Lisa: Today Jeremie came to school to tell us a bit about her story and what she has been through.
When Jeremie was in primary school she started biking and really enjoyed it as she grew up she started to do races for her school and she won lots of them. Jeremie started to train really hard and when she got into high school she was racing for New Zealand she did all types of biking; Mountain biking, Road cycling and Track cycling.
One day Jeremie was track cycling when she crashed and hit her head badly she lost her memory and found it hard to move her arms and legs, lucky she was wearing a helmet otherwise she would have died. She couldn’t go to school for a year and had to relearn everything. Ever since this happened she has had a constant headache for TWELVE YEARS.
Jeremie has leant how to be positive although her favourite thing was taken from her. She has had to take new paths. Now she does cycling at the gym on the bikes there because they don’t move. If she ever hits her head really hard there is a possibility that she could die. She is not to be on a screen for to long so she needed to find a job that doesn't include a screen and is now doing something that she loves as a gym teacher.
Charlie: Today we had a visitor. Her name is Jeremie and she taught us a story about a Growth Mindset and her story about how she represented New Zealand in cycling. She taught us about how a Growth Mindset can help us get through things. In her story she told us about her head injury and the struggle she went through for the last 12 years. She also teaches Nicola on one of those stationary bikes (RPM) you go on at Gyms. I found her story very interesting and I thought she was very brave. She also has some very good strategies that she used at times she needed them.
Marlon: Today Jeremie came over to the school. She came over to tell us her story. Her story was about a big brain injury that had happened to her because she fell off her bike. You have to remember that someone has something that you can’t see from the outside but it is still has on the inside. She started biking from college to the club then she got to race for New Zealand. Jeremie used grit, resilience and perseverance and took another path for 12 years but when she got better she started getting back on her bike. Amazingly she cycled the whole length of the South Island recently.
