SUNNY CAPE TOWN

SUNNY CAPE TOWN.

i love it---the beaches, the whales, the colours :)

New Adventures

I started my own website today! :D
well, actually, it's for the photography society at my school---but being the head, i decided to create it. It was kind of daunting--starting your own website--oooh...and not having a clue how to go about it either, BUT google was always there to offer its guidance (many thanks google).

Today also gave birth to our very first photography committee meeting WOOHOO :)
(even though it was just rhiannon and I--it was extremely productive)
we have a whole term plan--with lessons and outings and exciting things!

Here's a brief summary of the 4th terms plan:

• lesson 1: we have an 'Amazing Race' for photography--(clues to take pictures of different photographic rules we shall teach them just before the race starts)


• lesson 2: view and discuss the photos they took in the holidays of the theme 'reflections'/open category.


• lesson 3: discuss our OUTING! and learn 'how to use your camera' (all the weird and wonderful things your camera can do and how to take better pictures)


• lesson 4: drag out the trampoline from the gym and get the whole society outside, on the field, boucing with a cut-out-letter that spells the word 'photography' to make a heading for our new photography board (which i shall find in due course)


• lesson 5: (if we have a 5th week) we shall look through the photography board pictures and start doing our board + finalise our outing plans.


• 2nd last week of school: GO ON OUR OUTING--possible places include Kirstenbosch, Kalk Bay or the Gardens in Town.


• last week of school: bring our photos from the outing and look through them :)

WOW---I am SUPER excited! i cant wait to plan next year (which includes a possible photography camp :D )

this is our website address: http://www.wghsphotographysociety.webs.com

1 year, 11 months & 28 days

im sorry.
i love you.

Disney--the Good 'ol Days

''It's the circle, the circle of life''

Oh wow. How i miss being a carefree child---watching classic Disney movies all day!
*SIGH*

I think the lessons those movies thaught us were INVALUABLE!
I mean, consider the children of today, having to grow up with role-models such as 'Ben 10' and 'Bratz'---i feel so sorry for them! That's exactly why they are so..aggressive? rude? mature?

I can tell you, my role-models were Jasmine (the independent princess who refused to have an arranged marriage--but rather--followed her heart), Ariel (who was so determined to be a human---she never gave up, even if it meant sacrificing everything she had), Cinderella (who was treated to badly by her own family, but perservered through it and never gave up) and ofcourse, Poccahontas (who stayed true to her culture and background and defended her people, even if it meant she was treated as a 'savage'). They are true representatives of the 21st century women, whom every young girl should strive to be like.

My favourite movies were definately 'The Lion King', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Alladin', 'Cinderella' and 'Poccahontas' to name a few.

I think that even though it is seen as naive and ignorant to think that 'Happily Ever Afters' really do happen, the possibility and hope that Disney movies gives every child is priceless--and, well, how can we be suuure that happily-ever-afters are impossible....

Leadership

I have recently been inducted as 'Head of Culture' for 2011

According to my principal's speech, a leader is someone who has:

• Vision: yes, a vision is very important when being a leader--you need to know where you are going so you can lead your team in that direction.



• Passion: you need to WANT to do things, then you shall be successful.



• Follows the school's motto of "Honour Before Honours" --- meaning we should put the school and others before our own needs.

I think leadership is important at schools, because it prepares you for the future; however, i think everyone should get the opportunity to exercise some kind of leadership while at school.

We are not meant to be the elite of our school community---but that is exactly how we are depicted. I think our duties are a bit hypocritical.

Nevertheless, it is an exciting journey which I'm thoroughly EXCITED to embark on.

I love organising, planning, and running events. I love encouraging learners to join the amazing societies we have. I love being at the centre of such a diverse pillar--the cultural pillar :)

Here's to making 2012 an amazing year of leadership!

Children of the REVOLUTION

SO. Starting a movement is not just another bite in the old avo. No, sir.
There are many steps to starting a movement.

• Realizing you have the POWER to change something in this world.


• Brewing up the PASSION to address the changes you want to make.


• Building up the COURAGE to decide to make it a reality.


• Nuturing the HOPE which will fuel your passion.


• INSPIRING others to support your movement.

Corin Nemec once said, "Never let life impede on your ability to manifest your dreams. Dig deeper into your dreams and deeper into yourself and believe that anything is possible, and make it happen"

Starting a revolution is not about gathering the largest amount of follows, and creating a major stir in society; it is about starting with yourself, leading by example and naturally, people will follow. A revolution is when YOU decide to initiate something that will impact other peoples' lives. It does not have an age restriction---a revolution does not wait for those who first need to 'grow-up'. The youth have the most power but the least authority; even so, this fact should not affect those who attain Power, Passion, Courage, Hope and Inspiration.

I have started a movement in the hope of uniting the youth of South Africa to address issues our country and continent is facing. I hope the youth will realize the ability they have to impact someone else's life, positively. It is called "The Power of ONE movement"

Let's change the world while we still can.
