How to be an Upstander

Today I am going to write about how to be an Upstander. What is an Upstander, you ask? An Upstander is about a person moving from being silent to taking action. Bystanders contribute to the problem. Upstanders stops the problem. So which one are you a Upstander or a Bystander?

Number one, Have courage to be an Upstander. It takes a lot of courage to be an Upstander. Upstanders are kids who prevent and stop the bullying they see, or comes to the aid of another kid who is being bullied by showing them kindness. Moving from being an Bystander to a Upstander doesn't just happen overnight, it takes time and it takes commit. It can start by becoming more aware of the bullying behaviour and how it affects the victim’s life. Upstanders are able to see the pain the victim is feeling and takes action.

What’s the difference between a Bystander and a Upstander? A bystander is someone that does not speak up or act to prevent problems from happening but contributes to it. But an Upstander takes action when they see something that is not right and takes charge by standing up to the problem.

How does being an upstander make a difference? When Upstanders speak out and their opinions are heard they will make a difference in their community’s and in the world. We all should be just like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela who made a change in the world by standing up and making their voices heard and not being scared to stand up for what they believe in.

So will you be a Upstander or a Bystander? I hoped you learned something from my writing on how to be an Upstander and making your voice and opinion heard.

Story of my Life (Cook Island language week)

“Come on Sheena come and join the Cook Island group with us” my friend
Mereana begged. My friends were trying to convince me to join the Cook
Island group to do a dance on Friday for Cook Island language week but I was
been very stubborn because I was scared I couldn’t shake my hips the right way.

Once the lunch time bell rang me and my friends all hurried to the creative
space where the Cook Island group were practising, and somehow my friends
managed to persuade me to join the Cook Island group. The teacher that would
be helping us prepare for the dance on Friday was no other then Mrs Langitupu.
The first dance that we were going to do was the Senior Girls dance followed
with the Group dance and to close off our item we would go out and pick a
student or teacher to dance freestyle with.

On Thursday the Cook Island group had to do a run-through on the stage but
unfortunately I had to go to a netball tournament so I couldn’t make it. After
we came back from the Netball tournament my friends informed me that all
we needed to do was bring a white t-shirt and a lavalava.

Friday finally arrived and I was excited but nervous at the same time. Once I
arrived at school I rushed to the creative space forgetting all about Prefects, all
I wanted was to get to the creative space to get ready. When I got there I quickly
got changed with my friends and hurried to the hall to do a quick run-through
before the real performance. I felt really weird because all the prefects were
watching which made me very uncomfortable, but I managed to push through
and just pretend there not there and continued dancing.

Once we finished performing our item I was feeling great inside because
I got to try a new cultural and it helped me build up my confidence.
