Fellow Scots and Friends of Scotland.
Today is Burns Day, the day we celebrate one of Scotland's finest minds. I like to use this day to reflect on his work and many other fine Scots. I believe that this is a day I can come together with my family and spend time with them as they are the most important people in my life. This year has been a difficult year for Scotland. We are facing massive cuts from Westminster, difficult weather and so on. I am sure Robert Burns would have had something to say about it if he was around!
This year has also been a difficult year for me so far. The Scottish Youth Parliament elections coming up on March 14-25th which I am standing in hoping to retain my seat which has been redrawn by the Scottish Boundary Commission and renamed Glasgow Southside, There is also the Scottish Parliament elections on May which I am involved in through political campaigning. I have also received sad personal news on Friday that my Gran has cancer which is very difficult for my family and I.
Through these difficult times I will look for guidance from many places. My friends, family, the work of Robert Burns and many other places.
I hope you have a fantastic Burns day. Enjoy his work!
