Term Reflection


My highlights for term 2 was swimming because it was so awesome because that was the first 6 time swimming with my friends. Also my Highlights was the 3 way conferences because my report was good. Other Highlight was meeting a professional graffiti artist Jonny Wartmon.


My low light for this term was my attitude because I get distracted easily by other students. Also was making bad choices because I hurt lot of people.


Next term I would make good choices and try to be a good leader for our class and to others. Next term I am looking forward for Rugby League for our kiwi sports and Badminton.
