NYLD 2014

Yesterday we had National Young Leaders Day 
We meet 6 speakers 


Charlie Laumatia
Frances valintine
Jamie Fitzgerald 
The Laughing somans  
Laura Langnam
Cam Calkoen 

The all had Different story's to tell 
some where about sports and others about team work Etc 
The all had great story's and they a proving to be Great Leaders 
The also speak around the country it was a great experience and 
I learnt a lot about leadership.

I learnt a lot of things I didn't already know about leadership, My Favourite quote of the day was DREAM BIG ACHIEVE MORE!!!! It really Inspired me to chase me dream and believe that I can do what ever is possible Like to one man Jamie Fitzgerald how rowed for over 40 days around Antarctica and walked around it in his journey he lost 32kg. 

My Favourite speaker off the day would probably be Cam Calkoen because he has a great background story and even know he is different He should be treated the same as everybody else.

Writing 2014

This week we are doing a character description on someone close to us I have Planned to do it on my Mum this is what I have so far. 

She makes my bed and finds a fluffy pillow for my Head, She Cleans the house every day and still has time to come out and play, she types on the keyboard dark and dawn, she cooks for me and feeds the chooks with me,
her arms are always wide open to me for a hug,  she may not be perfect to other people but perfect for me.

Her shiny golden hair flicks up in the air,
her big bright and beautiful smile makes
her shine even brighter than every star in the sky, her pearly white teeth sparkle In the pitch blackness, her eyes twinkle like fire flies, I love you mum even more than a thousand hugs.

To all the mothers out there your children love you the may not show it but the do, you’re not just there mother you’re there best friend. :)

Courtney!!
