Captain Tom Moore, an inspiration!

The Coronavirus has affected everyones lives in the UK, sadly a lot of people have lost their lives. But many lives have been saved by the heroic effort of the doctors and nurses in the NHS. Another person that has shown a heroic effort is Captain Tom Moore, the courageous 99 year old WWII veteran wanted to raise £1000 for the NHS before his 100th birthday. He challenged himself to walk 100 laps of his home in Bedfordshire. Little did he realise that his efforts would go on to raise a staggering £33 million. His amazing challenge has raised awareness and inspired people all over the world to take up a challenge for themselves. I have thought about challenging myself after the lockdown ends and i’m going to climb Mount Snowden in Wales.

This is me!

My Talents
I have a number of talents which require different skills. Ever since I was five years old I’ve been learning a martial art called Taekwondo, at first I found it quite difficult but through hard work, training and perseverance I’ve got better. When a pupil first starts Taekwondo they are given a white belt, this signifies that they are a beginner on there journey to gaining a black belt. My journey to achieving a black belt has been successful so far as I have a green belt blue tag (that’s over half way there). Another talent that I really enjoy is swimming. Since I was a baby my Mum and Dad would always take me to the pool. When I go swimming and i’m in the water I imagine swimming in the gigantic ocean. The best thing about swimming is when we get to practice diving because I really love touching the bottom of the pool.

My Loves and Passions
I have many loves and passions, I particularly love to run. Before the Coronavirus happened I would often run on Saturdays in the local ParkRun at Hinchingbrooke Park or the junior Park Run on Sundays. Both are really enjoyable and overall I have completed a marathon (that’s 26 miles!). Even though I can’t run in Park Run at the moment I still go running with my Dad but he’s not as fast as me. Another thing that I really love is pizza, when I’m eating pizza the cheese melts in my mouth and tastes like heaven. I’m really excited about going out for pizza when the lockdown ends. My third passion is competing at Taekwondo competitions. The last competition I went to was in Hatfield, I was quite nervous because there where over 400 children competing. Even though I didn’t win a medal I felt happy because some of my friends did.

My Aspirations
There are many hopes and goals that I have for the future, one of my hopes is that I’m still friends with all of my friends even when we start our new life at secondary school. My goal is to do well in school and achieve the best exam results I can. If my exams are a success this will help me to achieve my next goal to become a policeman. I really like the idea of being in the Police Force because it means I can help people and arrest criminals. Another goal of mine is to become a games developer and make an adventure game, I know this would be a big challenge but it would be worth it to create a game that everybody loved playing.
