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 Because y ou love MedicAlert°.The bracelet with an emergency hotline linked to your child's medical record Call 1-866-734-9425 or visit www medicalert.ca 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."
