Strive to succes!!!

Today we had two special guest named Mr Patterson & Raenan who was known as a ex student at Pt.England School.  He came to talk to us about Inspiration, Aspiration and Motivation and that it all leads up to success he said that his main goal since year 9 in Tamaki College was to be deputy boy for year 13, Four years later he achieved his goal. Mr Patterson said that when opportunity come take them but also learn how to say no, back in year 8 Raenan was on on the NZ herald news paper.

Mr Patterson showed us a video of a boy named Dwight who was also a guy who achieved in school even though he grew up in a bad child hood he never gave up and kept on pushing, his video was very inspiring and his quote was "You can't CHANGE unless you CHANGE yourself". The point today was to take opportunity that will get you somewhere and never listen to put downs.

My speech

Why you should come to school?

So my topic for today is why you should come to school?

Kids, they think school is just a thing you can run away from or ignore, well you can’t because school is like a part of your life.  I mean who would want to stay home. Like my teacher says “you stay at home doing nothing, you roam around with no money.  Look how many things you could do at school have a full conversation about life, play touch or held if you have a referee and a mouth guard.

Waking up in the morning and thinking if you should or shouldn’t come to school, I mean before you think about if you're coming or not just think about kids who can’t read and would love to go school. Even kids who just can't afford the things they need for school or uniforms.  Those are things kids don't think about they think school is for free.
