If life gives you lemons make lemonade
if you don't like the flavor then give it away
the smile you will receive will lighten your mood
kindness is a zippy weightlessness,
like walking on the moon!
to the left, we have a picture of the Apollo 12 mission. and above a picture of the moon, you can really see the craters here!

Kia Ora Alexandra,
ReplyDeleteWow Alexandra, you’ve written an incredible poem. Have you ever considered becoming a poet? You have quite a way with words. I also like how you’ve dispersed the text with images to break it apart and appeal to your readers. I particularly appreciate your explanation of what is happening in the pictures! You have done a stellar job.
Wouldn’t it be cool to be on the moon and weightless? I’ve always wanted to experience zero-gravity, it’s actually on my bucket list. Nowadays you can even go in a plane and experience true weightlessness. They do this by flying the plane up and down in the sky super fast, almost in a zig-zag formation. The sharp turns mean you float in the plane because gravity can’t pull you down to the floor. I think it would be an incredible experience, a bit like flying. What are some things you would like to experience? I would also like to go to space and travel to England.
Perhaps next time when you link a photo credit, you could do so in a hyperlink. This would make the link a little bit neater for your blog. Follow these easy steps to create a hyperlink yourself..

hi Shannon
ReplyDeletei don't really want to be a poet when i grow up a would absolutely love to be a paramedic i think that it would be such a rewarding and amazing courier! That is so amazing how humans can now feel weightlessness without having to make a big commitment being an astronaut i would love to do that someday, I would imagine it would feel very calm and peaceful. i would also love to experience weightlessness, a really big zip-line/ropes course and teaching first aid.

Kia Ora Alex,
DeleteA paramedic is an amazing career! It would be so rewarding. That explains how you became a St John’s cadet (from your previous post). How cool that you get to experience what that line of work entails. You must be incredibly driven and motivated.
I agree, becoming an astronaut involves a lot of hard work, so it’s cool that there is another way to experience zero-gravity without having to leave the Earth’s gravitational orbit. When I was little I wanted to be an astronaut, but I was a bit scared of the machines that test you in different g-forces. They put you in a seat, strap you in, and spin you really fast. I’m not a big fan of spinning so I wasn’t sure I’d like that part. I do think it would be marvellous and otherworldly to see the earth from space though. Imagine taking a photo, you’d be the only human in existence not in that picture. How cool is that.
Zip-lines and rope courses are so cool. I did an amazing one in Australia a few years back and it ended with a super long flying fox. I love adventure courses like those, they’re both fun and adrenaline filled. Definitely something I need to do more of!
Perhaps you could assist in some first aid training courses. I imagine you’ve done a few of them. What are some of the things you have learnt in them?
