This is my third try for this wish, and because it is something important to me, I intend to keep on trying.
I live in
North Bay, ON, 360 km away from my parents and siblings. My brother Mark live in Waterloo, and sister Audrey lives in Sudbury, and my brother Thom lives in Ottawa. It has been a long time since we've all been together, and I miss them! Some of my favourite memories therefore are of times when the whole family was together, gathered around the tv with our blankets and a bowl of popcorn, watching Star Trek.
As some of you may have noticed, I am a student of the human condition, and as my post count points out rather dramatically, a "Champion of Justice." I honestly believe that part of who I am was fueled by these aspects of Star Trek: curiosity, a sense of justice, and the eternal quest for self-improvement. This is part of what has made the field of Political Science so interesting to me. I have trouble understanding the way people think, and I want to learn, as well as having a desire to make the world a better place. This mat sound a bit like rambling, but it is how I feel.
As you can see, Star Trek has been more than just entertainment to me, it has been central in my life, and development into the person I am. That is why I am asking for some money to help me along the way to getting the full DVD box set of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the show we watched most as I was growing up.
Unfortunately, I am only a student and therefore have a limited budget, so I've had to make other priorities. You may recall awhile back that I removed my wish for a laptop computer to help with my schoolwork, as I am autistic, because I managed to pull together the funds out of my own budget. This hasn't left me with much for entertainment. The full price of the DVDs is around $400, but I'd rather not eat up such a large amount of the naughty fund.
So I ask you, please, make it so! (more)

Family is a very important part of our lives, and it is important that we get together now and again. Family is always there when you need them, and no matter what the world throws at you, they are always there with you. Best of luck to you.

Hey Peter! It's great to see you back on here! And I'm glad you are not giving up on this wsh. Someday when you do get the videos, out of gratitude you will have to open your home for somewhat regular "Star Trek nights"... you may not have kids, but you can influence somebody else's!
and if I get to North Bay I'll bring the popcorn!
Here's the link to the latest incarnation of my wish. Please swing by! [ link ]
