Listening...

Monday 27 May 2013....

Listening requires more intelligence than speaking  -Turkish Proverb

What does it mean?

To me this means that when you are listening you are gathering information that will help you understand and get a clear picture of what your family or others are saying.

Body Language?

What is body language?

While body language means to me that how your body reacts to something for example: say someone is talking to me and I turn my body away from them looking at another person ignoring the person that is talking to me.

Listening:

Do you know why listening is very important to other people? because when they ask you a questions you can answer it back.

Haiku Poem.

Haiku Poem...

What is a haiku poem...

While if you do not know what a haiku poem is, then today i’m going to tell you what a haiku poem is now- A haiku is an unrhymed three-line poem. It is based on a traditional Japanese poetic form. Though there are different ways to write haiku, the traditional pattern in English is to write the first and last lines with five syllables each, and the middle line with seven syllables. In other words, the pattern of syllables looks like this:

Here are some links to help you to get started with your haiku poem....

Thursday 6 May 2013, was well... the best day of our life!!! I’m not being dramatic or anything but a group of students got the chance to see that Mr.William James Adams,otherwise known as Will.I.Am . He has donated $100,000 to the Manaiakalani Education Trust. We were told at first that it was an anonymous donater but when we arrived we got the news that it was Will.I.Am himself who had donated the money.It was something worth experiencing.

When the cheque was presented we were thankful and honored for his helpful donation towards the Manaiakalani Education Trust. His inspirational words motivated us all as students to keep moving forward in life.

The words that he preached today was "My mission is to help transform disadvantaged youths, and I hope my donation to the Manaiakalani Trust will help these young people gain the skills they need for tomorrow's job market."

We acknowledged that fact the he shared a small portion of his life with us about growing up with  only his mum to raise him and about the fact that music and arts literally saved his life. He told us that his dream was to look after his mother and siblings.

When he told us what his dream was we felt like we could do something with our life. Meeting or hearing him wasn’t just hearing or seeing him as a celebrity but we got to hear and see him as a person who motivated himself to succeed in life.

We came back to school feeling glad we got to be part of something worth remembering, we got to be part of something we could tell our friends with pride and experience.
