Future Aspirations

Yesterday morning Marcus Winter also known as the Sandman  and Louis Gordan-Latty came to our school and showed us a bit of what they do in there time .Marcus Winter is a professional sand artist , he started off on the streets of Auckland City . He had a awesome talent which he did not really notice so he thought bigger and went a long way . He went over sea's and on a lot of big ship's he was also on television.

He struggled in school he thought he was cool because he would always go to a special class, but then he realized in intermediate that the special class was for people who needs to catch up on work because they are falling behind they need to learn  a bit more so they can be normal .My favourite quote of his was "Bro- you got bounced" it meant that you had being rejected from something . Marcus told us about his story of being bounced because he applied for plenty of jobs. And did he get accepted to any of them? no he did not but then there was one job where he did it was a artist job and that's how it all started.

After that Louis Gordan-Latty talked to the year 7 & 8 block he was a technology and basketball person. He started playing basket ball when he was 8-10 years old he thought of something he loved and thought of something to do of technology it took him along time to figure it all out then he made it. It was a app that could record you playing any type of game and shows your scored and the recording to your whole game that's really COOL ! .
