I have to write an essay for my Current Events class about a major problem facing the USA (Which I've been in for a month) but I have yet to learn anything besides where Saskatchewan is. Any ideas for an easy topic? Thanks! :)
Answer
Saskatchewan ir related to the USA in what way ?
A gun brought to an elementary school near Seattle in a third-grade boy's backpack discharged Wednesday, apparently by accident, and critically wounded an 8-year-old girl, police said. (Feb. 23)
The NRA (National Rifle Association) has so much money and political clout that we cannot not keep cheap hands guns out of our cities and schools. guns are a major cost to our healthcare systems; cause police deaths and as you can see KIDS die almost everyday from guns (Columbine, Amish Schools House) and on and on. Forget the lunch pail for your kids give then flak jackets for school.

For those who have backpacked in Europe?
The Doctor
I'm conducting a little research for a marketing proposal (school project) and I was interested in the following:
What age were you when you took your trip?
How long did it last for?
What were you most interested in seeing and doing?
- historical sites?
- nitelife? bars, clubs, etc.
- nature? hiking, biking
- other kinds of adventure?
How would you generally describe your personality?
College graduate?
Thanks in advance!
Answer
I have done it when I was 23 for one month, 25 for one month, at 27 ireland 3 weeks, at 37 Ireland 3 weeks, 42 a European 'tour' again, at 43 and 45 a cycling holiday in the Netherlands and England also going from place to place.
In between I have backpacked in the USA/Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Australia as well as several shorter holidays which had some backpacking characteristics in Europe mostly in one country at a time as well as a few hiking holidays in England and Wales.
I like a combination of different kind of activities, staying in cities but also in villages, seeing historical and cultural things, go out into nature to just enjoy it but I often also done active parts like rafting, hiking or horse riding. The only 'activities' on your list I am not interested in is 'nightlife' beyond the odd visit to a pub.
I never had the need for more adventure, whatever you mean by that.
I used to be a shy kid but always willing to talk with people, I have grown into an adult who can hold herself in crowds and can face a group to hold a talk, and backpacking has helped me in that change.
The most notable change for myself is the level of my English. When I left school I could hardly communicate and that at a 'survival level' that is very poor grammar and pronunciation. Now I am fluent to the level of being about bilingual. Having to talk English (my only foreign language) for at least a month straight on all my backpacking holidays has helped a lot in that, as well as talking with people I would not have met if I had not started backpacking when I did.
My education level is just below college level, we do not have college here.
In case you had not noticed it yet, I am Dutch, so European and female.
