Cross Country Practise

I woke up thinking this day was going to be like any other day but it wasn’t. I walked through the gate and saw some of my friends playing on their netbooks. I saw Kobe he told me something, he said, “today is cross country practise” “Oh no it’s cross country practice again” I said. Today was normal until 2:50 pm.

“Hurry up we have to run” Kobe said. We went up to the startline and we were off. We ran down the road as fast as we could, running ,running and running until we could not run anymore.When we got tired we started to jog or walk. Kobe, Tau and I stuck together.We ran down to the beach and then we turned around heading back to school.

We sprinted until we couldn't anymore. Then we started to walk and people started to pass us. We started to run and we got to the gate, we ran through and we finished. “Yes” I said. We got our bags and we went home.

My project reflection



The Project was tough because there was not that much info on the controversy.The project about Ross Rebagliati it was not complete on time unfortunately.I didn't do that good according to the Rubric I took too long.My strong points on the rubric was my infomation for my script.My weak point’s was my soundtrack and voiceover my visual and conclusions.

When I finish the project I hope the project will look great.

Smoking


Cigarettes have 4000 chemicals that can cause cancer and can cause changes on the outside of the body that smoking cause.Also the money you can save is substantial around 8000 dollars a year. Cigarettes contain chemicals from everyday products.So DO NOT SMOKE


Smoking gives you cancer I know you know that but the cancer can be in any part of your body. Cigarette have around 4000 chemicals in them it contains chemicals including Benzene0  (petrol additive), Formaldehyde (embalming fluid), ammonia (nail polish remover)(fly spray)(jet fuel).The tar in your lungs will give a bad cough it will feel like you're coughing up a lung so I hear.So people have to get amputations (get limbs cut off) beacause the blood stops flowing to those arms or legs.By smoking you triple your chance of getting cancer.


Not only will it affect the inside of your body it will affect the outside and you can get bad breath which will smell horrible,you will have yellow fingernails and burnt fingertips and black teeth and rotting gums.The chemicals from the smokes can you skin to tighten and can give you some wrinkles.The effects of smoking is not worth it to me so i'm never going to start.


If  you smoke one pack a day you can save up to around 100 dollars a week,400 dollars in a month and 8000 dollars a year for one pack of smokes.You can save a substantial amount of money if you you don’t start at all.The addictive drug will make you wanting more and more until you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day.

I reckon teens start smoking because of peer pressure and everyone around them is doing it and they pressure them.People just want to fit in so they start and can not stop.

Shot put




Valerie tried to defend her gold medal but she just could not surpass her opponent Nadzeya Ostapchuk and she came in second place taking home the silver . Trying to hide her tears as she walked to the podium her sadness and disappointment showed through.  At the end of the day she lost by 0.64m.  It was emotional night as she lost the a gold medal but we're still proud of her .

Tupac and Kobe Brown Brother


Joshua Iosefo is a prefect at Mt Roskill Grammar. All perfects had to do a speech to the school but instead he did a poem. One of his friends filmed it and posted it on Youtube and then Campbell live noticed it and asked him to do a remake.


The message in his poem, which was called “Brown Brother”, talks about his skin colour .He had a very strong message about the stereotype. His message was not to limit yourself, do not listen to the stereotypes.Do not change what you look like about your self or limit what you can and can't do.
I personally felt that he is fed up with stereotypes and wanted to put an end to them.Thinking about him being mocked all the time just makes me sad.I agree with him about labelling people by their skin tone and colour.  

Tupac and Kobe The Weight lifter

The weightlifter was thinking about coming in first place having a hunger for gold and that sweet taste of victory. Determined, the weightlifter would not let anything get in his way, he would stop at nothing to win.With his final move he lifted the weight over his head and the crowd cheered.
