Sunday 5 January 2014

Hi, there blog viewers. 

On the first of January this year my parents said they had something to talk about. This was a bit worrying for me as when they want to "talk" it was usually because they'd found out about something I've done wrong.

They said to me that I was 13 - which was a bit obvious to them because they're my parents - but they followed it up by saying that it was going to be a big year in 2014 for me because I take my options and then get ready to start work on my GCSE exams. 

Then my Mum handed me an envelope in which there were 2 more tiny envelopes and a card.  The card said that because it was a big year for me my parents were setting me 12 challenges (one for each month of 2014) - plus an extra one to make my age - 13.

On the tiny envelopes were numbers.  I found number ONE and opened it - it told me I had until 06:01:14 to complete a blog on what was in my tiny envelopes. Then I opened envelope TWO which contained my first challenge of 2014.

My first challenge is to think of 13 people who inspire  me and write to them to ask for there life advice so here is the list.  I will let you know on this blog what happens
  1. My Mum and Dad
  2. Nicola Adams, Olympic boxer
  3. Steven Gerrard, footballer
  4. Duncan Banatine, multi millionaire
  5. Hannah Cockroft, paralympian 
  6. Barack Obama, President of the USA
  7. Ed Milliband, Leader of the Labour Party 
  8. Tony Pontefract, the Bishop of Pontefract 
  9. Martin Freeman, actor
  10. Benedict Cumberbatch,  actor
  11. Richard Armitage,  actor
  12. Richard Branson, business inventor of Virgin
  13. Jessica Ennis, Olympic gold medal winner 
What do you think of the list and have you got any thoughts on what to put in the letters - if so let me know in comments below.
