For wk 5 of the term we had to do this specific writing piece. This piece of writing is about my journey through Gisint, my expectations, and my achievements. It helped me to remember and reflect on the past two years. It also showed my growth as a person and it displays how I think I will be remembered, as I move onto high school.
At the start of intermediate I was sad because most of my friends had gone to a different school, but I was really excited for all the different opportunities that gis int had to offer. I was also quieter and a bit more self centered. I expected to have heaps of fun and to expand my knowledge. I wanted to get half of the badges that go toward the honours badge by the end of year 7, and I wanted to have a clear plan of what I needed to do to achieve it in year 8. I also wanted to make new friends, and take as many opportunities as possible.
Some of my achievements include, coming first in long jump and high jump, placing first in the second division squash, finishing 3rd in aerobics, getting the badge for otago maths, and going away for stage arts/hip hop/aerobics. However my proudest achievement would be achieving my honours in term 4, year 8. I had spent two years dedicated towards that goal and to finally achieve it and get half the school perform the haka to me was an extremely special moment. Gisint surprised me by how they incorporate sports into almost everything, even lunch times, and tech. Sports is something that I love, so it was awesome to get that growth in physical education and normal learning. Something unexpected would be getting into all the academic extensions, writing extension, reading extension, and maths extension. They were not easy but they definitely helped me get a new insight, and pushed me to different extents, that I could not have gone to before them.
As I head to highschool, the legacy I will leave behind is that I achieved my honours. I gave everything a shot and I had heaps of fun well at it. Achieving my honours wasn't all about working hard it was also about putting myself out there, trying new things and a lot of planning. If people remember me for something it will be for giving everything a shot.
