Many say life begins at 40, but for me, I beg to differ. When a new path is created this allows us to mold our own future. Only being 19 myself I choose to take it for everything it's got and not waste a minute.
With tuition fee's ready to rise dramatically I feel one of the privileged few able to get a degree education whilst financially possible. For the first time I am able to study topics in which I am truly passionate about, and for that no price tag may be attached.
Even though I am forever grateful for the opportunities I have been given in life, sometimes we easily take for granted what a peaceful country we live in. Therefore, one mans laughter, is another mans tears.
The current protests in Egypt offer a perfect example. With people constantly trying to put pressure on the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to step down from his position, it really does show what a bitter sweet world we live in.
Already 10 people have been reported dead and 800 injured, I'm sure it's not just me that wishes the message had been put across by now. How many more lives are to be sacrificed before any action is taken?
I realise the President fears that if he does step down then the country will sink into chaos, but alternative plans need to be made before the death toll doubles itself. Maybe it's time for a democratic government in Egypt?
