Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen.

I would like to tell you about my year at Shine Academy.

When I started at Shine, I felt nervous, but I was also excited to meet Miss Anderson and all my classmates. I was looking forward to learning new things that would help me.

The 4 most important things that I learnt and would like to tell you about are:

  • Number 1 – To be positive, happy, laughing, smiling and looking for the good in everything. In other words, I want to be someone others want to be around – a people magnet.
  • Number 2 – That while I will always try my best, I may not always come first or win. I know that I will congratulate the winner and show good sportsmanship.
  • Number 3  – sometimes I ask for things but I am not allowed to have them. I will show respect by accepting the reason and not having a tantrum.
  • Number 4 – Inside beauty, in my heart, is more important than outside beauty. I tell myself, “I rock!”

Lastly I would like to thank Miss Anderson for teaching me so many important things and all my classmates for being supportive and helping me to learn.
