Future Aspirations



Today we have heard from Andrew Patterson, Louis Gordon-Latty and Marcus Winter, aka Sandman.

He also told us "If you get bounced - bounce back." I thought that was a very inspirational quote and I was very inspired by his choice of words. Marcus told us that if you have your mind set on something you will accomplish that in life, and he also told us he actually visioned himself performing street art with sand and he completed that but then he thought of something better like performing on stage so he signed up for lots of chances on stage but he always got bounced. Marcus never gave up and eventually he got a chance to perform on stage. He started performing on cruise ships and earlier this year he went to Australia and performs on cruise ships. He told us to have a clear end in mind. Marcus inspired me alot and after his brilliant speech I wanted to learn how to do sand art.

He told us that when the judges press a button the ipad starts recording, he also said that when the judges press another button the ipad sends an email to everyone who was playing basketball. After Louis finished talking Mr Burt asked us if we wanted to use this device and the majority of our group said yes.


Andrew Patterson was a very nice man. He said he would remember you if you went up and talked to him and in the future he might take you somewhere. Andrew was the one who brought Marcus and Louis Gordon Latty to our school. He said alot of quotes and they were very inspirational. Some of the quotes were: Do more of what makes you Awesome!!!! I found out that you don't remember what people said, you don't remember what they did BUT you do remember how they made you FEEL!!!!
Today was very inspirational and I loved meeting Marcus, Louis and Andrew.
