Term 3 Week 8
Finally I am back to school and full learning mode is back on, This week is just like any other week, where it consists of finishing assessments and school activities. I have a really important Awards ceremony this week where I will receive my certificate for being apart of a group of students who are privileged enough to go on the OPC camp which is at Hilary Outdoors. I am so lucky to be apart of the 7 students that are going to this camp as not only will I meet some new friends but I will try develop my leadership skills which will be very helpful if I want to consider on going for a Kaitiaki role next year.
As I was told we are receiving our Kaitiaki forms next week which will be a little bit more of a challenge as I will need to hand this in before the term ends as I will be at camp the whole of the holidays, so I would need to complete this beforehand. I also still am working towards my NCEA level 2 endorsement which will be a huge accomplishment for me, but all it comes down to is Hard work and determination. I was taught growing up that if you want want something you got to work for it, because things arent handed to you in life, they are earnt. So I got to stick to plan and work my way to achieving my goals.

Term 2 week 7
As a long an exhausting week of rugby games goes past, I finally get to rest my body this weekend, with playing the whole week I feel as if i have been ran over a dozen of trucks.
Although this week has been very tiring, It has been the best week of my life for me, not only because im playing the game I love but because im playing alongside the boys I have known since I have started Papakura High, and also representing our school with pride means more than anything to me.
Despite the tournament I have also been trying to focus on my studies even though my mindset is set on rugby for the week, As I only have 20 more credits til I pass my NCEA level 2. I have been also studying for a very important church event that is coming up, but I know if I stick to my plan I have made at the beginning of this term I know that I can function my week properly with Rugby and school.
My quote for this week is by a very famous human rights Activist Malcolm X, This has really help as I as I am still studying and hoping for a better future, But I do know that If I do prepare myself for the future, It will be a bright one!

Term 3 week 6
As week 6 goes by, its been probably the most stressful time for me in terms of schooling, because not only do I have Tournament next week basically all my subjects have assessments that are due in on friday, but with my daily prayers and encouragement from my parents and peers I know that I will hand these all in before I go to tournament week.This year I am very determined to get a excellence endorsement in my NCEA level 2, which will be very useful when applying for scholarships, jobs etc.
This past Thursday I helped my whanau(Otuuwairoa) learn a Tongan hymn that the whole school will be singing at the next assembly as it is Tongan language Week next week. Being apart of different leadership groups really helps me develop my leadership skills more and more every week, For example every Tuesday Ka, E.K and I have our year 9 kaitohutohu class which we take care of, Being able to interact with these year 9s and teaching them about leadership things they have never learnt before is a real blessing for me because I can see already that most of them are developing into young leaders of our school.I honestly without a doubt cannot wait to see our year 9s develop into leaders.
Next week I will be at the NZRL national rugby league tournament, but that does not mean that I do no work, It just means I have heaps of homework to do and studies to catch up on. Its a real privilege to be apart of the leadership groups at Papakura High School.
