Swimming to Safety
Hi bloggers around the world๐๐, today I'm going to talk about Yusra Mardini. Yusra Mardini is a young teenager who was born in Syria. She left Syria in 2015 to escape from the war that was happening in Syria, she became a refugee person. She left Syria on a boat, but sadly the boat broke down. Yusra Mardini helped the people that were on the boat. 20 were or the boat. In 2016, she became a part of the Refugee Olympic Team. She is a very competitive swimmer. That was just a quick fact about Yusra Mardini. Let me tell you some more facts about Yusra Mardini.
1. Yusra Mardini was born in 5 March 1998.
2. Yusra Mardini has 1 siblings ( Sarah Mardini)
3. Yusra Mardini is now living in a great country called Germany.
Those were the facts about Yusra Mardini. Did you know them? I didn't! Our task was to retell a story of the brave women called Yusra Mardini from Syria. So here is what I am going to retell. it said that Yusra’s courage, determination with a strong swimming skills were recognized by the International Olympic Committee team, and became a member of the Olympic Athletes Team (ROT). She competed at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016. That is just a part of the story that I know.
Thank you for watching
Bye Bye Bye๐❤๐

Mฤlล e lelei Pao,
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing another great blog post. We have nearly caught up to all of your week 1 activities. However, we still have to catch up to your other 3 weeks of activities. You really are a speedy Speedy Gonzales, aren’t you?
It looks as though you have learnt a lot about Yusra Mardini. What an incredible story she has to tell that she was a refugee from Syria and with her strong swimming skills she was able to save 20 refugees. She must have an incredible resilience to experience this and become a world renowned swimmer. Thank you so much for sharing so much information on her incredible story. What a brave young woman she is.
Until next time,
Megan :)

Kia ora Pao,
DeleteThank you so much for responding to my comment. I really like how you see Yusra as a role model because she followed her dream. What an incredible reason to think of someone as your role model. Have you had a dream in mind that you would like to see come true?
Kindest regards,
Megan :)
I actually have a dream in mind that I would like to see come true. That dream is to be an actor. I love acting. What about you?
DeleteHello again Pao,
DeleteWow, what an incredible dream to have. Have you done anything to start following this dream? I know there are some great drama schools in Auckland, they also do programmes over the holidays. Have you ever looked into anything like this?
Do you know what, I really struggled to think about a dream that I have. How bad is that? I think having a dream is a great way to motivate yourself and pursue something you love. I am going to go home tonight and figure out what I want my dream to be.
I guess I have goals that I am working toward. My first goal is to finish university with a bang. I am about to start my final year of my Social Work Degree. My other goal is to be the best mother I can be. I am always trying to be present with my son Nico and raise him to be a gentleman. I also have my eyes set on continuing my career as a leader. I thoroughly enjoy leading and supporting others as I see myself grow within these roles.
You have inspired me to find a dream to follow.
You are a star,
Megan :)
Well hello again Megan
DeleteI also struggled fiding a dream for the SLJ activity. But I found out that I wanted to be an actor. WOW, being a mum seems like a very good skill you have. I actually will like to be in a drama school but I would like to be in one when I go to intermidiate. Thank you Megan
