My Life Map

This image is of my soccer team and i when i was eleven years old. All sports that i have played shaped my life and introduced me to new people, however soccer is a sport that has shaped who i am the most. I am still friends with most of the girls in this soccer team, even though i have not played soccer with them for a long time. I had so much fun playing with all the girls and met new people who i am still good friends with today. Whilst playing, i was also able to learn new skills and become friends with new people that have shaped who i am today. All of the sports that i have played since i was little have changed who i am today and introduced to many new friends.

Grandparents

My grandparents have effected my life in many different ways, and have helped shape me to become who i am today. The photo that i have included is of my sister and I visiting our grandparents in New Zealand, where they live. As most of our family live overseas, we don't get to visit them very often, meaning that it is an important moment in my life when we do. My sister and i have been visiting my grandparents in New Zealand since i was very young, meaning it is an important part of my life. My grandparents have shaped who i am in many different ways and are really important parts of my life.

Friends

Friends are one of the most influential aspects of my life and have helped shape me to become who i am today. The image that i have included is of some friends and i, and is important to me as they are all still my goods friends today. I have met friends through school, sport and travel and they have all shaped me to become who I am today. I love spending time with all of my friends and they have all effected my life in many ways.

Teachers

This image is with my year 2 teacher at my primary school, Castle Cove Public School and was taken when i finished year 2. My year 2 teacher helped me to grow more confident in school and in class. I really enjoyed year 2 and my teacher changed the way i felt about the rest of my time at my primary school. My teachers from both my primary school and school now have shaped my life greatly. They have changed who i am in many ways, and have taught me lots of what i know today. All of my teachers, from both primary and high school have shaped my life and changed me into the person that i am today.

My Older Sister, Emily

This photo is of my sister and me when i had just been born, which shows that she has been a person that has shaped my life since i was born. My sister Emily has changed and effected who i am for my whole life. She is my only sibling and has been with me since i was born, meaning she has effected my life in many different ways. When I was younger, she helped to teach me how to crawl, walk and talk, and used to play with me all the time. When i got older, she helped me when i started school and gave me advice when i needed it. Although we annoy each other a lot, she is one of the most influential people in my life and has changed who i am today.

Family

The images that I have included show my family and I together, as i spend most of my time with my family. The first image that I included is of my family and I on holiday in New Zealand. This image is very significant to me, as it is taken in a place that we travel to every year as a family. I have lots of memories there with my close family, as well as my extended family. The second photo is of my sister and I, and is another important photo to me. I spend lots of time with my sister and she has influenced my life from a very young age. My parents and my sister are the most influential people in my life and have shaped me to become who i am today.

Cousins

This photo was taken when i was in year 6 at my primary school and is with my year 6 class. I have been to three different schools in my life, and each school has allowed me to make new friends and learn new things. Most of the friends i have today, i know from school, meaning school has introduced me to many people that i would otherwise not know. Changing schools has also shaped who i am today, as it has allowed me to become more confident and open to new experiences. School has been one of the most influential aspects of my life, and without it, i would not be who i am today.

All of my cousins live overseas in areas of New Zealand, and I love spending time with them when we visit. All of my cousins are younger than i am, however i still love spending time with them when we travel overseas. This image is of my younger cousin, Adam and I when we were visiting him and his family overseas. SPENDING TIME WITH ALL MY COUSINS IS IMPORTANT TO ME, PARTICULARLY SPENDING TIME WITH Adam. He was born with a serious heart defect and has grown up having to have many serious operations at a very young age, meaning spending time with him is very important to me. I love visiting him, and all of my cousins when we can, and they have all helped to shape me into who i am today.

Having the privileged to travel across the world is an opportunity that has greatly changed who i am today. The image that I have included shows my dad, my sister and I when we traveled to Fiji. In the image, we were visiting a rural community boarding school and were able to meet and talk with some of the students who went to school there. Being able to see the children and their school was an important moment for me, as it showed me how lucky i was to be able to got to school and live where I did. Traveling throughout the world has given me the chance to see many different countries and meet new people that do not come from the same background as me, an experience that has shaped me to become the person that i am today.
