    I would describe Neil with resilience because he wanted to be good at something and everyone laughed at him but he still thought he could do it if he tried.He was also honest because he didn’t want to say what he wanted to be when he grew up but he decided to tell the truth.He is also a person to look up to because he is an inspiration for sports

    In the report it mentions the teacher Graham (Mr Frankish). It suggests about Graham that he was very inspirational because he helped Neil Back so much and helped him become the person he is today. In the text Neil Back showed perseverance because when he was a child he said his dreams and they all became true which means that he never gave up,he also showed respect to his teacher and coach,he was honest as well because when he was asked what he wanted to do when he was older he told the truth even though his classmates laughed at him.

    Neil Back was resilient because he never gave up and he always kept on trying his best. All the other kids was underestimating him. And this reflects on the Broad Heath value because Graham always supports the children to be what they want in life and he always accepted there opinion. No matter how hard it takes he kept on trying.
