Week 4, Term 3

 Though I had been sick all week long, it did not mean I had to stop learning. I decided to listen to Nelson Mandela/ Madiba's autobiography (Long Walk To Freedom). I learned how Madiba got the name Nelson, and his upbringing as a child in South Africa. During the week I also learned about Isaac Newton and his hobby of building sundials and water clocks. But most importantly I found things that I could relate to in both historical figures.

  1. Well done Bhavesh. Id love to hear one or two things that you have learnt yourself from following the pathways of these figures. Nelson Mandela and Isaac Newton are certainly quite contrasting figures.

  2. I have learnt that both Isaac Newton and Mandela were passionate in what made them happy.This is quite important to me since passion is what keeps me motivated and is the energy that fuels most of the learning that I do at school and at home. Like these two great figures I love what I do, It is priceless and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
