What Can I Bring to The Table At Selwyn



What Can I Bring to The Table At Selwyn


Selwyn College is a really well established school. I don’t think I can bring all that much to Selwyn because they mainly revolve around intelligence and sometimes sport. The main thing I’m alright at is Maths, because it is my favourite subject at school. On the sports side of things I could be a very worthy adversary or team mate. 

When I play sports I get very competitive and very aggressive because I always want to win. I am usually very loud when I play games, especially when people aren't playing as well as they can. I don’t have the brains like my brother but I am really handy with carrying and moving stuff (Body Builder)...

I’m not going to lie when it comes to being smart but I'm just above average, not average at everything, because to be honest, I am quite smart at Maths. I have alright scores and try my best when I do something. I always take something away from my learning with my friends.

The main thing I like to do is chill with my friends and play sports but I do manage to get my work finished when I get asked to. I always try my hardest to get my work done before the deadline but during that time I get kind of scared because I think I won’t get it done in time or I mucked up.

When there is something important happening or I try and get my work rushed I get kind of nervous and stressed out I’m usually able to keep my nervousness and stress under wraps because I am antisocial around family members I don’t know.

I’m not special, I'm not good at everything but no matter how hard or how sticky a situation is, I will always persevere and be resilient. This is why I will be an asset to my new school, Selwyn College.

Early Maori Enterprise

Normal

Enterprise is not new to NZ, it has been around for a very long time. Early Maori often traded between hapu and iwi. When settler ships arrived they too traded with the local iwi. Often these trades were unfair with one side getting a much better bargain. This helps to explain why by the 1900s, Maori had signed over the ownership of their land.




10 Syllables (Re-make)

Enterprise is not new to New Zealand. Early Maori traded between each other. The british sailed to new zealand to trade. Maoris got ripped off by the settlers. The Maoris lost their land to the british.




what we did is we wrote a short 5 sentences about enterprise and when it started and who it comes into our everyday life. Then after we did that we made our sentences only 10 Syllables.
