Jake Bailey Speech
Jake Bailey Speech
On Wednesday the 31st of July Jake Bailey came to Karoro School. He came to our school today to talk about his fight with cancer, about bravery, happiness, resilience, leadership and long life skills.
Jake Bailey was talking about how in his last year of high school he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Jake told us that we should have resilience and you shouldn’t worry about what other people are thinking about you, other life skills he told us about was to be brave and keep moving forward even if you are feeling scared inside. He said we have a responsibility to live our lives and take every opportunity, give our very best to be the best person we can.
I thought Jake Bailey was very inspirational.

their rights in Pakistan and how Malala stood up for women's rights to have the
freedom that they needed.
Malala Yousafzai is a girl who was born with talent. Malala and other women in
Pakistan weren’t allowed to have freedom, but Malala stood up for her rights
and kept doing what she loved. Women weren’t allowed to go into town without a
male. Malala thought that was wrong. Women weren’t allowed to go to school.
Malala’s father, (Ziauddin Yousafzai) set up a school for girls, there were
only two rooms in that school. Malala’s Mother (Tor Pekai) couldn’t read or write
because of the way that they were treated.

Malala has been an inspiration to people all over the world to make peace. Malala
visited Nigeria where over 200 women had been kidnapped and sold for slaves.
She met with the parents of the kidnapped girls and she tried to persuade the
Nigerian President to raise enough money so that the parents can go see their
girls that have escaped. Eventually he decided to do it and they got to go see
their kids. I feel very sad that there are still Nigerian Women being used as slaves.

Personally this book is my favourite one yet. It’s a really good inspiration to
people and I think people all over the world should read it. For me I think the a
ge group for people to read is 10+.
