Here is Myles' current situation:
"High school came and went and now I’m out in the real world (yikes!). With my heart on my sleeve, I have been looking for work to support my future career as an actor and filmmaker. I find myself constantly working odd jobs around the city (wedding videos, landscaping, writing and acting) and I love it. I have also been thoroughly enjoying my course for professional writing at Grant MacEwan. I am looking ahead at the future with a positive attitude. I hope to be a leader in the following year, while learning about free youth, our Alberta, and myself.
P.S. I seriously love filmmaking and blogging."
Here is Myles' blog post:
"Today I made a stupid purchase. That’s right, I’ve freely admitted it. Like millions of others making unwise consumer decisions, so have I. No it’s not that I bought a car, or a rubix cube that I’ll never use (or solve for that matter). I spent $10 on a burger and fries. Now don’t get me wrong; a burger and fries every once in a while isn’t terrible. The fact of the matter is, it was $10 and I easily could have eaten a healthier alternative at home. Usually I’m the first one to brand a certain golden-arched establishment as a heart attack waiting to happen, but this time, I wasn’t one of the billion served. My $10 dropped at a popular 24-hour diner. I don’t know why people opt to pay $10 to have something made for them, that doesn’t necessarily taste that good, and is not at all good for you.
I propose a challenge. Next time you want to order out, or go grab some fried chicken, spend a little less and have a healthy alternative. Or just go to a grocery store; buy all of the same ingredients (those 11 herbs and spices can be found somewhere online). Save some money, and stop your heart from pumping gravy. So do tell: what is it that makes you choose fast food over home cooking? And what is the worst purchase you’ve ever made? (Calories not included)"
Great job Myles! This is getting exciting.
