Yo gustaba dormir. Nosotros caminaba cada semana en la playa hasta yo fue dos anos. Mi hermano mayor jugaba con me cada dia , el fue muy divertido. Yo comia frecuentemente alimentos para bebés plátano. Lo fue me comida favorita cuando yo era un bebe. Yo lloraba por lo menos dos veces al día y fue un poco dificultoso. Yo caminaba cuando yo fue nueve mes y hablaba antes de yo fue uno anos. Mi amigo mejor fue un oso de felpa llamado rosa. Yo nunca tomaba la botella, yo preferia medios mas naturales. Mi madre dijo yo nunca arrastró cuando yo fue una bebe. Yo siempre me gustado estar con mi abuela y tia abuela. Yo nunca fui a la  guardería porque yo estado con mi abuela.

Did you know that by simply throwing a waste item out the window of your car that you are not only hurting the environment but also yourself, and future generations? Litter is a growing epidemic in our Bahamaland and it is not trivial. It affects our waters because it can harm wildlife and tarnish the beauty of our blue seas which can lead to it having a major impact on Tourism our number one industry. It also is a breeding ground for vermin which can lead to plague and disease among citizens and poisoning for animals who consume the waste.  This detrimental practice must be halted but first we must know what to do in order to thwart it.

For us to see a change we must be that change. We all know that the main component in making a difference is ourselves; we must be the catalyst in creating a new pattern for the world to grasp.  The example we set will be followed by the generations that are blooming so firstly we must care about our surroundings and dispose of litter in trash bins instead of our domain. Parents must stop subconsciously littering and educate themselves so that they may educate their children. They should also enforce rules in the home to provide incentive for adolescents to dispose of waste properly. In addition schools can also educate students on litter and its effects on the environment and human beings.

However we are not alone in this and an even bigger component in change is The Government who set laws to enforce them. I believe the Government should take a serious interest in Littering as it can be detrimental to this “clean , green and pristine” environment. They should come up with initiatives to encourage citizens to take pride in their surrounding such as Bahamas National Pride Association Best Kept Yard contests in addition to anti-litter campaigns and environmental projects. There should also be more severe repercussions for littering such as increased jail time in grave situations or imposed fines. In a like manner they can make provision for improved waste facilities as well as give surveillance to litter prone areas such as fast food restaurants. Furthermore Garbage can be given to farmers to be composted and used as fertilizers.

In conclusion, let’s team up to clean up!  The change begins with each and every one of us and with a change of attitude and dedication we can keep the Bahamas Clean, Green and Pristine, remember every litter bit hurts.

Dear Self ,

Something’s wrong with me, seriously wrong. I go from one extreme to another in a matter of seconds, from exuberance to utter despondence and depression.  I’m tired, tired of feeling like nothing , I’m tired of being washed in waves of depression and left to the cold unforgiving words of my mind. I’m sick of the fear of myself, the hatred of myself and my body. I’m sick of smiling when I’m dying inside. But what bothers me the most is how increasingly tired I get of existing sometimes, I want to live and I want to be happy but sometimes it seems utterly impossible. It makes me sick that I actually can fool myself into believing that if something happened to me today it wouldn’t affect tomorrow, people would be the same and it would be like I never was here.  I don’t know what to exactly call what I have, whether I’m depressed or bipolar or just sad but I wish it could stop.

I shouldn’t find comfort in a blade crossing my skin. I shouldn’t find relief in the flames of a match or the heat of a lighter. I shouldn’t mutilate my own body to make myself feel better. I shouldn’t shut the world out because I’m afraid of their judgment and beration. I shouldn’t care what people think of me or how they see me and it shouldn’t reduce me to tears and moments of self-pity and hatred. I shouldn’t care, but I do and that’s the root of the problem. The absolute quintessence of my demise and I am helpless.  

As Christians we are expected to love one another more or just as much as we love ourselves. We must realize that Alcoholics have a problem which has spiraled out of their control and we should do all that is in our power to support them and guide them through their time of trouble and strife. We must realize that alcoholics are not beneath us because an addiction to something harmful or sinful can affect any one of us. We are not better than any other person or above the afflictions and temptations of the world which is our temporary home.  None of us can save we are without sin or that we are perfect each and every day because that is a lie. Christians sin although they try not to because through sin many people have found redemption and gained a stronger faith and love for Jesus Christ our savior. Alcohol is just the certain catalyst that has led to the destruction of these people’s and has temporarily lead them off track such as lying , cheating , stealing and swearing has done others. Notice that I said temporarily because God looks upon us and grants us the strength to pull through our sins and turn away from it, this can be through a dream or him using his children to help and give aid to those who are struggling. Believers should understand   that we are expected to live at Early Church did, where there was no judgment or fear but co-operation and love. Everyone within that community wanted for nothing or struggled as we do now because they had neighbors who shared and cared for them and unfortunately you do not encounter that kind of compassion and high regard for human lives and emotions in this generation.

As a Christian if you have a family member or friend or have even met someone who is an alcoholic and is in need of help the first thing I believe you should do is talk to them to see their exact dependence on alcohol and the depth of their addiction. You can decipher the truth from fraudulent information by watching body language such as shaking, hesitating and other nervous movements that are linked to Alcoholism you can also tell by appearance. Also try to pinpoint, observe and unearth the problem that is driving the alcoholic to consume alcohol, maybe if that situation is removed or resolved it may make a big difference in the person’s struggle. The thing to remember is that most alcoholics are in denial of their addiction so half of the time most friends and families of Alcoholics are too late in noticing the destructive pattern of a beloved one before it advances to a deleterious action. I think you should let the alcoholic know that even though they are participating in a risky activity God still loves them and is willing to forgive them for all that they have done, you should also offer your support and prayers for the persons wellbeing and future sobriety.

If this fails you should stage an intervention with the alcoholics Parents, spouse or anyone who they love and hold in high esteem immediately.
