Quotes For Skills For Adolescence

“Parents can only give  children  good advice or put them on the right path, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in his or her hands.”
- By Anne Frank a Jewish Teenager who died in a Nazi Concentration Camp.

“Nobody is perfect so don’t treat others as if you look down at them,  and think to yourself that you are more superior than them just because of their colour, culture, and less knowledge of things because it is unhealthy for your well being and others.”
- By Deandra

“Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes Courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying I’ll try again tomorrow.”

“Some people will always throw stones in your path.
but it depends on you what you make with them,
Wall or Bridge?
But remember you are the real architect of your life.

If you can’t run then walk,
If you can’t walk then crawl,
But what you do you have to keep moving forward.”

What Has Changed Since The 1900's

What Has Changed In Literacy Since Back In The 1900's:

* People can get educated instead of  being just higher ranked people, like presidents, royalty, ambassadors and others.
* People have invented new things like electronics and technology.
* Pencils, tables, books and phones have been invented.
* Projectors and whiteboards and the internet have been invented by other people.
(The inventions have improved how we live and how we work in schools and other places.)

How Has Our Literacy Changed from The Nineteen Hundreds - Two Thousand and Thirteen (Which is Present Day.) :

Well after people started inventing things to improve our lives, we have gained more knowledge of words, what happens in life, why things happen, cycle of life, education, and of course past tense revolutions. But while everything seems well in our country, globalisation still isn’t connecting to other societies, cities, and countries with strict laws about women not getting education and instead just have to stay home and work twenty four, seven.

Nothing changes unless someone is brave enough to confront others to follow behind them in their idea, like for instance they could have an idea to change the law about no education for women and put out notices that signify the awareness about the topic.

My Goals for Term Three



This is my Goals that I have set for Term Three this year.

My Autobiography






“Who am I?”
My name is Deandra, my name doesn't mean anything that I know of. I am a 10 year old girl. I am a year 6 student and I was born at Green lane Hospital.

My heritage is Samoan, Maori. My mum is 100% Samoan and she is from Upolu, Samoa but she grew up in Western Samoa with her grandparents and Aunt. My dad is Maori and he is from further north of New Zealand.

I am very athletic because in my previous education schools I have made it into a lot of sports teams. I love to sing and write songs in my spare time as well.I am a good friend, a fun and encouraging person when it comes to cheering on my friends or family members in a competition.


Timeline of my life which includes my Education History

2012
I attended Tamaki Primary at the age of 10


My Future Aspiration

I want to be an international singer/rapper. I want to be this person because I’ve had a passion for music since I first learnt how to talk and I always come up with songs and raps. My inspiration or who motivates me is Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj is an international singer/rapper and she had performed at a concert in Auckland,New Zealand.

2013
Finish my time as a year six and so forth
2014
Achieve my goals at a year seven standard and then finish as a year seven
2015
Set a good example for younger students as a year eight
2016
Finish my time at intermediate and then move on to college  
2017
You’d have to attend college for another five years before going to University
2018
You would still have to do Esa’s and other hard challenges
2019
I will still be at college but I will be focusing on many topics.
2020
Finish College and hope to get a scholarship to University.
2021
Maybe if I’m lucky I would get a scholarship and then I can study to become a veterinarian or a flight attendant or a singer.
2022
If I was to start studying to become a veterinarian for a minimum of seven years before I graduate to become a fully licensed veterinarian.
2029
If I was to study to become a flight attendant it can sometimes take months to even years to get an interview, depending on the current hiring trends at the time, and the number of airlines you apply to. Once hired, training can last anywhere from two weeks to seven weeks, depending on the airline..
2030
If I was to become a Singer/Rapper I would have to have three years of singing lessons and rapping lessons for me to be worldwide international sensation.

My Inspirations

My inspiration is My grand aunt , my aunty who works as a flight attendant and my older cousin is a veterinarian. They inspire me because my aunty helps passengers, my cousin help injured or sick animals and Nicki Minaj helps people to achieve their goals when they are singing.  

My Inspiring Quotes


This week  I presented to my autobiography in front of my class. There  are some personal information I have deleted because I'm keeping cyber smart.  In my presentation I shared interesting information about my life, inspirations and future aspirations.
