DESCRIPTION
These are snippets of my life that I would like to share with you.TRANSCRIPT
Me, Myself and I
My PhilosophyI believe:• Life is to be enjoyed! Everyone should set goals and
strive to achieve them• The Environment is central to all life, to our well-being
and thus requires care.• Children are entertaining, can be surprising, are often
underestimated. They are our greatest resource for the future.
• Learning is individual; starts from day one and never stops: if people are not learning they are closed minded.
• Schools are the key for any community, a good school reflects a good community and it's needs.
Following Are Some of the Things I Will Share About Myself
• I was born in Paeroa and lived on a dairy farm until I was eight.
Parents
• I owe a lot to my parents. They had a major influence on my life.
• Dad loved farming and was very community minded.
• He loved sport and excelled in rugby and cricket. Later on he played bowls, which he also did well at.
• He did a range of jobs including delivering milk, rearing chickens and pigs.
• My mum is South African. Dad had to teach her how to cook. Mum was a qualified nurse and when she first came to New Zealand worked at the Thames Hospital.
• If I could be compared favourably with my parents, then I would be very proud.
Our House on the Farm• We use to jump out of the bedroom
window thinking that it was sooooo high and we were very brave.
• I have a younger brother and an older sister. I sometimes suffer from ‘middle child syndrome’.
Moving Around
• From Paeroa we moved to KatiKati where we lived on an orchard. After that we had a couple of years at Te Puna, finally settling in Omokoroa, which was a great place to grow up because of the sea.
Things That Make Me Smile
• Being on the water, swimming, skiing or fishing.
• Being with my family and my friends
• Knowing that someone that I have taught has found their talent
• When someone surprises me by doing the unexpected.
• Eating
Goal Keepers are Incredible People
• … and a little crazy!!
Hockey has been good to me!!! I have made friends and travelled a lot because of it. I believe you can apply what you learn through playing sport, to other areas of your life.
Animals!!
• I wish I could live on a farm and have chickens and cows, donkeys, camels ….
Travelling
• I have been to a few countries and have a goal to travel to South Africa and Europe in the next five years.
That’s Abit About Me
• P.S: I hate heights.
