First we watch this boy say this inspirational speech then all of sudden hes at our school saying it in front of us. His name is Joshua Iosefo and his speech is very inspiring and I recommend yous to listen to it. It could help you in many ways like enjoy writing more or believe yourself more.
After he said his speech we got to ask questions. I could only remember him saying that his granddad inspired him, saying how his granddad migrated to New Zealand. Joshua Iosefo also said that he wanted to be a movie director, directing movies based on real stories.
Then he started to talk to us and say like it was up to us to change the stereotype. Like instead of people thinking that we're dumb prove that we can be really smart if we push our self. Also to believe in yourself and not to listen to people telling us were dumb just because were Maori or Pacific. His speech was very helpful to me in many way’s because I’m starting to enjoy writing.
This story was written in my own time. I could of been playing games but I decided to write about what happened today. Joshua changed how I think about writing.

Pay Or Pay More
If you have pirated movies or music I recommend you to delete them before you get a fine of 15000$. Its not worth having them when you can just buy them for 20$ at the warehouse. Also think about the people that make the movie or songs and how much money they pay for the equipment to make it . If everyone pirated people would stop making movies and songs because they would get nothing for it. Then there wouldn't be any new life giving symphonies, melodies or harmonies. So please don’t download e legal stuff for your own saik.
Joshua Iosefo
Today was a special day today because Joshua Iosefo came to Pt England. It was special because Joshua wrote a poem Brown Brother that was really inspiring, so inspiring that it got onto Campbell live. At the end of his speech we got to ask questions. From the answers I learnt that our generation can change our stereotypes. Instead of being known as one of the dumbest cultures we could be one of the smartest cultures.
His inspiration was his grandparents especially his Grandad who he said he migrated to New Zealand in the 1950's with 6 shillings and a plastic bag.
Also Joshua wanted to be a director, directing movies based on real stories. This was inspiring because there are not that many Samoans who make movies. There were lots more questions and answers. I think I learnt a valuable lesson today to not believe the stereotypes but to go hard at your school work and to follow your dreams.

Best Night Ever!!! The Year 7 & 8's Social
This was the night were all the fun stuff happens. It was the year 7 and 8’s social and I was ready to go. I was so excited to see what my friends look like.
I was in the car ready to go to the best social i would ever go to in my life. Finally I was there and the first people I see are Matthew T,Mathew R and Kayde. But i thought I looked better.... jokes we all look good. The doors opened and we all rushed in like a animal stamped.
“What there’s not that much people here” I said . But there was hardly anyone there and it was boring then all of a sudden more and more people came and the fun started. The time flew bye as I was having fun dancing with my friend.
The first comp was a doggie comp nez took that out. Then we had two more comps azonto and gangnam. I didn't win any but i still had fun.
Then we had the meanest feed fizzy and sausage sizzle. I wasn't really hungry because I felt sick but not sick enough to stop dancing. Then we started a conga line it was really fun.

Olympic Day
On the 20th of september at school , it was no ordinary day at school it was a fun packed day of sports. We got put into teams and the teams were named after countries that were in the world cup. I was a captain of a little country named ROMANIA!!!
The first event we had to do was a murch around the court. First it was exciting then it eventually went boring because we walked for quite a long time and I wanted to play sports. Finally we got started the first event we did was basketball. It was my favorite sport event we did that whole day because everyone got a turn and everyone looked like they enjoyed themselves.
At the end of the day I think I was a Great leader for my group and i would like to lead more often. I also would like to say is that even though we lost we tried our hardest to win and we all had fun versing the other countries.

Cross Country
My heart beating, my adrenaline starts pumping and my mind is stuck in the the game as I prepare for the race. Suddenly Mr Burt claps two pieces of wood and we start running like a wild pack of wolves. I begin at the back but start to catch up as people slow down. Then all of a sudden I start to sink into the ground. The mud is so muddy that it sucked one of my shoes off my foot like an ant stuck in honey. I put it on as fast as lightning and carried on. I was finally past the field and on to the bush track.
This was the second part of the cross country and I start to slow down but didn't stop running . I had the stitch but luckily it went away. On the way through the bush I meet the enemy the puddle but it wasn't going to get in the way so I ran through it like it was dry ground. After a while I came across some people in a previous race. I thought to myself I must be doing well. Suddenly I heard a thump, Jephte had just slipped on the bridge. I looked back but he was alright.
Finally I got to the last bit “Yes” I said but sadly got told to go around the reserve again and I was like “WHAT!!!?”. So I ran around it I was coming in third place when I saw Miracle catching up so I took of my shoes and started to pick up my pace to the finish. Without any effort I got to the end and everyone was cheering. I got in the top three and got some points for Tainui.
