07:002013-10-23T11:00:50.398-07:00I don't think that's a cliche!

Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423776731518363981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770162552898207723.post-90344703852268106992013-10-23T11:00:14.864-07:002013-10-23T11:00:14.864-07:00This is really kind of you. I always remember see...This is really kind of you. I always remember seeing the advertisements on TV as well for sponsoring children and all that but just like you we could never afford it. In the future I do plan on sponsoring a child though. I think that pursuing the Medical Career is a great idea especially if you would be able to join DWB eventually. It's a hard goal but I wish you luck with it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735903163201849048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-770162552898207723.post-32625599105735124262013-10-22T07:16:25.734-07:002013-10-22T07:16:25.734-07:00Rachal, this is actually one of the sweetest thing...Rachal, this is actually one of the sweetest things ever!:') Maybe you've heard but we both want to pursue a career in medicine. I wan't to be a nurse practitioner mostly because I'm too dumb to get into medical school (harsh, but true), and I would never be able to make it as a doctor. So seeing that you are aiming so high for a career choice is awesome, I wish I could have what it takes to do what you're aspiring to do! So keep up the good work :) What University are you planning to go to?<br />Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990403261435320805noreply@blogger.com
