D.A.R.E fun day

On the 1st of November for all our efforts in the D.A.R.E program we got to to travel to H2O Extreme pool in Upper Hutt. It was a really fun day and it was good to get out of the classroom.

Walk of Whispers

One of the activities we did in D.A.R.E was called the walk of whispers. You walked down a straight with your eyes closed and people either side of you whispering things like, don't do it, or you are better than that.

Romeo and Juliet

Ladies and gentleman I present to you another boring example of Romeo and Juliet. I would say enjoy, but then I would be lying. So try to stay awake or better yet don't waste your life watching it.

My Three Most Meaningful Words of Wisdom

1, Yesterday was history tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift that is why it is called the present.

This is one of my favourite saying of all time. It is crafted so well and has so much meaning. It basically means forget the past look to the future, but most of all, enjoy the present.

2, Life is not fair- get used to it!!!

I find this saying to have a lot of meaning to it. Life is not going to always be in your favor, however sometimes you just have to deal with it.

3, The only real mistake is one from which you learn nothing.

I believe this saying basically means a mistake is only made if you fail and don't learn from it.    

My experiances in the D.A.R.E programe

 D.A.R.E

A Brief Overview

In the first three weeks of term the senior syndicate of Muritai school participated in the D.A.R.E programe with Constable Julie. It was a really interesting and meaningful programe, where you thought about drugs, making the right choices, and what will happen if you make the wrong choice. I really enjoyed the programe, and believe is should be compulsory. 

I really enjoyed this programe being run by a police officer. Constable Julie had a lot of stories to tell us, about her job and her life. Some of the stories she told us were quite disturbing and upsetting. One of the stories i recall her telling us was a storie about a guy called Craig, who lives in Lower Hutt. He was addicted to P and was caught smoking it one day. They looked him in a cell. He ended up stripping and then he started biting himself in the arms to let the snakes he thought was inside him out. It was such an interesting storie.

In conclusion the D.A.R.E programe was really meaningful, and give the choice I would repeat it.

My favourite book pages

I looked through my whole book, and these were my two favourite pages. I really like this poem as it is meaningful and has an interesting rhythm. It's slightly disturbing and really makes you think, why would anyone try this awful drug?
