“Fern” whispered mum “time for young leaders”, CRASH! I sat up and accidentally banged into mum so hard that I sent her flying across my room “YOUNG LEADERS” I cried, “shhhhh” whispered mum “your sister is sleeping”.
I tiptoed to the lounge were mum gave me a hot chocolate, I sipped it quickly and ran of to get changed and brush my hair. Mum had started putting my lunchbox in my bag. 5 MINUTES LATER: The car door slammed and the engine roared away in the darkness.
“Bye mum” I said “see you at 7:30” I hugged mum and trampled onto the bus with Maliesi. ABOUT 1HOUR LATER, “Maliesi look it's getting light now” I looked outside again staring at the slightly risen sun.
A few stops and many Pringles later… “EVERYONE OFF THE BUS” Shouted mr Anderson. We walked in a line towards the building and entered. Mr Anderson handed out wristbands (pink or blue, because we had to wear them) the wristbands all said ‘I am a seed born of greatness’.
We all walked through the doors and into our seats, well not entirely, there were blue notebooks and a pen on every seat.
“Maliesi look it's starting” I whispered pointing towards the stage. Sadly while I am writing I can't write about ALL the speakers so I will just tell you about my favourite speaker Matt Brown.
Matt Brown has 8 other siblings and when he was a kid their family was poor and couldn't afford most things like camp trips and food for lunches, and one day his school got given notices about camp. Later on that day he showed his mum the notice and she said that they couldn't afford it. The next day their teacher told everyone to hand in the notices everyone got up but Matt didn't, his teacher asked why he wasn't getting up and Matt said “umm umm my uncle died and he lived in America so it's a funeral” his teacher just said “ok cool”. I think that this was a great act of kindness so Matt didn't get embarrassed.later Matt discovered that he wanted to be a barber one day so he went to the wharehouse and brought $20 equipment, now days he has $400 equipment and it just goes to show that you can achieve your dreams starting with nothing.
I hope you enjoyed this bit of writing!

Hi Fern
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy this writing. I enjoyed reading this phrase, 'many Pringles later'. I enjoyed readig about Matt again, I certainly fond him interesting to listen to and inspiring.
Hey Fern that was a great re-cap of YLD. It was very early time to get up but the day was worth it. I loved hearing all about it and the people who inspired you. Tracy
