What did the students think about the Living Books?
The book we borrowed was terrific and was about tech and management. The first one was someone who originally had no money and became an accountant. He failed as an accountant, but his boss told him that he was good as an observer and told him to work for companies that needed saving. The second living book was someone who had left year 10 because he found it easy. He found computers fascinating and decided to work with them. He has a company now. He worked in the internet industry and talked to us about being a team leader and what the challenges were in that. The living book was very helpful as he helped me realised that technology is very important and useful. He was explaining how he made it to the top and all the steps you needed. He was very good. The most enjoyable thing that he stated was that he related to what we were learning in class at that time and that helped me understand why technology Is important In that subject that we were learning about (science). His type of job because I wanna do the same thing. I enjoyed that it’s took him like 10 years before he got a job and stuck with it. Learning what we can do when we are older. I enjoyed how nice and detailed he was. Also I liked his fascination with computers. It was nice to hear from a real life experience. They had very compelling stories about what happened to them when they were younger and gave the message of saying that anything is possible. That we learnt how their lives went and what they did wrong and right and to use that to benefit our lives. They were enthusiastic, relevant and interesting. The life lessons and how they brought us into their stories. I enjoyed how they answered questions and interacted with the students. They were awesome. The chance to hear something different and not always know what’s going to happen. Hearing their life story and how they overcame their setbacks He seemed really passionate about his job and told us some really good facts and truths about life. The involvement and lessons they had brought along with their stories. Listening to the way their lives had turned out. Feedback from the students was that they would like to have even more Living Books next time. We extend our sincere thanks to the wonderful people who gave up their time to visit our school and be borrowed out to classes.
