This event is significant because my family and l left the country we were born in and relocated to a location 22 hours away with no family or friends at the time. When  we arrived in Canada, kind hospitality was shown at the airport and even the taxi driver that drove us to our condo in Mississauga and welcomed us to the new country that myself and my family would soon consider as our new home.  The following week I started school and found new people I could regard as friends as I started the next chapter of my life in my new country and home, Canada.

The informal essay by author Max Beerbohm, who talks to the readers about his views on walking with and without a purpose.   “Walking for walking's sake may be as highly laudable and exemplary a thing as it is held to be by those who practice it”, he believes that those who walk for fun and without purpose are participating  in a foolish act. The author believes that there must be a purpose for one to get out of their house and go for a walk. Beerbohm also talks about the excuses he tries to use when someone asks him, but he believe that it could lead up to some unnecessary question that would be difficult to answer.
