Leadership and Government

  This term we have been working on our leadership and government topic that we started in the first week of term 2. My perspective of leadership is that you have to be a role model for those who look up to you because no doubt they will follow your footsteps and try to do their best just like you. What does democracy mean to me? Democracy to me means that everyone has a say in what goes and the right to vote no matter how old you are.  Government to me means someone who runs the country, leads people and has a big part in the industry. These topics relate to each other because they  all have things in common like trying to make this country a better place to live in. These topics relate to NZ leaders because the leader of New Zealand is part of the government and every leader in NZ is rather a politician or in the government. The issue I complained about was that the road signs aren't big enough meaning people who are driving at a high speed won't be able to catch every leader on the sign and the potholes are way to big meaning that if a car hit the pothole, there's a chance that they might lose control which is dangerous. My overall view on this topic was that it was very informal but not my style and I don’t really like getting into political work.

Covid strains and vaccines

I am currently working with a buddy to create a science fair project and we are both working towards ccombinding our two topics together to make one project and because they both are relative to each other I thought it would be a great idea.

The key idea in the text - SEXY paragraph 
I think the key idea in this article  always help people that are always in need, for  exsaple  in the story the young man stop to help the old lady mow her lawn even though, he was running low on time.

Kiwi culture

 For the last past 10 weeks we have been working on kiwi  culture, something that has increased my understanding of kiwi culture, that its about u and your culture, the exciting part about kiwi culture was learning about about other culture and how they are different to  New Zealanders, this has help me appreciate other culture,identity,and heritage because with none of these we will not know who we are where we are from, so that is why I  appreciate other cultures and our identity,heritage.
