"Those who cannot change their minds cannot
change anything"
Kia orana, I am sorry for the 3-week delay. I will try sum up the past 3 weeks as brief as
possible.
It is now week 10 of term 3 and I can’t really say that I have been improving. I have been
letting personal issues affect my studies and my attendance. I am not proud of what I have
allowed myself to become but I will not continue this way any longer. The time of being a
year 13 is getting closer and closer and I have realized that I really need to remain focused for the remainder of the year continuing through to next year.

Recently, I have completed an assessment in Geography based on the public’s knowledge
around the Auckland Volcanic Zone and have been told that it is a definite merit and a
potential excellence. I will be studying for the end of year exam for geo later on in term 4.
I have also completed my statistical inference assessment with the result of an excellence
and am now studying for the maths external. I have finished a creative writing and just need
to do a couple of edits. I have to print off everything for my ICT assessment and I have
passed this class. Seeing my achievements thus far has allowed me to regain my hope. I
have belittle myself for awhile but I have opened my eyes to see reality.

Thinking about the role of Kaitiaki makes me rethink the steps that I have taken and the
process of how I took each step. I have made a lot of bad choices in the past and I can only
live to regret what I have done. If I want to be seen as a leader I have realized the amount of
changes that I need to make, I feel like its too late, but I won’t give up on this chance. I love
empowerment, I love to give motivation to those who give up on themselves and that is
something that I see in a lot of our young students. If there was one passion I love to do, it
is to make people believe in themselves, to overcome every struggle, because it seems that
issues like this holds back on their achievements - other than laziness.

In week 8 - I think, I was given the opportunity to attend a community clean up. I loved it! I
have a high passion in many areas and by decreasing the risks and hazards that lay
through our environment seems to be one of them. We cleaned up behind McDonald’s and
filled up about 7-9 bags of rubbish. We went in he bushes to pick out rubbish, used a spade
to scrape dirt from the kerb and put it back into the grass. In doing this experience, it made
me feel a sense of responsibility with the reward of having a healthy environment.

Overall, I know that I wasn’t at my best, but by talking about next year and everything that
we predict will happen with my friends, I have pulled my head back in the game. I will
change my mindset for term four and prepare myself for anything. I am ready to really
fight for everything that I want and I realize that I can’t achieve something without
putting in my time and effort. As everyone says, there is always a reward to those who work
hard, I would love to make myself feel worth every reward I receive by putting in time and
effort in all that I do. Let’s continue the chain of success.

Great decisions Michelle! You have a realistic assessment of the progress you have made, and while you are being quite hard on yourself, you are also being really honest with yourself about the changes you need to make. Kia kaha Michelle - you show all the potential to achieve very pleasing results in your NCEA and to have a successful year 13
