For You Telecare Family Service (FUTFS) assists individuals and families from all walks of life to overcome cultural, emotional, and psychological barriers through a wide range of counselling and educational services and programs. In collaboration with other social service organizations, FUTFS raises awareness of social issues and supports clients in the community through the progression of a healthy lifestyle and gradual integration into Canadian society.

FUT FS provides opportunities for youth to learn and experience through various online workshops and virtual activities.

Upon completion, participants will receive up to 50 hours of volunteer time and references!

Let’s live today as if there is no tomorrow

By Kang Woo Seo

When I look back on my 20s, it was a time when I was overflowing with the energy of youth and the ambition to change the world, the time when I had no fear. If someone asked you if you wanted to go back to your 20s, what would you say? I think everyone misses the beauty of youth, but not many people want to go back to those days. For me, youth was a period of pure yet ignorant, beautiful but painful self-consciousness. I would never go back to those days if I had a choice. Instead, I would devote my remaining time to the precious use of the time that I now have rather than going back to those fierce days. In my opinion, young people do not seem to appreciate the true value of aging. They have the notion that wrinkles are not a part of life, but something to be prevented, hidden and removed. But for me, getting older means that I understand life a little bit better, and that means I understand the value of my time better. We all live a limited life. We just forget about life, and we all end our lives by spending only the time that is allowed for us. The time allotted is different for all of us, and no one knows how much time it is. Instead of spending time regretting the past and fearing the future, I try to live faithfully in the present. What will I crave at the end of my life? In my experience, people nearing the end of their lives say they want to see the stars one more time, they want to see their loved ones, and they want to see the sea. So wouldnt it be more useful to think every day about what I want? Instead of praying and asking for these things at the last minute, I want to tell you to be free to do what you want now

Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the ‘present’.
