vAchievement can be anything big or small. Celebration is an event where you show your happiness at what you have achieved; for example, a bar or batmitzvah or having a small party with friends

Since I was young, I always struggled keeping up with my peers. I always had extra support in the class to help me with my studies. In 2017 I was told that I had 30 per cent hearing loss in both ears.

There were times with my hearing loss when I felt I wouldn’t manage to achieve much. Over the last couple of years, I have felt more confident and able to achieve in school.

I began this last academic year on a very low level in maths. Through a lot of work and support this year, I can say that I achieved something of which I am proud.

When I think back three or four years ago, I couldn’t imagine achieving well and I certainly couldn’t imagine talking to the whole school.

So, what I am trying to say to you is that if I can do it, then anyone can. It just takes a little help from teachers and most importantly carry on believing 
in yourself.
