Discovering Aotearoa

As you know I'm full Tongan and currently live in Auckland New Zealand. My parents both grew up in Tonga. My mum in Nuku'alofa and my dad in Ha'apai. They many stories about their childhood and some are traumatising and it still is to this day.

Growing up I had things that I wanted and received them but now I don't seem to always get everything I wished for. I learnt many things growing up like to be patience and enjoy life as it is. Still I'm continuing to learn more things in my life and will remember my happy and mostly sad memories. 

Setting Sail

Summer Learning Journey
Week 1 
Day 1- Explorers
Activity 1- Setting Sail

1. A pack of water bottles because sometime in the day, it can get hot and sweaty. Overall water helps you have a healthy mindset and is helpful when you don't have energy.
2. Chocolate is another good food to help release your difficulties and pain.
3. Ice cream sandwiches because they're tasty and just make you happy while eating it.
4. If I'm not in the mood for water, I'll just drink fizzy since water doesn't really make me satisfied with the taste.
5. I'll take Hawaiian sweet rolls and eat it with my favourite fruits like pineapple, grapes, oranges and such other.
6.  If I'm really not in the best mood during the day and I feel like disappearing, I'll just take out my container full of strawberries dipped in chocolate.
7. I'd gladly bring with me pringles with sauce because everyone loves pringles some day in their life.
8. Cookies and biscuits is another way to help stress the pain out. Mostly I love my cookies and biscuits softened and melted but either way they're still delicious.
9. I'd bring ding dong chips if I really am feeling spicy and marvellous.
10. Lastly I'd bring rice with sugar in it because rice always fills me up and makes me feel happy and joyful inside.

Elon Musk

The famous and creative Elon Musk is an American who produces inventions like Tesla Motars, Solar City and CEO. He is worth over $10 billion making him the 37th richest American. He educated himself at the University of Pennsylvania where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics. 

He impacts on others life because he has potential that can inspire others in the future to pursue their dreams even if their childhood wasn't the best. I chose Elon Musk out of the five people because I know more about his history and I in the future wants to create many things I've dreamed of.

Activity 3- Mass Migration

On your blog, please tell us what you think about his plan to build a wall between the USA and Mexico. Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Why do you think so?

In my opinion from my knowledge of Donald Trump president of United States of America, I believe it is tragic and unfair for him to build a wall between USA and Mexico. We are all the same regarding skin colour and ethnicity. It is a bad idea to build a wall otherwise we'll never learn to love and appreciate other cultures. 

Fighting For Freedom

On your blog, explain the issue clearly and tell us why it is so important to you.

I think Mahatma Gandhi is a role model wanting there to be change in skin colour and I believe that's an amazing thing to do. There should be different ethnicities who should be able to do the same amount of things a fair ethnicity. I think Greta Thunberg is doing the world a favour and we should be thankful.
