Career Talk

Hi there, today after morning tea we had 3 people come and talk to us about there careers. The thing that was quite funny was the fact that they we some how related to Mrs Tele'a. The people that came were Tanielu Tele'a, Fiona Bakulich, Jason Young. This is because we are learning about ourselves and family and our past present and future and in the future in we are going to have careers so that's what the 3 people talked about.

Jason Young is a builder, he is friends with Mr Tele'a. He came to Pt England quite a few years ago, he talked to us about following our passion and setting a goal but also trying out new things everyday. Jason told us that when he was at Point England and the school was so different and where he was standing now use to be a dental clinic. We asked him a few questions like about his life and things he faced during life.

The second person was Fiona Bakulich she is Mrs Tele'a's sister. They grew up and spent most of there lives in Mangere, they went to school there and lived there so that was there local community. For Fiona's career she decided to take up funeral directing like her parents. Fiona told us about how she used to help with bodies of loved ones and do things like that and learnt not to be scared and just doing it with love and respect for the families. Fiona told us that she finish college or university. She decided on becoming a funeral director because that's what her parent did and she didn't want her parents working to hard and to many hours so she did it for her family.

The last person to talk to us was Tanielu Tele'a, the son of Mrs Tele'a and also a blues player. Tanielu once came to Point England school he told us that he loved playing sport at lunch and doing work in class. We asked hime loads of questions about his career what he want to do in the future and how he felt about becoming a blues player. He also gave us advice to love our parents and take the advice they gives us.

After they were all done we said thank you and gave them a present and we moved off to our classes. Overall I had loads of fun and will definetly take this advice and try to see how I can do this in my everyday life. I am really thankful to her about other peoples experience and also the challenges they faced.
