This is me.

Kia ora, my name is Saphron, I am 15 years old and I currently go to school at Bay of Islands College. I am a Maori born, with my family being from all around New Zealand.

I have good writing skills and computer skills. My favourite things to do are draw, go sightseeing, hiking, designing things and read both fiction and non-fiction. My goals are to get an endorsement in merit during school and have better attendance then my previous years.

My personal goals for life is to get my dream job (interior design and architecture), live content with my life (no regrets, live to the fullest, etc), travel the world (experience all seasons in each place) and just live a healthy life.

Know your car

I have finished my KNOW YOUR CAR booklet (unit standard 15408) and I've learnt more rules about road safety and car grooming.

Firstly, I didn't know that seagull dung had high enough acid to peel the paintwork off the vehicle well it was drying off.

Secondly, I learnt that the tyre tread had to be deeper then 1.5mm all around the circumference and that it's illegal to have it shallower then 1.5mm.

I did enjoy learning about cars and how to groom the cars exterior and interior, but i’m struggling with remembering the name of the car parts (the engine layout, braking system etc). I’m trying to find the best way that I could remember all of the names for each of the parts.
