The world does not revolve around you, so you should strive and stand up for your dreams2.Life is full of ups and downs.Do not expect things to always go your way. Sometimes life can be a rough journey but remain calm and persevere.3.Never say never.You stand a better chance to succeed if you are more positively minded. Never doubt yourself.4.Do not give up.It is not cool being a quitter, keep going, and push yourself to your very maximum limits.Praise for ‘Hydro – The Swimmer’★★★★★ "It is rare for someone of Chris's age to write with such commitment and such imaginative detail; where many children may have written a chapter or two and got bored and moved on, Chris has shown the determination and patience of his indefatigable lead character, Hydro.This is a tale of fortune, of circumstance and above all, a tale of making the most of each and every opportunity." Mr Kevin Shammas- Class Teacher at Catherine Wayte Primary School, Swindon, UK★★★★★ Chris, a young boy with a passion for writing and supporting others, is at the start of an exciting journey to become a published author and writer of renown. Kind, caring and considerate, Chris, and his first book, will serve as an inspiration to other young writers who may not yet have found the courage or time to put pen to paper and to share their hopes and dreams, ideas and creativity with the world. Having only known Chris for a short time, it has been a privilege and pleasure to have the opportunity to get to know him and to witness the passion he has for writing. Living life to the full – and certainly always on the go – the dedication that Chris has shown by investing the time necessary to turn his dream into a reality is commendable. Life is a wonderful thing, but we know can, at times, also be challenging, frightening, and overwhelming. Learning that things cannot always go our way and that life is full of ups and downs helps to build the resilience needed to help navigate life’s path. Having the determination and perseverance to never say never, to not give up and to have the courage to reach for the stars and strive to achieve our dreams are personal qualities I am sure will help to pave the road on the journey through life. I don’t know where life’s journey will finally take Chris but am confident that he is a young boy with the potential to travel far, explore widely and live fully.Success is not just what you accomplish in life but is about what you inspire others to do. In reading Chris’s inaugural book, I hope that you are inspired to achieve your dreams.Emma Brown-Headteacher Catherine Wayte Primary School, Swindon, UK
