About me

Bio

I am Simon. I am 14 and I love to play video games that have a mix of puzzles and action. I am an Canadian-born Australian who has recently returned from Australia. I enjoy both physically and intellectually challenging myself. I have been involved in scouts for eight years. I am fond of the social aspect as well as the involvement of nature. I have a brown belt in karate.

Picture

Steve Irwin is the famous “Crocodile Hunter”. He started from nothing and it inspires me to try my best

The Raptors Ridge is a sanctuary for injured birds of prey. They offer walks with the birds for people to see that they aren’t nasty creatures. It is my favorite website because I love animals and being in natural environments.

Quote

If they kill you, walk it off.

(Captain America – Avengers: Age of Ultron)

The quote shows resilience by saying that anything that can be done to you, you can fight it off and fight back against it, whatever it may be.

Video

Steve Irwin in this clip shows that even if you are in a dangerous situation you can recover all while keeping calm. If he had freaked out he would’ve lost his dignity for one, and two he would’ve freaked the snake out more and made it keep biting for longer and longer. By keeping his calm he made sure everyone around him stayed safe while he stayed calm
