Valerie Adams Inspires Me
The
person who inspires me is Valerie Adams.
Valerie Adams won 3 world titles, 2 gold medals at the Commonwealth Games and an Olympic gold medal. She had done all this by the age of 26.
She was born in Rotorua, New Zealand. A Tongan mother (Lilika Ngauamo) and an English father (Sydney Adams). She had an athletic build and was exceptionally strong and tall.
At the 2006 Commonwealth Games 1.96 tall, she won a gold medal. She finished the year ranked Number 2 in the world and won the halberg Awards as sportsman of the year.
From 2007-2009 she was the number 1 shot-putter in the world. In 2007, 2008, and 2009 she won the world title. She was a winner of the Olympic gold medal in Beijing in 2008.
I wish that I could become like her one day. In the future I would compete in discus and shot-put at a championship level.

“When Is It The Right Time To Swear?”
Residents in a small town outside, Boston, U.S. decided to ban swearing. This would help teens, They considered on giving fines $20 U.S. They would give the fine for profanity in public.
We all know that swearing is not good for little kids. The right time to swear is when we get really angry, and our temperature gets really high and then it spits out with profanity.

Solar Powered Plane
A solar-powered plane flew from Switzerland to Morocco, countries that are 2000 km apart. This event happened on the 24th of May, 2012.
‘Solar Impulse’, a company, built the plane with their engineers. The plane was flown by two pilots - Andre Borschberg and Bertrand Picard.
The machine’s wings were covered in solar panels. The panels use the sun’s rays to create electricity to power the plane’s propellers,
This was a record, because it was the first plane to fly with no fuel this distance and including at night.
I wish that I could fly one in the future!
