Jake Bailey Speech
Jake Bailey Speech
On Wednesday the 31st of July this 21 year old, Jake Bailey
visited our school. Jack Bailey was here to tell us heaps of |
things. He told us about his battle with cancer, how to be
brave and how individuals can be happy and what its like to
be in a bad situation and to have resilience. Jake Bailey was
paired with the Life Education for him to be able to come
to Karoro School and to speak to us.
Jake Bailey was telling the senior school heaps of things like
how to be happy. He said, “Things that might have made you
happy, now since you have been through a rough time they
might not make you happy again.” Jake was telling us about
bravery. “Bravery,” he said, “ reminded him of the ANZACs.”
He got many visitors telling him how brave he was but he
thought he wasn’t at all. Jake felt like he was really scared.
Jake had many worries in school like if he got into trouble and
forgetting to do his homework. Little things like that he said,
“I didn’t think of my little worries, there was more to worry
about than little things.”
Jake talked a lot about having resilience by keeping on doing
what you're doing and never giving up.
Jake Bailey had one major thing to say to everyone that was
very important. What he had to say to all of us was, “ You need
to take every opportunity to give everything you do 100% and
to be your very best for those who can’t.”
Jake Bailey was a very motivational speaker. He was very
inspiring and made people change what they think of their lives.
