My city is a person - Christchurch.

My city growls like a overprotective dog. My city shakes and roles. My city can be silent or my city can be loud. My city has been broken and fixed many times. My city is learning to be stable, but every now and again it breaks. My city is perfect even with the cracks and flaws. I love my city.

The horror camping trip...

You and your three closest friends decide to go camping. You arrive and set up camp nearly three miles away from where you left your car. Late that evening, as you sit around the campfire roasting marshmallows, one of your friends reveals a deep dark secret that turns what was to be a fun weekend into one of the scariest weekends of your life.

My heart missed a beat when I saw how pretty the sights were, the beautiful blue ocean and the smell of happiness filled the air. The hike up the hill was tough but it was all worth it when we got to the top of the hill and saw the smashing view. We started to set up camp and collected wood for the fire as the night sky was creeping in and it would be dark and cold soon. At 6:30pm the sky was full of stars and the fire was burning brightly. While sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows we decided to play truth or dare. I started by asking Sophie "truth or dare" she choose truth. I thought I was being funny by asking whats the worst thing you have ever done but the answer horrified everyone. Sophie answered with a creepy smile " Remember Jonathan that we used to go to school with" " Th the one that was murdered" said Tammy. "Yes ahhh, so funny isn't it that no one ever assumed it was me but all this time his body has been under the floor" Everyone was silent, no one moved until Sophie got up and walked down the hill towards the water. At this point the police were on the way but Sophie has already reached the water...

Self Directed learner.

My three goals are based on having a positive attitude.

1. Reminding myself that I will get through the hard part of the learning
2. Not thinking negative thoughts about the task.
3. Putting myself up instead of putting myself down.

Womans right!

We should be aloud to vote!!

Pov: Its that 1800s and kate sheppard is fighting for womans rights and you want to get involved.

It's been too long listening to what men have to say. That we can’t do what they do. That we have a small circle of things that we can do. That anything out of the circle is unwomanly. I’m sick of not having my say. Not having rights, It disgusting. I want my daughters to grow up with rights, I want her to be able to be a strong independent woman that can do anything she wants. I want my sons to grow up respecting women's rights and them doing anything they want to do. I want my kids to know that they stand in line with each other and that they are equal.

Please sign the petition to support womans rights. Because I want my kids and my grandkids to grow up in a world where we are all equal.
