Do you have a role model? Do you even know what a role model is? Well if you don’t I will be explaining to you what an role model is. A role model is a person you may look up to. Well it’s as if you are getting inspired be a real big person you look up too. They don’t have to be a big famous singer, they could even be your aunty’s, your cousins, or even your next door neighbour.

The definition of a role-model is when you get inspired by someone and you want to be like them. My personal role model would have to be my great - grandfather. He inspires me to work hard and finish strong. He also is a very special person to me and is always loving, caring and sharing.

Do you want a role model? Well, let’s start off! Say you have a favourite hobby like...basketball and you would want to be a great basketball player when you grow up so you look up to that person. For Example : Stephen Curry. I think he’s a really good basketball player and also is a very good shooter.

Do you want to become a role model? Well follow these steps; Well one really good thing is to be good, respectful and kind towards others to spread kindness, so that others can follow along and be a person being inspired by you one day.

Now you know some great tips on how you can be a good role model and how you and others can be and choose a role model, you can share this with others!

Thanks for reading!

Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 11

Hello bloggers. Sorry I have not been posting for a while. I was with my family camping all the way in Tutukaka near Whangarei. I will be posting some photos very soon. Let's begin Day 11 !
Activity 1 - Participating in a NZ sport
I have been asked to take
a picture of me participating in a New Zealand sport. Here it is: This is me on my first day of Cricket. In the picture I am holding a bat and a cricket ball. This was taken at the Point England reserve. I was playing for the Ellerslie Cricket Club with some of my friends. 

Activity 2 - Sporting hero

He is my sports hero because he is a great basketball player and he is a great person. He is also Fijian like me which is amazing although I have tongan in me too. 


Bonus - Best NZ sport
According to the Love New Zealand website, the most popular sports in New Zealand are rugby union, rugby league, netball, soccer and cricket.In my opinion I have to decide which is the best sport. I would definitely choose "Rugby union" for sure. Here is why I have chosen it to be the best NZ sport.
. It is the most popular NZ sport
Image result for rugby union. Many people play it
. It is really popular all over the world
. William Webb Ellis created the sport rugby by picking up a rugby ball and started running with it
That's all the reasons why I choose Rugby Union as the best NZ sport.
