You are so very valuable - Kilgraston assembly
We were treated to a wonderful assembly this morning by Mr Allaker, the Kilgraston chaplain. Discussing the subject of value, he shared some interesting examples. These included: a tub of Justin Bieber’s hair which sold for £25, 024; Pharrell Williams’ brown fedora hat which sold for £26,444; and the cost of Princess Beatrice’s hat worn to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton which cost £81,100.
What value do we each place on these items, asked Mr Allaker? It depends on how important it is to you and how much you are willing to pay for something.
Looking at our own sense of value, Mr Allaker talked to the school about how it can be easy to let other people influence your own value. Citing Merle Streep’s unsuccessful audition for the film King Kong when she was told, “she wasn’t pretty enough”, Mr Allaker discussed how we all face challenges of people trying to influence us, to pull us down and how we can rise above this and to never forget that we are all valuable and there is no-one like you.
Thank you Mr Allaker for a thought provoking assembly.
