What’s special about my everyday life

The special thing about my everyday life is having my family and friends around me, the ones who love me most, even when I go I have my friends to help me every step of the way.

Sometimes my friends and I fight over things but at the end of the day we are best friends. My friends names are Jasmin, Teuira, Rachel and Nii. I know I can trust them with secrets. I can tell them what I think or how I feel and they do the same.

And when I go home my Mum, Dad, sister and brother are there. I can count on them too because they love me.

A person who is important to me or my village

The only person important to me is my family. Because without my family I wouldn’t be here by now or in this village. And I wouldn’t be writing to you all. And about my village, I love my village.

My friends are in this village and my family. I like this village because everyone is so nice. And my friends they are important.

I like swimming with my friends and family and with my village. Puaikura aro kit e rangi. That’s the only important thing in my life.

How was I involved in Te Maeva Nui

On Wednesday night me and my Mum went to the Te Maeva Nui. We went and watch the mighty Puaikura and watch their performance. They were performing their Kapa Rima. It was such a good night, we enjoyed it cause I saw one of my best friends in the boys section. The Puaikura was the cool as performance that night. Then after that we went outside and take a photo at the Island Booth, me, Hinare, and Dimonta. After that we went back home.

And then on Friday we went to the auditorium. It was cool cause they dance to their drum dance, so that’s how I got involved with Te Maeva Nui.

A person who is important to me or my village

My family is so important to me because they look after me and when I’m older I will be able to look after them, so they are important to me.

The people in my village is so important to me except that ones I don’t like, like the people I don’t know and they can’t be important to me if I don’t know them, so that’s why.

My Mum is important to me because she take me out to different places I like to go, and when we go to town we go and buy food, drink and stuff we want, and she takes me to New Zealand to see my brothers. And my sister and brothers are important to me too. They sometimes buy me lollies and chocolate and we go swimming in the pool. I love my Mum, Dad, sister and brothers.

What is special about my everyday life

The special things in my everyday life is seeing my family and having friends who care about me, and having a family who cares so much that they spoil me.

The special things in my life are knowing that people care so much, and knowing that they are there for me. And having handsome brother and a lovely and beautiful sister who takes care of me when ill and my parents aren’t there. They are one of the special things in my everyday life.

The other special thing in my everyday life is having an aunt who teaches me how to do a lot of things and takes me places.

The other special thing is that my cousins are always in touch with me all the time. We play a lot too, with fun toys and the special things in my life.
