Career Subjects

On the 29th of August 2018, Tamaki college had and Career Subject thing. I didn't know what to call it but it had different options and different displays for the year 10's to choose for when they enter year 11 the following year. At first, I wanted to choose Health and P.E but I changed my idea on health to Automotive. I changed my mind because I think that P.E is a little bit related to P.E. I picked P.E because it'll help me when I go into SAS. I thought of automotive because I think it'll be related to guns and it might help me if anything goes wrong with heavy army equipment. At first, I wanted to be a rugby player but realized that you'll need a lot of skills and training to compete with other skilled players in New Zealand or the world. I then thought of being an Electrical Engineer but it's related to maths and it's one of the subjects that I'm not good at. Then I chose the Army or Navy. If I couldn't get in the Army or Navy, I thought of being a Firefighter because I want to help people and save people but I'll have to deal with the stress which I am very good at. If I also can't do Firefighting, I'll do normal Engineering like fixing cars and making new things like making a new car.

First we had to cut the pastry into 9 pieces and make three more with the leftovers. Second we had to dice the the ham and put it back into the bowl so it can be ready when we need it. Then we put the small pastry into the muffin tray and flattened it to the bottom. We then put the diced ham on top of the pastry and then the cheese on top of the ham.
