Super Business Girl
Sampson Cunningham
October 29, 2017
Asia Newson starts each weekday very
early in the morning. First, the 14-year-old
helps her sister get ready for school. Then
she eats breakfast and hops on a school
bus in Detroit, Michigan, her hometown.
After school, Asia stays for dance or choir
practice. But the action really begins when
she gets home. Every day, Asia transforms
herself into Super Girl. She is the CEO of
her own company, which sells homemade
candles. Asia started it when she was just
5 years old. After appearing on The Ellen
DeGeneres Show in 2015, Asia’s sales
grew astronomically.
Her financial goal this year is to make
$100,000 with her handmade products. She
sets goals to help herself become a better business owner. But she also
wants to empower other kids. “If I teach other children in my community
how to make their own money, it will help them in the long run.”

opgave 3Tekst 3 Sergeant Fuzz
Sergeant Fuzz
1 Late last year, Officer Kathryn Smith of the St. Paul Police Department
was called out to a local farm, because a stray mother dog and her
puppies had been hanging around the property for a few days, scaring the
farm animals. She went out to the scene to take them away, and ended up
adopting one of the puppies, later named sergeant Fuzz, in the process.
2 “He was an instant hit with everyone,” she says. Since she and her
colleagues often deal with high-stress situations on the job, they find that
visits from 5-month-old Fuzz give them a small break to focus on
something happy. The department decided to hire Fuzz as its ‘cuddle
officer’, working part-time at about 10 hours a week while his owner is
there. He spends his days greeting staff members, playing ball and, of
course, cuddling.
3 Because of his calm and sweet nature, the department has enrolled Fuzz
in a therapy dog certification program so he can help even more people.
“He is doing great! One day, when he is a certified therapy dog, he can
not only help our staff, but also people who are victims of violence and are
in need of support,” Smith said.

opgave 4Tekst 4 Cow Girl
Cow Girl
1 When Hannah Simpson’s parents told her
they couldn’t afford a horse, she chose to ride
a cow. “I wanted a horse, and I couldn’t have
one,” the 18-year-old from Invercargill, New
Zealand, said. Hannah’s younger brother,
Tim, suggested she should try riding Lilac, a
6-month-old calf on the family’s farm. “We just
jumped on and away we went. There was no
training. And she’s got better the more I rode
her,” Hannah said.
2 That was 6½ years ago. Now Hannah and
Lilac ride together regularly, and the cow
even jumps over logs 3 feet high. Hannah rides Lilac bareback, but that’s
fine with her. “Lilac is quite fat right now, so, yes, she is more comfortable
than my horse anyway,” Hannah told The Huffington Post. Hannah has to
make other adjustments for her friend. “She is a cow, and I can’t expect
her to ride like a horse. Without a bit of encouragement she wouldn’t
really do anything, she has a very chilled-out nature,” she says.
3 However, jumping has never been an issue. Hannah laughs as she
remembers that Lilac was always jumping in the cow shed when she was
young. “So I think she likes it, too. We started her off with stepping over
logs, and it just got bigger and bigger,” she said. Lilac is definitely a multi-
tasker. When she’s not riding with Hannah, she provides milk for the
family and last year gave birth to twins. Hannah said she had tried to ride
a few other cows, but apart from one they’d all thrown her off.
4 Hannah and Lilac are now attracting worldwide attention thanks to her
Instagram posts, but she doesn’t plan to milk it by putting Lilac in horse
shows. “I don’t think she would behave if we took her away from her
home. And I don’t need to compete. She is more special than a horse,
more rare,” she says. She hopes that her rides with Lilac do send a
message to the world. “I just think it’s awesome that people can see how
cool cows can be,” Hannah says. “And, also, you just have to give things
a go and see what happens.”

opgave 5Tekst 5 My school does not have walls

My school does not have walls 1 Meet Réka Kaponay – the Aussie teen who left behind her ordinary life back in Melbourne at the age of ten in exchange for something a little more unusual. During her travels the 13-year-old has visited 23 countries and has become fluent in three languages. Réka’s journey began three years ago with her twin brother Lalika and parents George and Bobi, as they set off for what they initially was a short trip to the US. But the family, currently based in Spain, have returned to Australia since they left. have no intention of coming back time soon. ‘So far every single country been to has given me a positive experience,’ Réka told Daily Mail Australia . 2 Réka, who is being home-schooled by her parents and speaks fluent English, Spanish and Hungarian, says she’s been taught lessons in life that she would have never learned in a classroom. ‘I do go to school – it just doesn’t have four walls,’ she said. ‘The experience I’m having now, I don’t think I can learn about it in a classroom. You would read about the kind of experiences I’m having in a book. But really, it is just so much more different to experience it all in real life.’ 3 As part of their apparently endless journey, Réka and her family have vacationed at a long list of countries. But Réka says her most memorable experience so far would be the five days she spent living in the village of Choa Choa located in the high mountains of Peru – one of the most far- away places on the planet. ‘The people and the way in which they welcomed us was really inspiring. It’s the simple way they live – without electricity, TV or the Internet and yet, they had something a great deal more valuable. This is a place that makes you aware that you have to work together and not compete. This is the best lesson I have learned and it is something I am looking to develop in my travels – how we can share and all benefit from the experience.’ 4 However, Réka does admit there is a downside to her chosen lifestyle. ‘The journey I’ve had so far wouldn’t be what it is without the people I’ve met along the way,’ she said. ‘When you have to leave behind the new friends you’ve made and say goodbye to them. That’s really hard. But of

Run, Quentin, run 1 Quentin Valentine set a challenge in Canberra in 1982 with his brother and a friend to see who could run a minimum of 5km a day, every day, until just one man was left running. His brother ran every day for a year and his friend even ran every day for three years, but Mr Valentine kept running for 36 years and six days, covering the distance around the world more than three times for no other reason than to test his strength of will. “People think I’m addicted but I wasn’t, I didn’t particularly like it,” Mr Valentine said. “I had this streak going, so I thought I’ll keep doing it until I can’t.” 2 It wasn’t all medals and crossing finishing lines. Through thunder and hail, at 2am before a flight, and through sore muscles, Mr Valentine ran every single day. One morning, it was a blistering 49 degrees Celsius but he ran anyway. His foot swelled up so much he couldn’t fit it into his shoe the next day. Instead of taking a day off, Mr Valentine cut holes into the sides of the shoe to widen them and used improvised shoelaces to fasten them to his foot. 3 While many runners spend hundreds of dollars a year on the latest wearable technology to track everything from sleep and steps, to energy used and heart rate, Mr Valentine didn’t use technology. “I always time my races with a watch but that’s it,” he said. He wears shorts and T-shirt, but no belt with water bottle or special running outfit. For all the distant trails he’s run on, the 68-year-old’s favourite place to pound the pavement is the back streets of Essendon, Victoria. “In the end it was just to get the thing done. I didn’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about where I was running,” he said. 4 One morning, Mr Valentine started getting a knee pain that was too intense to walk through, let alone run through. Then, barely a few metres from his house, he hobbled home unable to run. “I thought I’d wait and see how it felt in the afternoon,” he said. But it was no better, so Mr Valentine decided at the age of almost 70, it was time for the challenge to end. Once the knee heals though, it’s time to start exercising again. “I think I’ll just do something regular to keep my fitness levels up. No extreme challenges.” bewerking van www.heraldsun.com.au

opgave 7Tekst 7 What does it take to become a Trapeze Artist?
What does it take to become a Trapeze Artist?
Think you have what it takes to be an acrobat or
trapeze artist? To find out some of the ins and outs of
becoming a circus performer, we spoke with Pauliina
Rasanen, a trapeze artist with Cirque du Soleil.
1 What does a day at work look like?
I perform at night, so I like to sleep in. In the morning
I practise on stage for 45 minutes. I perform my
trapeze act once or twice a day, nine or 10 times
every week. Before each show, I put on my make-up
and sparkly costume, and warm up for half an hour,
doing handstands and abdominal push-ups. I have to
do a lot of strength and flexibility exercises. After the
show, I practise again for at least another half an hour. That’s when my
muscles are warmest, so I can push my body even harder.
2 Why do you love your job?
It’s like dreaming of flying. When you do a great performance on the
trapeze and everything goes well, it’s such an incredible feeling – and you
try to project that feeling to the audience. So it’s a physical challenge, but
it’s also an art. You’re expressing yourself through the way you move.
3 What’s tough about it?
Working at such a high level every day. Sometimes you wake up with a
pain in your tummy, but you still have to perform. I have cramps in my
hands from holding on to the trapeze bar, but that doesn’t bother me as
much as my sore muscles. I like to have a massage once a week.
4 What skills do you need to be a trapeze artist?
You’ve got to be talented, but also have the strength to cope with the
intense physical training. Physically, you need to keep a light body weight,
so if you’re performing with a partner, they can catch you easily. You can’t
be at all nervous – when there are 5,000 people watching you, you need
to keep your cool. And you’ve got to be adaptable, because we change
cities about once every six weeks.
5 What would you say to someone who wanted to become a trapeze
artist?
I’d say first of all that it’s not magic – it’s work. You have to work
extremely hard, but if you have the physical capacity and talent, you
should follow your dreams. I’m originally from Finland, where I did
gymnastics and ballet as a child, before joining a youth circus at 14. Then
I moved to Canada to study at the National Circus School of Montreal for
three years. Cirque du Soleil saw my final performance at circus school,
but they also recruit acrobats from gymnastic competitions.
6 What’s the salary and career path like?
We get paid per show, and the amount depends on how you’ve negotiated
your contract. I’ve only met two trapeze artists in their late thirties or early
forties. There aren’t many older than 30 so you need to think ahead. If
you’ve done a range of theatrical, dance and acrobatic training, it’ll be
easier to try a different direction in your career. You could choreograph
your own show, or teach. I plan to set up my own act in Finland with my
boyfriend, a Russian acrobat.

Precious by name, precious by nature
Brian Snyder
1 Precious Perez seems your typical teenager. She attends Chelsea High
School where she walks in hallways with hundreds of fellow students to
travel from class to class. But Precious is actually not like many of her
peers. She has been blind since birth. In subject after subject, Precious
adapts visual lessons to her own needs. She listens as the rest of her
Spanish class watches a movie in that language; she relies on the history
teacher to read out the notes he writes on the board; she works with her
lab-mates in chemistry class as they observe a liquid coming to a boil.
2 During the week, Precious trains with her goalball team. The game, a
team sport for players who are blind, involves a three-pound rubber ball
with bells inside it that the athletes attempt to throw, bounce or roll past
their opponents. Using the sounds of the bells to judge the position and
movement of the ball, competitors try to block it from getting past them.
Pads, especially on the elbows and knees, protect the players as they
dive after the ball.
3 Precious has accomplished an impressive amount for a teenager. She is
one of just 10 students in the local Handel and Haydn Society, an
organization that specializes in Classical music. The 18-year-old has also
written more than 100 songs of her own. Precious also designed her own
gown for her recent High School graduation dance. Of course, she could
not see her dress which she describes as “kind of like a more toned-down
version of a Disney princess dress.” As for many teens, the formal dance
is a rite of passage before heading off to college. Precious is going to
attend Boston’s Berkeley College of Music, where she will study vocal
performance.

A Museum Dedicated To Disgusting Food Is Opening In Sweden
1 The owner of Sweden’s new Disgusting Food Museum, Samuel West,
said he wants visitors to think about what makes some foods less
appetizing than others. The museum, which is scheduled to open Oct. 29
in Malmö, aims to assault the senses with various smelly and strange
foods including fermented shark meat, bird’s nest soup, ant larvae,
roasted guinea pig and maggot cheese. “I want people to question what
they find disgusting and realize that disgust is always in the eye of the
beholder,” museum founder Samuel West told The Washington Post. “We
usually find things we’re not familiar with disgusting, and things that we
grow up with and are familiar with not disgusting, regardless of what they
are.”
2 West, who also founded Sweden’s Museum of Failure, said the museum
aims to have foods representing a variety of world cultures, so visitors
might be surprised to find some foods they consider normal represented
as ‘disgusting’. “We try to treat everybody the same, and that’s what
I thought was interesting when we were working on it – directing that lens
back toward us,” West said. He said he hopes people will consider what
makes a food ‘disgusting’ and how such prejudices are created. “Is it
really that disgusting to eat a grasshopper or locust when you eat bacon?
Or is it really disgusting to eat guinea pigs when you eat beef regularly?”
West said.

“SIT WITH US”
Natalie Hampton
1 Being excluded at school is a terrible feeling, but trying
to find an open table at lunch can make you feel even
worse. Thankfully, there’s a reason to stop worrying
about the lunch time loneliness and forget about the
days of sitting by yourself. California teen Natalie
Hampton is working to make those lonely feelings a
thing of the past with “Sit With Us”, an app that provides
a discrete way for students to find a place to sit during
lunch time. Download the app to your phone, and start
connecting with new people in your school now. Plus,
hear more about the app and Natalie’s inspiration below!
way to go in your mission to prevent bullying?
Natalie Hampton (NH): Kids my age always have their phones in their
hands, and we always love to try the latest app. I thought an app would be
the best way to bring kids together in a discrete and private way. Sit With
Us essentially lets you know where there is an open invitation to sit at
lunch.
NH: For me, this was a small project that I intended to roll
out at my school and perhaps a few other schools where
I have friends. It is amazing to me that it has gone viral
and is being downloaded not just in the US, but in many
other countries. Creating the app has definitely given me
more confidence because I took a negative, traumatic
experience and turned it into a positive one. I know that
I want to pursue a career where I can help ease the
suffering of others (such as becoming a doctor) and now
I’m more confident that I can do that.
now would be different overall if you had had access to the app?
NH: In middle school, I only knew the people who were in my class and
who were not friendly at all. If I had had the app, I think I could have
connected and made friends with a handful of nice girls in my school. All
I really wanted was to connect with just one person. Sitting alone branded
me as a prime target for bullying.
make you feel?
NH: We get so many messages from people who love using the app.
I also walk across my school campus and see people connecting with new
friends through Sit With Us, having smiles on their faces. It is not just the
kids who are finding a table – I also hear from Sit With Us ambassadors
who feel great about taking an active role in spreading kindness in their
school communities. It definitely makes me feel that all of my time and
effort in creating the app have been worth it. I believe that student-led
initiatives are far more effective in decreasing bullying and studies have
shown that is the case. Basically, I want everyone to know that it’s cool to
be kind, and that spreading kindness makes you feel good.

Daarmee kun je mensen vinden waar je bij kunt zitten.

Daarmee kun je scholieren vinden met dezelfde interesses.

Daarmee kun je snel zien waar je vrienden zijn.

Natalie Hampton? (alinea 2)

omdat tieners toch de hele dag hun telefoon gebruiken

Ze heeft geld verdiend om te kunnen studeren.

Ze heeft meer zelfvertrouwen gekregen.

Ze heeft nieuwe vrienden gemaakt.

waren.

Ze heeft de resultaten van een onderzoek naar de app gezien.

Ze heeft gehoord dat leerlingen een vergelijkbare app willen
ontwikkelen.

Ze heeft op haar school gezien dat leerlingen elkaar leren kennen via

Ryan’s ToysReview
Ryan, the star of Ryan’s ToysReview, has just been named one of this
year’s world’s highest-paid YouTube stars. Ryan, whose surname is
unknown, makes more than $14.6 million – just by opening the toy’s box
and then reviewing his new toys. His channel was launched in March
2015 when Ryan was three and it now has more than 10 million followers.
Ryan’s mother Loann quit her job as a high school science teacher to
work on the channel full-time and it’s a move that’s paid off. Ryan’s
mother explained how the phenomenon started. “Ryan was watching a lot
of toy review channels,” she said. “One day, he asked me, ‘How come I’m
not on YouTube when all the other kids are? I want to be on YouTube
too!’ So we just thought we would let him try it – yeah, you can do that.
Then, we took him to the store to get his very first toy, I think it was a
Lego train set, and it all started from there.” Ryan’s channel took off after
a video of him reviewing a Giant Egg Surprise went viral. Since then, he
has posted daily reviews of new toys. Loann and husband Sean are
putting the YouTube earnings into a college savings account for Ryan and
a trust fund for him and his twin sisters, Emma and Kate. While the family
have struck gold with the channel, his father decided to keep his job as a
structural engineer. Sean and Loann say the family will only continue
making the videos until Ryan gets bored with them.
