Check out these clips from Sir Stephen’s virtual visit to Hurlford Primary School.
Our pupils found the talk very inspirational and encouraged them to continue to work hard towards their goals.
“I found it interesting that Sir Stephen was just a little boy from Kilmarnock and managed to achieve so much including all of his goals and dreams. I have always wanted to be the aircraft engineer. He was speaking about not giving up and to keep trying. It really inspired me to keep trying to achieve my dreams.”
“It made me think that anything is possible!” “I was impressed that he was an ordinary boy and now he has been knighted by the Queen.” “When he spoke about how determined he was to become a part of the RAF, it made me want to be a part of the cabin crew.” “I found it interesting when he talked about the awards he got. It made me think that I’ll be able to achieve my goals when I’m older. I’d like to be an astronaut because I’ve always been interested in science and space. It made me think I should stay in school and study hard and focus on what I want to do in my life.”“I found it interesting how he got so far in life and he was born and raised here. It made me realise that you can do anything, if you work hard.”
