Commitment

 In Wananga, we are learning about being committed. I read an article about Hayden Wilde who won a bronze medal in Tokyo. He showed the value of commitment by being dedicated to completing the course. I also read an article about a woman who caused a crash. Sadly, the crash killed an Irish tourist. She was disqualified from driving for 15 months and fined $7500 for preparation. She was also sentenced to 120 hours of community service. She showed commitment by doing 120 hours of community service. 

For me, commitment means being dedicated to something. This doesn't only apply to completing a course, it also applies to relationships, work, promises etc. Commitment is also one of our school values followed by achievement, resilience, and respect. 

Term 2 Reflection

 This term in wananga, we have done 2 unit standard assessments. The first assessment we did was about our well-being. We had to choose parts of our well-being that we would work and improve on. Once we had chosen 3 improvements, we had to run it for at least 3 weeks and record evidence of doing it. I recorded my evidence in a doc. Once we had at least 3 weeks of evidence, we had to write our conclusion. The conclusion was about how effective our plans were. My plant was quite effective because it helped me improve in a lot of ways. The second assessment we did was about financial wellbeing.. In this assessment, we had to plan our budget for a month. We were given a scenario if we didn't have our own. I used the scenario to do this assessment. In this assessment, we learned words related to budgeting and what it means. We also worked out the budget for the month by altering some unnecessary payments. This assessment really helped me learn how to budget.
