I Remember…

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Golden Learning Centre gathered together to remember the soldiers and veterans that fought for the freedom of our beautiful country, Canada. The ceremony took place in the gym and there were many dances, poems, and songs. First Ms.Parsons said a few words then the act of remembrance was said in Canada’s two official languages, French and English. Then we had our 2 minutes of silence. After this the choir sang the song: Fare Thee

Something I hope everyone remembers from the ceremony is that remembrance day isn’t just a time where we get in the gym and sing and dance. It’s a day to remember the veterans and soldiers and the military families and everyone who suffered of loss, death, pain, and sadness. They are the people we remember for because of them we have a safe and free country. We have so much and we are so lucky.

My hopes for world peace are that one day the world will stop fighting and will just be peaceful and stop fighting and killing each other. I also would like that everyone would help rebuild at least a little, the countries and cities and towns they destroyed with their guns, grenades and much more. I would like everyonet o shake hands, and sign a paper that says that they will never fight again, and then celebrate peace.
