                    <description><![CDATA[My life has taken so many turns in recent years but I have always been able to pull through what ever hard times I faced. I just want ot thank Jesus for that. Without him I don't know what I would have done. In four years I have lost 2 grand parents and my dad. My brother has been diagnosed with cancer and I have lost a close friend. If it had not been for the grace of God I don't know how I would make it through. So Thank you Lord for all you've done. ]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[I was Daddy's girl. I went everywhere he went and was niece to all of his friends.He was the one I looked to for comfort, for protection he was Daddy and I was his little girl.  I became a teenager and hated him most of these years. He was ruining my life, he didn't love me why didn't he go away. I grew into a young woman and realized that he always loved me. I realised that he was not superman but only human. He couldnot move mountains he was just a human like everybody else. He was getting older, his body was getting weaker. I realised that I was losing him. He became weak and frail. A completely different person. Superman he was no longer. My dying father he became. I am Daddy's little girl no more. I have no Daddy. I am now just a girl :(<br />
<br />
I MISS YOU DADDY]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[On Friday September 7, 2007 our Prime Minister, Sir John George Melvin Compton died at the age of 82yrs. The country is now mourning his death. He was a great man, a great politician. Loved by many and hated by many (thats the way it is when u are a politician.) He will be missed by many. LEts pray for our nation that we are able to get past this. And go into the future with the hope that his legacy will inspire others to strive for his level of success.<br />
<br />
RIP Sir John.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[On Saturday the youth parlamentarians went to visit to home for the less fortunate. The Children's Home and one of the Seior Citizens' Homes. I must say I had a great time in the presence of both the children and the elderly.  The children were so polite and so happy to see us.  They played with us and they even called me big sister. It was great. I am definitely going back to see my little sister and brother again. they are so cute!! I even have their pictures. I am going to get them framed and put them up!  <br />
<br />
The senior citizens were great as well.  They were very energetic and jovial. I definitely want to go back to see them also.<br />
<br />
It was a good day. Were brought food hampers to them and also we gave the senior citizens a television.<br />
<br />
I love community work by the way. That is why i am so excited!!!]]></description>

I get to speak on whatever issue relating to poverty that I like so i am here trying to come up with something. I am completely lost. I am leaning to the effects of poverty on the HIV/AIDS rate or on Education. Not sure yet. I have to have a speech tomorrow mind you. So I am Here probably for the entire night.<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[The new year is here and I plan to make the best of it once again.<br />
<br />
Looking back on 2006, I must say that it was a good year for me. I made lots of friends and kept all of the old ones.  I was disappointed yes, but I still think that it was a great year. I have learned from my mistakes and the disappointments that i have endured. I am certain that these will help me make 2007 an even better year.<br />
<br />
I would like to wish all members of the TIG community a very prosperous new year. I hope that all your wishes and dreams come true in this new year.  <br />

Some teachers fail to realise how important a part they play in shaping he lives of their students. This is why i believe that teachers should be recruited carefully and that they should be thoroughly screened before being allowed any part in educating others, especially our youth.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[It is such a great thing to be able to say that you have true friends. People sometimes take friendships for granted because for them it happens so easily. i recently ment a young man who confessed that he had no friends. He didn't speak to any of his siblings and he didn't talk to any one unless it was unavoidable.  I felt such sadness for him because, although I don't show it most of the time, I couldn't imagine my life without my friends and family. I don't know how he can. So I now am going to be his first friend and I hope that that will open him up to the world and that he will be able to say that he has more than one friend in his life.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[I think sometimes that things go wrong deliberately in my life. Things happen to me as a result of my actions. Everything that goes on I put the blame on myself. Even If It has or had nothing to do with me. I don't let people know that I think that of course because I am afraid that they will blame me too, but deep down I truely believe that anything bad that happens around me is my fault. I just can't seem to stop thinking that.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[There is so much violence going on in the world today that people are afraid to leave their homes, yet they do not feel safe there either. How can we change the direction in which we are going? What do we do about it? I there really a solution to this problem or is this path inevitable. I see and hear so many persons talk about finding a solution for the problem but I don't see any. Will we get back on track or will we continue down this distructive path until we are no more?]]></description>
