Accenture in Auckland City

Today, many of us year 10 students from Tamaki College were given the opportunity to visit a Management consulting company called Accenture in Auckland city. 

At the company, I learned about the variety of jobs that people in IT do and I also experienced coding for the first time. There were at least 5 games that we got to play which all had to do with coding. 

Fortunately, we were all lucky enough to meet Timoti Wharewaka by video calling him and hearing the awesome things he had to say about being a Maori guy and finding a career in IT. Which I thought was interesting since it seemed like IT is a white and foreign-dominated industry. We also talked about how they are trying to encourage Maori And Pacific, people to research and experience more careers in the IT to bring more diversity into the industry. 

But something that I really enjoyed at Accenture is experiencing virtual reality for the first time. 

At the end of the day, I really enjoyed my experience at Accenture and is Thankful to the team at Accenture for introducing us to something new.

The Effects Of Smoking

Effects Of Tobacco On Hauora

Today in Health class we had a discussion about the effects of smoking tobacco and what the main function of our lungs are. The main function of our lungs is for or them to help us breathe in and out and to filter out dust. Naturally, the lungs are meant to filter out dust but when you smoke it's instead of filtering out the chemicals from the tobacco.

What Color is A Healthy Lung?

The Color Of An Healthy Lungs Are Pink, But A Smokers Lung Looks Way Different, As You Can See It Is Black ,And Orange

1/2 Cup Of Sugar

Will Smith Well- Being

Will Smith - Fresh Prince of Bel Air video link

Task. Describe what is happening in the video with links to Will Smith’s well-being. You may embed the video clip or a picture to aid your writing.

• 4 dimensions

 My Answer: In the video its clear that Will is upset with himself and is feeling guilty about what happened to Carlton. He feels guilty because of the fact that Carlton is in a hospital because he had taken pills that belonged to Will. He's upset with himself because he feels like he doesn't deserve the tickets, Uncle Phil was going to give him. So this links to Taha Hinengaro  (Mental&Emotional) because he's expressing his feelings and the need, to be honest with his Uncle. Also, because Carlton had taken the pills this links to Taha Tinana (Physical) because the pills can affect his body. And since this was a family matter this also links to Taha whanau. (Social). 

I think that since Will had said that the pills were given to him and that he had the pills in case he needed it to stay awake while working and to keep himself focused while studying for his tests, I think that this links to Taha Wairua (Spiritual) because Will is still learning new things in life and is trying to find his sense of belonging.
