ReplyDeleteWearing my mittens and seeing the big letters - Canada - I feel a warm embrace in my heart, just as the mittens warm me up during this beautiful, white winter. Canada is a country of big importance in my history, it means the beginning of the most important phase in my life. Being in Canada, I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people, have access to a good education, meet the best professionals and be able to admire and explore this country wearing my mittens. I hope that over the years, Canada grow even more as a country and enrich more and more, always keeping this natural safety and this peaceful feeling that I have the opportunity to live and take pride in living here.
Thanks for the HBC for giving all ESL students the mittens and the opportunity to reflect on how good it is to be living in this country. Go Canada!
Attentively,

Everytime i see the word CANADA or whenever i wear those mittens it reminds me of how canada made me a better person. cause ever since i arrived here i learned to accept myself more just because people here don't judge the people around then and that's what i wanted for years. since i arrived here i can always wear what i want to wear without being bullied or judged by others. i grew up with my grandma who always stood by my side. but here. I need to be an independent woman to fit in with others. but for me that is not a bad thing canada taught me to be strong independent and to be true to myself. i love being here because it helped me overcome my fears be more mature and love myself more than anything else
ReplyDeleteWhen I got the beautiful mittens written with Canada , I really wanted to go outside as soon as posible and enjoy my cute mittens. I think I will wear these nice mittens very much.
