Life!

by Bushteens

That’s life! Or so they say when something unexpected happens and derails one’s path. But who are they anyway? The topic this past Saturday was life…..yes, we talked about life. Most people would argue that at approximately the age of 17, what would we know about life? Well, we know what we want for our lives and we see what’s helping or hindering us from getting there so we are well qualified to talk about life. Everything from the high food prices (not to mention the disparity between organic and non-organic foods) which make eating and staying healthy extremely difficult. As the saying goes – you are what you eat! How about the poor resources and infrastructure that plagues our communities? Poor sanitation, unequal and inadequate access to health facilities and the unsustainable use of non-renewable energy resources, make looking towards our future very bleak indeed. ‘But ah!’ we hear you say, ‘that’s life!’
