Mr Mac
Ever felt like "wagging' school? Well our Duffy Role Model Mr Mac wagged school when he was thirteen years old, so when he got a test he said "I will only get twelve or fifteen out of a hundred". He had to drop out of school when he was fifiteen and started looking for a job. He found his perfect job. It was to drive huge bulldozers and diggers. He was having fun in his job when one day his arm got crushed. He spent a lot of time in the hospital. After being in hospital he started to find a new job. After years of trying to find a job Mr Mac said to himself "I want to write a book". But he had to go back to school because he didn't know his alphabet. Then he told us the process of writing a book. After showing us his final product he said "If you are afraid of people laughing at your work, have a laugh and try again". Meeting Mr Mac has inspired me to work hard in school and to believe in myself!
