This morning Andrew Patterson came to our school talk to the year 8 students and learn about what our life is going to be like in college. Mr Patterson gave the year eight's three worksheets to fill out about life and what we are going to do in the future.
Then he showed us a inspirational video about a year nine boy talking about his life and saying how he never gave up and always kept going. Even though he wasn't very bright he studied a lot and became very well known and he did a speech in front of a huge crowd.
My favourite quote of Mr Patterson's was "Before you walk into your new college pretend it's like a marathon , make your way through easily and don't go all hard first " .
After that he showed us the seven effective habits
1. Be Proactive
2. Think win-win
3. Sharpen the saw
4. Seek first to understand then to be understood
5. Synergize
6. Put first things first
7. Begin with the end in mind
