brainstorm

Brainstorm an idea or issue.

Think of something you are passionate about or something that has really affected you in the past year with in society. News papers are a great source of ideas. 
·         Love, death, school curricular
The idea that schools do not educate about love, or death and dealing with them in school. Bought to my attention recently, and abruptly these two topics have baffled me and the realisation that the 2 most influential and traumatic experiences ever encountered in life are not even recognised within schooling, yes, there have been provisions made for those who seek help in the form of counceling but it is not integrated or discussed as a topic or idea in any class.
DEATH metaphoricaly death notice, religion, empty chair
Teaching books black board
LOVE loss, lipstick on the collar, car, roses, gifts, teddys…

·         Education costs vs doll bludgers
From personal experience and learning from observation the realisation that I would be given more money by the government to drop out of or not even persue tertiary education and become a doll bludger,  have babies or become a domestic violence case, enrages me and others who are experiencing it.  it seems we, the aspiring leaders and specialty workers of the future, the fundamentalists of tax payers are not supported by the government or given much help, I  personaly am in-elligable for any support by the gov. until the age of 23. Although I do not live at home and have moved town, because my parents earn to much, the fact I do not live there and have moved town does not seem to matter thus they have no choice but to support me, I cant work to support myself due to school timetables, althought I am aware those with low- earning incomes are fully supported, with thousands of dolars for re location and hundreds in allowance weekly.
·         Share houses
Dealing and living in share houses seems to be the way to go for uni students. On or off campase the low earning or supported students cram into houses sharing common spaces, cooking and eating areas and amneties.
·         Job searching
In a town like wagga with a large moovable and seasonal populus due to the RAAF Army and University work seekers, stike it unlucky for job hunting, the market of jobs is unstable, un reliable and it’s not what you know or how impressive your resume is it’s who you know as most jobs are filled by friends of friends or word of mouth. As an outsider moving to wagga the job market  is difficult to break into especially if your friend network is small.
·         Independence
Moving out of home is a large step in anyones life for the first time, but moving out of home and into a new town is doubly as daunting.
