Make an impact on our world! Stop Climate Change from happening!!

Three things I have learned from the School Strike for Climate Australia website:
  1. The children in Australia would rather sacrifice their education and fight to stop climate change from happening.
  2. In Australia, education is immensely crucial. They believe it's a way of making a difference in the world.
  3. Their network is:
School student-led
Decentralized
Grassroots
Non-partisan
Inclusive
Non-violent
Mission-focused
Ambitious
Creative


One way of helping the environment is by saving hot water. My family boils cold water to wash the dishes and have quick warm showers.

For this activity, we are to put ourselves in Nelson Mandela's shoes and write a journal entry if he was given a journal. I had to describe how he felt about being imprisoned for 27 years. I have written his journal entry on the second day of being imprisoned in a concrete cell in Robben
Island prison.

New Zealand's poverty has to be dealt with!!

Dear Mrs. Ardern:

I am writing this letter to inform you about poverty in New Zealand.

Related imageI've seen people on the street with a limited amount of things to survive on. One of them was sitting in front of a cafe and had a sign that said, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Underneath that, it said, Can I please have some food. Last year, I saw a family with hungry-looking children getting ready to sleep on top of an old mattress. It was a very sorrowful sight.

In my opinion, I suggest gathering up all the people living on the streets and donating a large box of food to each of the families every week. Another idea is putting all the homeless people in some sort-of motel for the poor. Others can encourage them to get a job. They could soon start paying their room's rental payment. I would also suggest that people would stop looking down on them.

I will expect you to make the right choice and take action within New Zealand's poverty matter.

Yours faithfully,
Roneeza.

William Shakespeare!! - Own Choice

“Some are born great,
Some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness 
thrust upon them.”

The person who vocalized this very quote was none-other than the famous William Shakespeare.

Image result for william shakespeareWilliam Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on the 23rd of April, 1564. Shakespeare was an English dramatist and scriptwriter and is acknowledged to be the most prominent writer in the English literature. He wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets, such as Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer’s Night Dream, Henry V, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Romeo and Juliet. The sonnets he wrote dealt with matters such as lost love. His early plays were mainly comedies and antiquities. Then he started to write performances in the genre, tragedy, early in the Seventeenth Century. 

The writings authored by William Shakespeare has had an impact on English vocabulary. His works contributed to standardizing the English language rules and grammar in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The introduction of new words and phrases had greatly enriched the English language, which made it more expressive and colorful.

I'm more eager to learn how to swim now that I've read Yusra Mardini story!!

Yusra and her older sister fled from the Syrian war. Their journey towards Europe was not only difficult, but was full of danger and risk. In summer 2015, they travelled through Lebanon to Turkey before departing for greece in an overcrowded dinghy.

Fifteens minutes after departing, the boat’s engine broke down. Yusra knew swimming was one of her many strengths, so she wasn’t willing to let any of the passengers drown. She, her sister and two others jumped into the water and swam for three and a half hours in the open to stop their boat from capsizing. They saved 20 people’s lives.

Yusra’s courage, determination and strong swimming skills were recognized by the International Olympic Committee a year later. She became a member of the first ever Refugee Olympic Team. While competed at the Olympic Games in Rio 2016, she also represented 65 million lost refugees worldwide.

Ever since then, Yusra has addressed the United Nations General Assembly and met world leaders such as US President Barack Obama and Pope Francis. She has been given a number of inspirational and admiration awards and has been recognized for her work by Time and People magazines.

Yusra is concentrating on her professional swimming career and now lives in Berlin, Germany. Her goal is to compete at the next Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. Yusra is a Goodwill Ambassador or UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and works to change global perceptions of refugees. Yusra’s message of hope, determination and courage reminds us that those who flee their countries are capable of achieving great things.

If I were allowed to, I'd change my name to Azeenor. I think it' pretty cool name because it's what it says when I spell my name (Roneeza) backwards. 😃
