Term 3 reflection

In term 3 we did some good stuff such as:
Technology at St Kevins, my group did cooking.
The skiing program in Ohau, I went and LOVED it.
Singing cup, I didn't get in but gave it a good try, and Guzman won for House.

A chellenge was to get a good time in cross country even while being sick and only just recovering.

Some things I am looking foward to are camp, for days of fun!!!
School athletics, it will be fun and a good compeditive sport for us all.

Essay - Biologist


Have you ever thought about what you want to be when you are older? How about a Biologist? Biologists are a group of scientists who study in labs and places where there is life in general. They need some specific skill sets but it's a rewarding job in the enviroment (& helping save it!) with a pay ranging from 62K - 168K per year. You need to work for it though; A Bachelor's degree in Biological sciences or Biology is needed to take up this role.


Biologists sometimes get special tasks in marine biology, Wolf Biology! (yes, thats a real thing) Biotechnology or Immunology, but they all really lead back to the main subject, Biology. Some biologists work at sea, Some work in the forest and some even study specific animals; pointedly the Wolf Biologist. These different types of biologists help us get a better understanding of the world of life around us. We can even get a better understanding of dinosaurs!


A Biologist normally studies living organisms, but there are exceptions like Biotechnologists who study how tech can help living organisms e.g. making a robotic arm that can be controlled by the brain. They mostly study life; more specifically organisms that are related to it and the enviroment and  Biologists also study animals and the body to understand them better.


A Biologist's other work can include Agriculture to help farming and to help grow bigger and better crops, cleaning the enviroment and rivers to help trees grow and plants live longer and have more chance of survival, and also to help fish thrive and re-fill the rivers. They also help with conservation to help support endangered animals and plants in their natural enviroment. Medicine is another way they help, finding new, more effective cures to harmful diseases, and helping Industry with safe waste disposal and less contamination.


To be a Biologist you need to have a specific skill set but also a good brain. some of these skills include: Good, practical scientific skills, (it’s no good being a Immunologist when you are better suited to Wolf Biology!) An inquiring mind to ask and solve questions and equations, The ability to think clearly, and logically and a methodical approach to work.


These are just  a few of the skills and rewards of the career choice Biology. I want to do this job because I would get to study the enviroment and help figure out some of the secrets of the planet. So I ask again, “Have you ever thought about what you want to be when you are older?” I have.

An email

From: God
To: all people

Why I give you free will: To help others but also choose your own path. I wanted you to have free will so you could be an indivdual, not all people the same.

How I wish you to use your free will: You should use your free will to help the enviroment. I wanted you to make peace with each other, not kill over MY land.

What I most want from you: To use your free will in the best possible way and make the best choices. The best way for the enviroment, not you.
