Temepara Bailey

Temepara Bailey has taught me a few things in just a short time and the most important message is, to never give up! Also, taking small steps can lead into something more if you just believe in yourself. Focus on your goals and try and achieve them. If you fall, just get back up because it’s not the end of the world. You have years and years to improve on your mistakes. Don’t let that put you down. While Temepara was speaking, she reminded me of one of my favourite quotes. That is, “Forget what has hurt you in the past but never forget what it taught you.” She didn’t make it to the team she wanted with just the snap of her fingers. She stood up and kept walking. Temepara also said that if you really want something in life, you would do whatever it takes to reach it. Never let those who are trying to put you down, step on you. The important thing is following your dreams and doing what people say you cannot do.

. That is what Temepara did and that is what I am going to do! Written by: Joana Panahon 
