Youth+Day



Today we had 3 speakers talk to us about drugs, alcohol, smoking, martial arts. First of all Ms Fryer talked to us about drugs and alcohol and how it affects our body. She also told us what happens when it enters our body an what happens to the brain when it is digested. I found this very interesting as I didn't know much about what drugs to to you physically and mentally. Next we had to ladies Anna and Nicola talk to us about smoking and what affects it has. I now know that smoking doesn't just affect our heart, lungs, and brain. It actually affects nearly all of our body. This surprised me a lot as I didn't know much about smoking. Last of all we had Ms Fryer's daughter Carly talked about what she does in Martial Arts. She is a 3rd degree black belt. She has been doing it for since she was 7 and she is now 22. She brought in some of her Nun Chucks and her sword which was really cool. She also did a quick demonstration. I also learnt a very good life lesson: ' If you don't want to be hit, don't be there' This can be used not just for being hit but also for a whole heap of different situations. Overall I had a great day and enjoyed every minute of it!!!!
