My heros, my reasons, my role models!

Do you have anyone in your life who has taught you what it is and means to be a good role model? Or are you a good role model already? Need my help? Well sure!


Being a good role model isn’t about being “top dog” or being the best looking. It’s more about what they do in your life or even try to do to make it better and easier. Just like my friend Suli! Most times she’s laughing but she always encouraged or stayed by my side even when I thought I had no one. A good role model is someone who would do anything to make you happy. Suli does way more things then others just to make me happy even if it means making her life harder. Sometimes she’ll get the blame or lose friends just for me and that’s exactly what a good role model should show.

Someone else is probably my nana. A good role model like her would cook us a big pot of food from something so little that had been sitting in the cupboard, will shout at you until you wake up to go to school, will buy you things even when you don’t ask. My nana lived a struggled life moving our parents from Samoa to New Zealand to live a happier life. They’ll go to endless limits so that your happy even if it leaves them in tears. A good role model is someone just like the two role models I have in my life.  

Look, what I'm basically trying to say is that a role model will help you live life happy risking their own. My mums a good role model, my siblings, my teachers even my principal. So there are my stories! Two role models I look up to and two role models you could take after.

How to look interested when your not...

WALT: Identify the different places, speeches/talks that are given and how they are designed for delivery.

Let’s be honest we’ve all been that one person in class who doesn’t care or understand what the teachers talking about. Well here are some ways to look interested when your really not!

So the first thing you should do is act like you understand what their talking about. If you really don’t understand partner up with someone who does and when they tell you their ideas say you got the same answer. It will make them believe that you understand the subject and also make you look smart.

Second thing to do is raise your hand when the teacher asks questions. It is something to do at your own risk of being chosen but just hope that your teacher doesn’t choose you. If you do get picked and you don’t know the answer there's always that one student that will shout out the answer even though the teacher says not to. Use their answer but put it into your own words and make it sound like that was your idea the whole time.

The last thing to do would be to sit up close to the teacher, teachers usually pick the people at the back which are the noisy ones, the ones who don’t listen. When the teacher stares at you look at someone next to you and act like yous are sharing the same answer. If she continues to stare at you pretend to put your hand up and when she finally looks away put your hand down.
