Wish I paid more attention in high school
Irnagine you could go
back in time and become
a teenager again, minus
the acne and the weird
stages of puberty of course.
I often hear the same
wishes from the majority of
individuals craving for a
leap back to the past.
"I just want to go back to
when there was no stress,"
or "I miss waking up and
not having anything to do."
We all know how fun it is
sprawling out across the bed
is while binge watching the
latest series on Netflix. But
as you enter into your 30s
and beyond, the ticking
clock of success approaches
faster and the odds of mak-
ing a sustainable and finan-
cial mark in the world
lessens.
Column
Shaun Gregory
So when the time machine
takes me through the portal
of life, instead of looking for
fun, girls and parties, I will
be educational bound
searching far and wide for
knowledge.
That was the problem with
me back then, I always
wanted to be popular, fre-
quently messed around in
school, and pretty much
rarely taking life serious.
Roughly 75 per cent of
my high school's popula-
tion had the same goals in
mind.
Having the latest Nike
shoes, owning a collection of
rap CI)s or having an assort-
ment of hats to match your
outfits and watching movies
is all that signified us as
youths.
The old saying is beat into
my head constantly and
plays over and over again, "I
wish that I knew then what
I know now:'
Well at least I'm only
32 -year-old, which means
it's not too late to make a
splash in Huron County and
the rest of Canada.
If any youngsters are
reading this, please pay
attention in school, don't
worry about being prom
king/queen, stop living off
Facebook feeds and caring
what people think. Because
in 10 years those kids you
wanted to impress or be
friends with will just be a
memory.
Pick up a book, watch a
documentary about some-
thing enlightening, it's all
about learning something
new.
Signing out on a Thursday
afternoon with a sinus cold
from hell, Shaun AKA, the
guy who wishes he had paid
a little more attention in
school.
PS: There is no time like
the present, so get out there
and do something with
yourself.
Statement from MPP Thompson on Safer School Zones Act
The following is a
statement from
Huron -Bruce MPP
Lisa Thompson regarding
concerns that the PC Party
of Ontario has with Bill 65,
the Safer School Zones Act:
"We all, unequivocally,
stand united in the need
for safe school zones
throughout Ontario, but
where the PCs and the
Liberals fundamentally
differ is in how we
achieve that. We voted
against Bill 65 because in
reality, it is just a back-
door means of bringing
photo radar back to
Ontario -which was

an emergency hotline linked

originally introduced by
Bob Rae's NDP govern-
ment in 1994, and
scrapped by the PC gov-
ernment in 1995.
"The government's fail-
ure to define what a `com-
munity safety zone' is in the
Bill means that a photo
radar trap could be set up
anywhere throughout
Huron -Bruce.
"The Ontario PC Party is
not going to play this politi-
cal game, and shame on
the Liberals for using our
children, cyclists and com-
munity safety as a shield for
yet another one of their
cash grabs."
Because some
wishes can't wait
for soineday.
