WILL.I.am

Today we had a secret visitor at assembly. The whole school lined up and headed to the hall. I wondered who was coming. Our class entered the hall and I saw two big signs on each side of the stage with a Hallenstein brothers logo and I.AM Angel logo on both signs. There was big camera Tripods standing stiff in a row at the back of the hall  I wondered what both sign had to do with the visitor and I couldn't come up with up with anything.

Then Mr Burt came up and told us Will.I.am was the visitor we were surprised.  We practised what we had to because he was running late. We practised our school song again then we heard he was coming. Heaps of heads turned around trying to find him then, Will.I.am walked in with the Pt England prefects and some men in black tuxedos. He sat down on some chairs next to some other guys he came with. Our school said a big welcome to Will.I.am

We had Patrick and Vivienne start it off with some prayers. Then the Kapa Haka performed then followed the senior Hip Hop group both performances were very cool. Then Mr Burt went up and started talking about things. We also had some students from eight other Manaiakalani schools come and represent their school. Pat Snedden also had a talk then he passed the microphone over to Will.I.am. Will.I.am gifted the Manaiakalni schools $100.000.

He started to talk about he was brought up. He was born and raised in housing projects in a poor neighbourhood. His mother raised his brothers sisters and him all by herself. He had a dream to help his mother and music has helped him with that dream. He said to pick the right friends which will help you out. He said friends are the reason why he is where he is. TV crews were filming everything. He said that the world is advancing and the children in inner cities are left behind and are not given the tools to even compete with the future we are walking into.   I think that Will.I.am is very generous man donating money to the Manaiakalni schools in Auckland.
