My Writing About Grief!

Have you ever had someone in your life that has just passed away?  I asked my mum what was she like? and my answer was amazing because she always wanted to look after me.
When my nana first saw me she knew I was her favourite grandchild she had,  and then she took me every time I had finished school  she wanted to look after me even when I was sick.
She spoiled me with lots of treats and fizzy and when my dad found out he would be made because she gave me fruit lollies creamed doughnuts and other things.


The only thing I loved about her was when she took me everyday and every weekend it was like she raised me as her own. Also when I stayed over her house my cousin would want me to sleep with her and when I went in her room she had a hammock on the ceiling with toys in it, I would always ask for one and then I had all of them. Then when I had all the toys on the bed I wanted to sleep with my nana and I wouldn’t sleep till I got what I wanted.


When we went traveling she wanted something from me and so I said  “yes and asked her what was it” she said “when you go to Samoa can you buy me a necklace” “sure thing” my mum said, “NO  I want it from her”. My dad gave me twenty dollars and I changed it to Samoa’s money, and when I ran to the market I bought one necklace and one bracelet.



When she died we suddenly got a call from my uncle telling me what had happened and then I told my parents what happened and then we just packed our bags and paid for the room and went to the airport waiting for our plane to arrive. Then for 17 hours for us to get back to New Zealand.
When we went to the marae she was already there and then they took her lid off and I was the first one to see her and then I put her necklace on her and everyone else started to cry.


Now to this day she was my favourite person in my life.

The Worst Thing I Ever Did!

On Friday the 17th of August was Pt England Schools cross country. We all gathered together to do chants and watch all the little kids go first.

First we cheered for our houses like Matatua or Te Arawa and Tainui also Takitimu. Those are all the houses people compete for and also we all wanted our house to win. Finally we get back to where we started. My legs were aching and everything was sore automatically I fell straight to the ground and then I was told at least I had finished it.

My legs were covered in mud and my shoes were ruined and after I had to chuck them away but when I had told my parents what we did and how long it took and they said “hurry up we're going to see her aunty” as I walk away I say “don't you want to know what happened”.

Thank You Emilee for checking my work.

Go For Gold.

Do you really know what makes an awesome athlete? I think athletes who practice will succeed in what they try to achieve. Some people say some athletes are just born that way or others same its a combination like being born that way and practicing to succeed.

Being a athlete must be really cool because they get to travel all over France, isn’t that fun? sometimes I wish I could be an athlete. Being someone who represents our country people all over New Zealand.

I think it’s awesome to compete in the Olympics because it is a big part where all the countries get to take part in the Olympics.
Thank You Chanel.
