As Christina was talking I felt really connected to her; it could be that fact that I was three feet away from her or that I had a family member with a similar incident. But there would be sometimes she would really confuse me by unsaying what she had just said. I really loved how she was honest about how she felt about the car crash and how she felt that she was a pain to her family. But the fact she still kept a positive attitude throughout and started to take baby steps one by one; and where she was to where she is now is an incredible achievement.
overall this was an incredible experience, I am also quite sad that writes fortnight is over but it has been an incredible fortnight. I really am excited about next years fortnight. I really can’t wait
ed his story about him dropping out of school and ending up where he is today is completely incredible. I admired the steps on how to write a book. The art and the science behind it, they are both totally unlike from one and other in every way. I also love the fact instead of only speaking on about his work, he kept the audience connected by calling at random students to participate. I can now understand why it takes people so long to write a book and why you need to have research than just making it up on the top of your head. It still shocks me he rights a book every year.
I found Danny’s story of how he had to fight cancer, keeping it away from his parents, having to live off his earnings from only doing art. When I first heard about him and his life, it sounded like something out of a movie and I expected to be let down; but I was intrigued by how thoroughly he kept me connected. I love the way he was able to fight back cancer and start painting again
on the edge; as my parents would not be that happiest if I told them I wanted to be a poet and a photographer in Singapore.
