The Speical Guest

Today we had a special guest for Duffy assembly. His name was Joshua, he came in to share his speech with us, Joshua was a student from Mt Roskill College. Three years ago he shared a speech with his school, after saying that people from all around New Zealand were inspried. He was a guest on Cambell live, So actually it went global around the world. Joshua came into our school with his brother, to share his speech and why reading is cool. He also shared his grandfathers story back in the days. His grandfathers name was Su'a, he was a strong and short man. One day his little sister was crying, He would always protect his little sister. She said, "That man hurt me." He said,"don't worry i will take care of this." So he went of on his journey through the islands of Samoa looking for this man. When the sun was behind the horizon he saw the man, he grab a rock and  strike him. He felt sad, His sister saw what he did. She said, "Su'a, you better leave Samoa or else you will go prison". So Su'a  pack his things, said his by's to his family and went on a plane. The plane landed in place could New Zealand. He unpacked his stuff, he only had a singlet, two coins and a bible. He would promise him self to read everyday and work hard. He would do this everyday (247). Two years went past, after working hard and reading everyday he built a house, Married a beautiful Samoan woman, reunited with his family, had six kids, eight grandchildren and one of them was Joshua. So that what happened today, thank you for reading
