Safe In Your Sound

So I was talking to my parents the other day about being an organ donor, despite my 'young' age. I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to become an organ donor, as I'm under 18, although I'm sure that my parents would allow my organs to be harvested if something did happen to me.

They're both organ donors, and they give blood, so I knew that it wasn't going to be something that would cause a massive argument- to be honest, an argument probably would have occurred if I'd said that I didn't want to donate my organs.

And they'd find a way to donate them anyway.

Besides, who wouldn't want to donate their organs? Even though I am a Christian (although I just wrote that I am a Christmas and had to backspace pretty fast, so maybe don't trust anything that I'm writing) I don't have anything against it because I believe that God wants me to help as many people as possible- and according to the NHS website, you may be able to help up to nine people through organ donation, and even more through tissue donation.

Plus many more that you can help with blood donations.

Think about it, and do some research if you feel the need to, and register to donate. Saving lives by registering to join a list online is so ridiculously easy.

The title of this post comes from 'Someone You Loved' by Lewis Capaldi, which I chose because the music video fits this post perfectly. So watch this, please. Watch the music video and listen to the beautiful lyrics.

And think about it.

Carers Week

Hi everyone! It feels like it's been ages since I last posted anything (or really wrote anything for that matter) but hey, exams! Anyway, this week (11th-17th June) is Carers Week, so I thought that I'd do some raising of awareness for Young Carers. First of all, shout out to my friend for standing up in assembly to talk about this, and for all those who ran the cake stall at school (they raised £69!). She's so amazing, and most of the following information comes from her. There are three main types of care that someone can provide-  physical (e.g helping to get dressed), practical (e.g shopping) and emotional (e.g comforting them if they’re upset or anxious etc). My friend thinks that emotional is probably the hardest to deal with, and it can worry carers a lot, especially when they’re at work or school (is that person ok, has anything happened to them etc), and I have to say that I agree. For young carers, the most common situations are looking after a paren...

I Find Out A Load About The Railway Industry

Image
Heya friends! I've been up to quite a lot recently (including finishing Draft One of my Maths coursework yesssss) and today, I decided to do some researching about women in the railway industry (to be fair, this is for a challenge badge but also I am interested in female empowerment and the state of equality/lack of in the railway industry is an excellent indication of general equality in Britain). So yeah. I found out a load about the railway industry and now you can too! At the birth of the railway near the beginning of the 19th Century (around the 1830s), the industry was structured in such a way to mirror how society worked. This meant that fathers and sons would follow each other into the industry while the women would become wives and mothers. They were, however, hired by rail companies to work although this work was prohibited to ‘women’s work’ such as cleaning and sewing. They were also able to be level crossing gatekeepers as it could be fitted in with family life - this p...

"So We Beat On..."

Good evening to you, my dear friend *tips hat in a respectful manner*. How have you been feeling, old sport? By the way, old sport can (and must) be used again in reverence to Gatsby as it is now the Roaring Twenties yet again (and also the title of this post is the first part of the last line of the book). Today is the 22nd of February, which means that it is the day for Girlguiding to think about other Girlguiding members around the world- my district is meeting on 27th to celebrate together. Just wanted to mention this, as it's fairly important, I believe, to think of others around the world. For example, the Guides have been looking at Syrian Guides over the past few weeks who have meetings even when there is violence and war. Anyway, today's post is (mostly) about the environment, which does actually tie in quite nicely with WTD as one of Girlguiding UK's big things recently has been about cutting down plastic waste and becoming more environmentally aware. At my ...
