We had some very special guest come in to the year 7 and year 8 block last week. There were 3 of them the first one that spoke to us was Mr Andrew Patterson he is one of the border trustees for our school he told us a couple of quotes One of them was “I've learned that people will forget what you said, People will forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel” By Maya Angelou. I found this Quote very Inspiring.
The Second person was Marcas Winter Also known as The Sandman the first thing he did was got us to do a little dance to the song Uptown funk then after he told us to never give up and to chase our dreams he also said to do what you want all you have to do is change our thinking. He is named the Sand man because he makes art with sand first he started trying to sell his art at the Otara markets and on Queen street. Until Mr Andrew patterson saw him and thought that he has potential and brought him in and they become friends. If you still don't understand what I mean by sand man please click this link
Last but not least was Louis gordon latty, He likes to play basketball and In fact he created his own little app named Glory League where you record your team playing basketball on a Ipad so you can watch yourself again and again. The app is melted in the Ipad. He told us that he is aiming it to be like the real deal the NBA. He said “He's going to try and add a commentator and some people in the crowd to make it more realistic” . He is a real technology Problem solver. Click this sentence to see his website.
Hello Ariana,
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic post and I really like the way you have thought about each of the speakers who were part of the Future Aspirations day. I'm looking forward to visiting Pt England School again soon
Best,
Andrew
