To This Day Project

I know, I know; by now, your teachers, friends or maybe even a stranger has probably talked to you about this video. Shane Koyczan has touched millions with his ‘To This Day project and has helped victims of bullying get back up. I‘ve shared this video with many of my friends and it’s been powerful every time, but, this week, I shared it with one of my private, extra-curricular teachers and the reaction was different from the times when I was contemplating about To This Day with my friends (yes, we think deeply together, don’t ask). My teacher is actually more of a friend to me than he is an educational leader (in a good way), and he seldom gets serious about anything except for topics that involve Hitler or focusing on homework, but he surprised me with his reaction; he was completely silent. We discussed the video later, and I discovered how bullying affects everyone, even that tough teacher you have or your strict parents. Ending on a happier note, if you find this video inspiring or interesting, share it! Help spread awareness of bullying, and, for more of Shane Koyczan’s work, visit http://www.shanekoyczan.com/

Who am I? It's quite a difficult question to answer in a box, but here it is: all of my summary skills packed into 100 some words. I am a badminton playing otaku who enjoys time avidly reading and sketching. As for taste, I love to read George Orwell novels and eat green tea flavoured everything (yup, probably even green tea ketchup if you were wondering). I OBVIOUSLY hate writing (dripping with the strongest sarcasm there is) and I am impotent when it comes to chocolate.
