Eagles Flight WorkshopEagles Flight Workshop was a workshop which is suppose to help us develop our team skills and leadership traits .The idea was that through an interactive board game where the objective was to gain as much gold as possible throughout the time limit . We were told to work as a class to get the best possible score but instead our class broke up into small groups and competed against each other to see who could get the most gold . This ultimately impacted our class score and this meant we did not do as well as we could . I think the overall message was that in group projects we should make sure that we are communicating and making sure that we are working together to take the best possible approach to a task. Student Enterpirse IrelandA guest speaker came in to us to speak about the possibilty of us developing a few of our business ideas into mini companies . She started her presentation by showing us examples of past winners of the competitions ideas such as headphone helpers to give us inspiration for our own ideas . She then set us a task in groups of four to think of as many ideas as could for the uses of paperclips . We came up with over fifteen ideas but my favourite one was the skipping rope . This was trying to get us thinking of an innovating idea and it really got me thinking of what I could possibily enter in the competition . Nutritional TherapistNutrition therapist today in school we had a discussion from a guest speaker on nutritional therapy she was nutritional therapist and her job in tales helping people who have certain problems such as IBS is diabetes and telling them how to fix a diet thing get the most out of their bodies . She began by talking to us about the food for me and also talking about prebiotic and post biotic feels we should being provided food I said such as vegetables broccoli kale very good for expanding your diet she then talked about certain things such as Comanche which is a natural health supplement I must say I've learnt a lot at a hearing about the stock it's really showed me how much we actually need vegetables specially after seeing the previous talk which is on the food fair in China we need up to 7 vegetables and fruit and day

She herself and figure this out after me entering the m modelling career and through this she found out about her vegetables in the certain fruits we eat affect us . I learnt a lot coming away from this especially when it comes to them times and people get stressed to speak great for me to know so I can help control my own anxiety over exams TiglinTiglin is a charity which helps homeless people and drug addicts in Dublin to get rid of their addictions and help them to become functional members of society again . They came in to our school to talk to us and for us to listen to people who were addicted to drugs and were living on the streets . Their stories were very moving and powerful and made me so grateful that I have never had to experience the hard times these people had to go through . It really makes you thinks and instead of just hearing about drug stories from a secondary source we got a first hand account on how hard it is to be homeless in dublin and what it is like to be addicted to heroin . Tiglin also gives out food and clothes to homeless people in a converted bus they use and it also is a chance for these peoples stories to be heard . Drugs TalkWe had a person come in to us to talk about illegal drugs in today's world . He was talking to us mostly about drugs that come in tablet and pill forms but also about how the drug landscape has changed in the past eighteen years . A lot seems to have changed in the last couple years when it came to drugs such as drugs becoming much and also more inconsistent . This talk was very eye opening to the world of drugs but also was very much of what i have heard a thousand times “ drugs are very and dangerous and unreliable”. Fire Department We had a talk from the head of a fire department in the dublin area . She was talking to us a lot about drinking and the dangers of it especially in dublin . She was talking about the dangers if drinking near the river liffey because you can fall in and drown or you can think that you can swim to the other end and end up never making it . She says that people are pulled out of the river all the time . She also talked about girls that have to be tested if they have been raped because they are passed out and found alone . It was a real eye opener to the dangers of drinking in the dublin area and overall was a good talk because of the uniqueness to it .
