Cocconed in my duvet,
Already forgot my dreams.
Dont want to get up.

most inspiring teacher:
A teacher that inspired me was Mrs Irwin. She was my teacher for two years in intermediate. She inspired me to do well in high school. She pushed me to be my best in year 7 and 8. I still go back to talk to her about my achievements at high school.

Olympic opinions:
The Olympics is the pinnacle of any athletes career. They train all their life for the chance to represent their country at the worldwide event. There is a wide range of sports to compete in, so any kind of athlete can compete. One sport which is not included in the games is netball, even though it is played by many people all around the world... so why isn't it included in the Olympic games?
The main reason is that netball is that netball is predominately a woman's sport, although there are some men's teams. Also, the fact that it isn't necessarily a global sport is a contributing factor to its omission. However, netball has been played at the Commonwealth games since 1993. It's staggering that netball has been overlooked in the Olympics, when a movement to include the game failed. Although woman's boxing succeeded as it has been included in the 2012 Olympics. Maybe we should push to get netball included in the next Olympics.

olympic moment-
One of the greatest moment in Olympic history was when the Olympic Gymnastics team won the gold for the USA in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The event is known as the Magnificent Seven, referring to the gymnastics team; Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Dominique Dawes, Kerri Strung, Amy Chow, Amanda Borden and Jacie Phelps.
I think this is a great Olympic moment because on Kerri Strung's first vault routine, she badly injured her ankle and had to be carried off the mats. But in order for her team to have a chance at the gold, she had to do a second vault routine. And she did! Even with her injured ankle, she still carried out the vault perfectly, running through the pain and sticking the landing on both feet flawlessly. She then had to be carried to the medals podium by her coach.
I think it's pretty amazing that Kerri was able to compete even when she was so injured. Any other person could have just said "No. I just can't do it." She showed real determination and true Olympic spirit.

"I did it!" The man gasped in a heavy french accent. Detective Jones was shocked that he'd gotten a confession so easily, and the man under him noticed. "Yes, thats right." the man said, "I pushed the fruit trolly and killed 9 people." "Why?" asked Jones in confusion. The man's face darkened, "None of your business." he snapped, "You filthy police think you can just barge in on other peoples lives and jump on them like this...." he trailed off. It seemed that the french man was a bit crazy, the detective thought. The man interupted his thoughts with a swift punch to the face, which knocked Jones off him and the man made a run for it.
When Jones had recovered from the punch, he looked up in time to see the man disappear around the corner. The detective quikly picked up his radio and called for back-up. "Man running down Lawrence Lane, code 3, code 3. Proceed with caution, he has already killed 9 people today... hand cuff him. I'll be right behind on foot. Go, go!" He then sprinted around the corner, seeing his partner stuggling to keep the man contained, he slipped the hand cuffs around the man's wrist, and pronounced clearly, "You are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent but anything you say will be used in court. State your name, please." "David Kipper," he said, a slow smile spreading accross his face. The detectives eyes widdened as he recognised the name. It seemed he had the FBI's most wanted under his care.
