Week 8, Term 3

This week the National Indian Language and Culture trust held its annual Oratory Competition. And I am proud of myself for participating and bringing home the 3rd prize trophy. This is definitely an improvement from when I had participated last year and I hope next year I do even better. Looking around I saw many students from various schools, in fact a majority of them came from the best schools in Auckland. And so I am thankful and honoured to have represented Papakura High at this event. 
 

Week 7, Term 3

This week I learned about the importance of taking a break. I have a Hindi Speech Competition coming up on the 12th of September so I am pretty excited for that. It is also a time of concentration and with only three weeks left to go, an important period for finishing any assessments. I am trying to do one or two things at a time so that I don't stress myself out. It also ensures that I am still enjoying the subject and learning along the way. My weakness is that I can spend hours on a certain subject. So by doing one/two things at a time I minimize the chances of losing attention and that increases productivity. 

Week 6, Term 3

The tensions grows as we near the finish line, we all are running a great race of which, each track spans across various subjects. I've got a speech to learn, a geography assessment to finish, a biology assessment to finish and many more. As I gasp for air in these stressful times, It is a constant reminder that as much as we all wanna breath, we want to succeed just as much. And maybe some of us will fail but that is not an excuse to stop being your best and working yourself up to the top. As the term nears a closing, remember that life will beat you down and you can get hit and fall. But learn from your mistakes and you will be unstoppable.
