Un entitled

Canadians care
about other lives, not
just their own! They
appreciate the value
of ordinary lives and
this makes them care
for others and uphold
their right to life.
Where do you think you
will be in five years?
What do you hope to be
doing then?
In the middle of my Canadian Dream.

FRED
Hopefully somewhere where I never learn to
take anything for granted. Still marvelling at
the ‘ordinary miracles’ (Erica Jong’s phrase)
that come my way and trying harder to inspire
others.
EDEN
Writing, activism, lobbying to protect human
rights. I hope to contribute as much as possible
and to rid the world of dogmatic ideologies
and oppression. One day I’d like to be Canada’s
Minister of Science and Innovation.
RAIHAN

with my kids in a new apartment.
