Duffy Role Model Assembly

 LI: To understand that there is always an opprtinity to make a bad situation good.


Today Marc Duffy came to our school for our duffy role model assembly, to tell us about how reading can change the whole scene. The story started off with a little boy named fred, he had a very hard child hood growing up, as he was bullied for not knowing how to read properly.

Six years from then his parents moved him to another school due to the fact that he was bullied from not knowing how to read, as he kept keeting bulied he was moved to another school. As he was getting older he started to hang out with the wrong crowd. Due to haning with the wrong crown he was sentence to prison for borrowing cars without returing them, he was in prison for four years. 

In prison their was only one teacher, and that one teacher took fred under his wing and taught him how to read. Day and day went on as freds teacher taught him how to read. After being relesed from prison we went on search of finding a job. It was very challenging for him to find a job as he had a criminal record.

He found a job at bunnings and worked his way up until he could start his own journey. He started his own bussniss called Duffy Books in Homes. He lets childred and adults have the oppritunity to read whenever they want. At the end of the story he revealed that the little boy named fred was marc himself. Marcs story proves that reading can make a chang in your life and their is always and opprtinity for people to take.

I found this assembly very true because despite having a hard child hood their is always an opprtinity for you to take and create a better life for yourself just like marc did.
