Brooke Neal

Brooke Neal came to our class. She gave a highly inspirational speech. I'm sure we all learned something from her. What I learned from her, she is brave and powerful. She's experienced many tough things, but she fought through them. I admire her. I don't wish to be a fit and healthy person like she is, I just wish that I have the same attributes as her. To be brave and powerful.

Today, an athlete came to our class. Her name is Brooke Neal. She plays hockey for the New Zealand's womens team. First, she spoke about the olympic values and how they connected to her. She also added one of her own values. Purposeful. She said that we should find our purpose. Why are we doing what we're doing. The last thing she spoke about was finding our 'superpower.' She said her team had to show a level of confidence and thought of themselves as Superman. When she finished, we asked questions and took photos.

What I took from her speech was to never give up on my dreams. Even if they fail, you could always create another dream and work your way to reach that dream.
