Technology: Making Hot cakes



Today at technology, we made Hot cakes with our cooking teacher Mrs Heka. It wasn't hard making it, only when it came to the cooking bit. It was fun making it though and I did enjoy eating it too. In the end I did learn how to make Hot cakes thanks to one of the best teachers I know at Tamaki College, Mrs Heka.

How would I want to be remembered ? I have been asked this question so many times but never did have the right answer. I am soon going to be a yr 9 student and still I have no legacy to leave behind. Well remember when I said that I never really had the right answer, well now I do and I am willing to share with you, how I would like to be remembered by ?

Have you ever had this weird feeling that tingles in your body when you are about to compete in a competition. Well I have many times, that means I am getting ready and sometimes nervous but I have never let that feeling take over my whole body. Being competitive is one of them. If I like playing sports and love competing with other people then I surely know that I am a really competitive person.

Secondly I would also like to be remembered by as a confident person, who is able to speak in front of a large crowds and who doesn’t let fear overcome them. I have been able to do this many times by standing up in front of people and saying a speech to others has made a huge progress throughout the years. As well as doing performances in front of a lot of people has pushed me to become a more confident person.

I would also like to be remembered by as a really funny person. I don’t think that I’m funny I know I am funny, making people laugh is my specialty. Even if they cry I will still be able to make them laugh or even if their angry well 2 seconds later they will be laughing thanks to me. I can be really tough to handle but in the end there will always be a smile thanks to me again.

Last but not least I would like to be known as a really smart person, who is able to get  high scores in all subjects and who is able to excel consistently. I know there are still some more areas I have to work on but I sure do know that I am try my hardest.

Finally I would like to be remembered by as a independent person. As in I am able to do things in my own abilities without being told. If I become more independent then I know I will be trustworthy person.

When I leave glen Innes School I will be proud if I am remembered by all of these things because hopefully I inspire people to be like me.
