A Special Day At O.M. Mackillop
On Thursday, September 27th, we had two very special events. First, we had a visit from Keith Castello, former CFL player and motivational speaker. He spoke to the Junior and Intermediate Division about pursuing your dreams. In the afternoon, we are going to participate in the Terry Fox Run. Before recess, Ms. Green told us her Terry Fox story and we had a chance to think about why we are running. We wanted to share with you some of our thoughts and ideas about our two events.

ReplyDeleteKeith Costello a pro foot ball and he came to our school to talk about setting goals. He told us about himself and how he became a football player. Keith Costello played lots of sports. One of them was soccer and in high school he thought he was like a king but then he was thinking the football team was the worst team. He was dared by his coach t o play football by saying he if he was scared to play Keith said no and the coach said come to practice and so he did. He started liking football the more he played. After he got really interested in football he went to university for football and he was good but sadly there was no space for him on the team hewanted it so badly he practiced alot. At that time is parents were not really supportive him.

The reason we run for Terry Fox is that Terry Fox had a dream to find a cure for cancer so nobody else would have to suffer. Sadly cancer struck Terry Fox again. And he died he never got to reach his goal. So thats why we run for to make Terry Fox's dream live. We will honour Terry Fox forever by running every year and raising the money that he could'nt raise. by: Ethan Marom

ReplyDeleteToday Keith Costello came to o.m. mackillop. he told us all a story:
ReplyDeleteWhen keith costello was is high school he was playing soccer, hockey and other sports he loved. He and his frieds thought they were sooooo cool. But one day his coach ased him "why dont you try foot ball?" keieth said "no"."Are you to scared?" the coach asked. "no" said keith."so come to practice tomorrow".
The next day keith went to practice. He started to really like football.then his friends told him he was bad at the sport and he should guit and go back to the other sports. But that didn't make him want to guit it just gave him more modivation to be better and prove them wrong.
Eventualy he made it on to the CFL team.Keith got there by following his own dream and no one elses.

Keith Costello is a famous CFL football player. When he came to our school, he talked about not giving up, stick to what you love and do best and it might happen! He also talked about how he becamea football player. Keith grew up in Toronto Canada. He came to tell and inspire us to follow your dreams. S.M.A.R.T is suppose to help focus on what you want to do and reaching your goals. He got to reach his goals by being smart. Before the other kids laughed at him for plying football so that pushed himself to reach his football goal.
