My dad's graduation

🎓MY DAD'S GRADUATION🎓

My dad is 50 years old this year, and he has done his educations days and achieved ok for himself. During the lockdown we spend so much time together at home so he think he could do something, so he enroll himself on a course in bible study with the Trinity Bible College. 
On Sunday the 18th of April, he achieved a LTH in theology from the Methodist Trinity College.
The day started very early in the morning. We (My family) have to get up early and get ready for the graduation. We got to the church at Ponsonby Methodist church which they held the graduation ceremony, and try to get a good seat so we can see the whole thing. Boy aren't we were lucky? Because after half an hour or so I turned and look back the whole church was packed and people have to stand outside. But it's ok because there was a marque and a big screen tv already set up next to the church for the over floats. 

At first, the band played the song Humaieiki (Into my heart), to lead the students to their seats, then a lady came up to the front, and started calling the students names. The students had to stand up, once their name was called. When it had came to my dad's name, I tried to snap a picture of him. Once the three reverends finished their speeches, they started calling the students names, to come up and receive their book, and stole. I snuck up the front, and tried to snap a few pictures of him, shaking hands with the president of the church.

At the end, all the students gathered up to the front and took a photo, I managed to take heaps of pictures. I felt really proud of my dad, which inspired me to never give up and everything is possible. I hope one day I will graduate to. My dad never gave up on his study, and succeeded.🥳CONGRATULATIONS DAD!🥳 Blog you later!

Trenches/basic facts test under gunfire

On Wednesday I thought it would be a regular day like any other day would, but a kid from the middles named: Boston. Boston ran to me saying, "Hey Ros! Everyone is lining up, looking at the wire in the seniors!" At first I thought he was just using his imagination, but when I said "What on earth is going on?!" They all said "There are strings in the class!" I instantly regret what I thought about what Boston said, even though he said it was wires. (But not the kind that will obliterate you, that would be silly.) When I first saw the teachers, they were wearing black, and I thought they were getting ready to rob a bank! They also had face paint going across their face! Once we went in, the teachers said we had to stay under the strings for six hours! If our head, and arms were above the strings, and the teachers spot it, you would get shot, and lose a point. They also read us stories to write down for us to remember what happened in the wars. When we did our basic facts test, they would put gunfire sounds in the background to distract us. (This was very hard!) I also got two carpet burns on both my knees! This was an experience based on the war.
