Today's task with the Summer Learning Journey Programme is "Miracle On The Hudson" For this activity, we would like to hear about a time when you, or someone you know, was brave like Sully. On your blog, recount a time when you (or someone else you know) did something brave. One of my best friends (Amelia) was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer and has been back and forth from Starship Hospital in Auckland for the last 13 months. Amelia is such an inspiration to me and for many others. Amelia has had to deal with so many surgeries and chemo to try to make it better, she also has hundreds of beads that she showed me when I stayed at her house. She's doing schoolwork through the Central Regional Health School but missing ordinary school life.
She normally has lots of energy and loves being around people. But she still has at least six months of cancer treatment ahead of her. After that Mrs. Bennett hopes she will be in remission. After "living in a bubble" for more than a year, seeing all those helpful friends and strangers was pretty overwhelming for her and her mother too. now that we are in different parts of New Zealand I don't get to see her very much but still talk to her every now and then. Years later Amelia has fully recovered her chemo and I'm so proud of her and so thankful that she is better.
Kia Ora Bella,
ReplyDeleteYour friend Amelia is super brave, she has gone through so much and showed great perseverance and resilience so she definitely is a good example of someone you know being brave like Sully!
I did notice though that your answer is very similar to your answer for your ‘Overcoming Adversity’. Perhaps you could add some new sentences or reasons for why Amelia has shown great bravery so I can give you full marks!
Mā te wā
