Pass It On

For the past few weeks Room 12 has been researching about our past through our Parents, Grand parents and if possible Great, Grand parents.

You may or may not know this... many Elders have very interesting stories, facts and they can also help to reveal more of the family tree to people which are very famous or, to awesome people you would have never seen or heard of!

Currently we have been hearing the fascinating stories about how our Grandpa's survived World War 2 or how our Grandma's helped a Classic rock super star.

Here is Lance's Pass It On Story.


My Dad’s lucky escape
One day in the Philippines my Dad was going to his friend’s house (whose neighbor had a big black dog) what my Dad didn't know was that this dog was known for running out and viciously attacking people.

My dad was approaching his friend’s house when the dog spotted him. The Dog stared at him and didn't move until my Dad made eye contact. As soon as my Dad made eye contact the dog started barking ferociously and ran straight at my Dad. Luckily my Dad spotted a tree in the distance. He ran as fast as he could and climbed up the tree as the dog was about to reach him.


After 5-10 minutes (which seemed like an eternity to him) the people who owned the dog took it back and eventually put it on a chain. In the end my Dad still got to see his friend. My Dad was so rattled after that experience.


Thanks for Reading!!!
