A Good Quick Mate & a Job to be Done!
25th of June, these special people have a look around our school. They are from Abu Dhabi, a special country in Asia, the middle east. I was o excited because I speak arabic and so do they, so them we could have something in common and also speak to eachother in this hidden language of ours!! Me, Nadine, and Sokeina, also from the Allstars, were hired to do a job. This is job was to walk along with them, translate if needed, explain if needed, and talk to them in Arabic about where they were, what the class was working on. Completing this job with us, Natalie, Ramiz and Momtahina, all from my class. It was a relief to have some friends, Sokeina and Momtahina to walk around with.
For 2 hours straight, we led them,l did our job, had a superb time and made some super nice friends. Me, I was instantly made a mate by a man called Ali, who had a heart of gold. it was a fun day!! Really!? And also, as a reward we received golden badges and touching thank you’s along with a special dessert with the teacher in the staff room! What a day, and an honour! How proud I had felt, so very proud. Part of the dessert was Scones, and cake. Yum!!!! :)
It was really heart breaking to say good bye for me!!!

Hi Nadine,
$15,000 is really good, what did she spend it on? Anything for the school? How many toondoo’s have you made?

Posted July 1, 2008, 9:01 amHey Nads,
Posted July 1, 2008, 10:57 amWhen I found out I wasn’t showing them around I was like “Ohhh!” but i hope you had a FABULOUS time showing them around! It was really funny when your friend, Ali kept looking at me and Kesaias work but didn’t talk to us then he finally said something in Arabic and of course me and Kesaia didn’t understand. But they were all really nice.

Thanks for the comment. I’m sorry you didn’t get chosen. although you would have done great, it was fun and exciting to have them. Especially Ali, how funny he talked to you in Arabic.
@ Nicky
Thanks for your comment. A toondoo is like this cartoon that you make and write whatever you want in just 3 slides. This can be published on the site and have viewers and etc. Basically, it is a cartoon story you make!!
To go there, go to Google and search Toondoo and you’ll surely find it.. somewhere.
About the friends thing, place a comment on their blog and they will comment back and then they will become your friends too!!
See you all then!!
