What does being a Canadian Citizen mean to you?

The following is written by Amiskwacity College's 16th year eleventh grader, Amanda Waskahat, to support Ottawa's entry into the Citizenship Rotary program. The Youth Service Committee elected to go to Ottawa to participate in a project sponsored by Ottawa Rotary Club from 2 to 5 May 2010.

Being a Canadian citizen means everything to me. Canada is part of me as well as my house as well as a part of my growth. Everyday I brought a big change to my country's identity, so I understand the world around me. As a Canadian, I have taught many values ​​and importance of accepting cultural differences and diversity in society.

There are many responsibilities as a Canadian citizen. It is our responsibility to maintain our planet, the people around us, and ultimately the value we make to Canadians. As a member of the indigenous community, my connection to the land and heritage is not only my own responsibility, but also to celebrate those who strive to create people we think today as natural I made my sense of responsibility stronger. There are many people in the world, many people are fighting for the freedom and luxury that we enjoy here.

We have a responsibility to appreciate everything that we have, to find answers to further develop our own knowledge, and to hope that many other people do the same. As a Canadian, I refuse to take everything I think is obvious, share all of the things I know with others, and get knowledge to pursue everything I dream of I will try. As a Canadian citizen, this can accomplish and exceed the way to success.

Being a good citizen is an important part of being respected. Being a good citizen means caring for others or your community. To take care of others is that you are not selfish to help you. Being a good citizen means not only helping old ladies cross the road but also helping to save animals' shelter and other things. Citizenship is often not exercised, but it is very important. When I attended school, I was able to help my teacher clean up and not disturb them. Helping kindergarten work will make me a good citizen. At home, I can do more housework and I can take my sister to the park to give my mother more free time. For my community, I can pick up garbage on the beach.

Please think about the place you live. Being a citizen of this particular country means that you live according to the laws and regulations of that country. This does not mean going there when you die. Only why we go to heaven after we die will want to know why so many people place this word on citizenship like this. We have more here and now! Later in this article, we'll cover this. Because our ground bodies are likely to change. That's not about going to heaven, but about the heaven coming in us!
