After attending Hastings Boy’s High School the past 5 & half years, I have learnt many things, about myself as a person, I have acquired life skills, and a clearer idea of what I want for my future.

Well just this year i have learnt more about myself than any other years. After spending most of my time last year mucking around I did very little when it came to work, leaving a lot of it to the last minute. I ended up rushing to finish things where I got the big fat F written on my final papers. My final grade came up very poorly which really brought me back to reality this is not how the real world works. With my eyes set on going to EIT to become a primary school, I have learnt that i need to “really pull my finger out” as my mum always say. Which is when I came straight down to school and was lucky enough to be given a 2nd life line. I was able to attend boys high once more to complete my level 3 studies. Looking back now I am very grateful for the chance to be able to come back to school as i feel I am ready to move on in life now having my level 3 qualifications giving me more of an open spectrum for my

Many things that occur in one’s life can all stem from their individual personality, but interpreting how one’s personality guides their life presents a difficult challenge. Many actions, quirks, and patterns that a person has are easily noted due to the ability to see it, but the puppeteer behind these habits is an individual’s personality.
