'Virtual' visit from Olympian

By Grace Edwards, Year 9

On Thursday 30 July, aerial Olympic skier, Samantha Wells took the time out of her busy schedule to visit the Year 9 students of Waratah Campus (through a Zoom call).

Sharing her Olympic experiences and the challenges that came with them, Wells encouraged all of us to pursue our goals. She talked about her own strategy to overcome the obstacles and dilemmas she faced when chasing them.

Samantha Wells showed us that we too can achieve; with a structured goal and action plan ready to implement, we can be on our way too many successes.

The most relatable and memorable advice she shared was to take problems, little by little, step by step, whether it be as small as a test or as big as going to the Olympics. We can achieve anything! 

Thank you, Samantha, for talking to us.
