Drew Dudley's Inspiring Speech!

An interesting and inspiring speech entitled, “Lollipop Moments” reflects on how to change someone's life. This speech was said by a really popular man from the entertainment and financial capital of Canada, Toronto. His name is Drew Dudley. One of his sayings were, “It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.” I volunteered to say what it means in front of the class.

Our light is our talent, but our darkness is what stops us from showing it to everyone or struggling from being nervous to show it. Another thing was, “Who are leaders?” Everyone can be leaders. It is not just the people from high grades or levels. You and I can be leaders so let’s all get together as one and show our power and talent for everyone to see (better together.) Leadership is not something that expect to happen. My papa’s motto for this year to my family and it was 'Make Use of your Opportunities Wisely.' Lollipop Moments may sound a bit silly, but it is really cool to do.

Dudley told the audience the story about a girl who went up to him and said, “ I remember the first time I met you.” This is the girl whom Drew changed the life of.  If you want to be a leader, then you have to show your inspirational, personal and powerful talent. Watch this video and hopefully it inspires you.

GO PORTUGAL!

On a nice, bright, sunny day, Pt England School decided to have an Olympic day which included EVERYONE!! On the hard-courts, every kid had to get split up into countries. There were lines full of people waiting in their countries and I was in ‘Portugal.’ Our team captain was Vanilla and our teacher was Ms Burn.

“Okay Pt England School, it’s time for the march around the courts.” Said Miss Va’afusuaga. My body shivered because I was nervous.  It was Portugal’s turn and there we were walking around feeling like athletes. That was the Opening Ceremony.

About 5 minutes later, our events started and we played handball first. During the day, I saw a little girl sitting on our school mountain. So I decided to go and get her down. As soon as I got up, I saw her crying. (Her name was, ‘Mao.”) “Are you alright Mao, what’s the problem?” I asked her as I sat down. She said that she got told off multiples of times by her teacher, but it wasn’t her. It was her friends being silly and blaming things on her. I felt very sorry for her so I tried to solve the problem.

We walked down the steeply hill on the mountain and I told her teacher and her teacher, ‘Mr Harris’ was feeling sorry for her. The problem was SOLVED finally....

For rest of the day, we had a lot of fun and I felt happy. My group were laughing with laughter.

‘Taking Action and to Change My Life..........’

Recently, we went to hear the famous, “Brown Brother” speech/poem by Joshua Iosefo. The year 7&8’s were very excited and lucky to see him. I was really inspired by him. He hated science maths and english but loved P.E,Drama and music just like me. Joshua is a Samoan and Niuean.  

Mr and Mrs Iosefo are very lucky have an intelligent child. Joshua’s speech was all about how he see’s the world and mostly about skin colour, "look at me Brown Brother." After a really cool and fun speech, we all thought the same, “We really should change!” I couldn't wait until another exciting speech from him. If you wish to watch his speech, click on this link.

Finally Getting A Chance To Have A Conversation With The Popular ‘Oprah!’

I have been learning about conversations (speech marks.) Room19's task was to write a narrative of meeting your fan. Not particularly your favourite fan, but a lively famous person. I chose Oprah and this was our conversation.....................



I strolled onto the stage, “WOOHOO!” I shouted.
“I’m finally famous.” I said.
“Hello Hosannah,” Oprah Winfrey says while I finally sat down with the audience cheering.
Oprah asked, “How are you?”   
“Good thanks.” I replied. I was thrilled to see her.
“Oh my, I cannot believe I am with one of the richest human beings in the WORLD!” I said and again, the crowd went wild on the Oprah show.  You may know that I am on T.V .
She asked me really hard ‘questions’ and that’s where I get really embarrassed with goosebumps.
She asked things like, “When you first met me what did you think of me?.......... What’s been on your mind?........ What are you excited about at the moment?.......When was the last time you made a difference to somebody?....... Who are you really happy for at the moment?....... When was the last time you felt inspired?” I tried my best and she was Happy!  “So tell us, why are you here with me today?” She asked.
I said, “I am just one of your biggest fans and I am SO SO SO SO SO excited to get to know you more.”
“Well, I am very glad you’re here now, Hosannah, think of a conversation for you and I talk about and tell me all about it, I will help you out.”
I thought, “Well think I have to be a better Pt Englander.”
“What is a Pt Englander?” Oprah asked me. My response was,
“Well I am a student at Pt England school in New Zealand, Auckland.”


Soon after, that fun was over and I asked finally,

“CAN I GET A HUG FROM MY FAVOURITE SHOW MANAGER??”

“Sure Hosannah.” Oprah answered

FOUR BABIES MEET!

In the land of, “Tubby-Land,” 4 big, giant, cute babies meet. They were, Tinky Winky=Purple, Laa-laa=Yellow, Dipsy=Green and Po=Red. The 4 babies named themselves,”The Teletubbies!”

Four Teletubbies enjoy their times in Tubby-land until..................

One day, they all had a Scooter Race. “Ready, steady GO!” shouted Laa-laa. They were all having fun. Po won because she loves to honk on her wee Scooter.  Dipsy and Laa-laa went well BUT!!! Tinky Winky fell and this was where the problem happened.....................

How did they solve the problem? Well, Po ran back to her house and got some pluster, Laa-laa had a bottle of water in her pocket to  stop the blood from coming out and Dipsy massaged him. Tinky Winky was crying.

After all, the problem was solved and Tinky Winky felt better. Next, they all went home and “Whoo that was fun” said Po.

Peaceful Beach, Peaceful Land (Narrative)

It was a magnificent, sunny day and I felt FRESH! My parents thought it was a good idea to have a family swim at the private beach next to our hotel. “AAAaaaahhhh,” I already feel comfortable.

We arrived and “Ouch!” I cried out loud as I fell down on the hot and crunchy sand which relaxed my feet.  My family, friends and I were on a 6 week vacation in Tahiti at the Bora-bora hotel. We were in a beautiful resort. It was so beautiful and so nice that I even asked my mum if we could live there.

Our time at the beach was EXTRAVAGANZA!  FUN!! The water was nnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeee and relaxing and so clean. “This is the best vacation I’ve ever had!” My sister shouted. We all agreed and smiled. Playing with my beach volley-ball , it suddenly floated down and further away.



Feeling too worried and horrified, I swam my hardest to try and get it. But by the time I arrive near it, it goes even further away.

“Hosannah, relax, don’t worry, the floatable is coming to get you.” But my mum’s words were lost. It was frightening and I was half way between a BIG beach.

Finally the big boat came to rescue me. I can see someone very familiar driving it from the water. “Oh hi Dad" I said. Into the boat I went with my beach volley-ball and away we went.

We all left after a funny day. My holiday was more fun after all..................
