Toma Future Aspiration

On Wednesday the 20th of May 2015 two famous people Marcus Winter who is also known as The Sandman, Louis Gordon Latty who is the founder of Glory League and Andrew Patterson visited the Year 7&8s and Pt England School and they were all talking about how to influence the world. Andrew Paterson came up to talk about how to show awesome and other quotes, we also made up our own quote for the year 7&8 it is called S.W.A.L.L which means Show What Awesome Looks Like. Witch also relates Andrew Patterson quote.

He also told us "If you get bounced - bounce back." I thought that was a very inspirational quote and I was very inspired by his choice of words. Marcus told us that if you have your mind set on something you will accomplish that in life, and he also told us he actually visioned himself performing street art with sand and he completed that but then he thought of something better like performing on stage so he signed up for lots of chances on stage but he always got bounced. Marcus never gave up and eventually he got a chance to perform on stage. He started performing on cruise ships and earlier this year he went to Australia and ended up performing on cruise ships. He told us to have a clear end in mind. Marcus inspired me alot and after his brilliant speech I wanted to learn how to do sand art.
Which i would never learn

Then the founder of Glory League Louis Gordon Latty told us that he loved playing basketball even before he was five years old he was good at basketball. He told us about a invention he made that involves an ipad. This invention was made to record the whole game so they all wanted to feel like they were in the NBA. And it was also made to make people feel proud and passionate about themselves.How it works, well it works when the judges press a button then then ipad starts recording, and it stops when the judges press another button and then the ipad sends an email to everyone who was playing basketball. After Louis finished talking Mr Burt asked us if we wanted to use this device and the majority of the year 7&8 said of course.
Andrew Patterson was a very nice man and he also visited our school before and he taught us how to project our voice without shouting. He said he would remember you if you went up and talked to him and in the future he might take you somewhere. Andrew was the one who brought Marcus Winter and Louis Gordon Latty to our school. He said a lot of quotes and they were very inspirational. Some of the quotes were: Do more of what makes you Awesome!!!! I found out that you don't remember what people said, you don't remember what they did but you do remember how they made you feel!!!! Yesterday was very inspirational and I loved meeting Marcus Winter, Louis Gordon Latty and Andrew Patterson .

  1. Hi Toma, i am glad to see that you are inspired from the 3 guest speakers we had. I'm also really impressed with how much detail is in your writing, how much you could remember of what they talked about and how you incorporated it in to your writing. Good Work!
