Tena koutou katoa ko Nevaeh ahau.
My Korero is about why my whanau is important to me I am very lucky that i have a birth whanau and a whanau why adopted me from birth. My birth mother is from Niue and my birth father is Maori.
I have two birth brothers Levi who is 8 and troy is 7 months old. I see them occasionally when we travel to Auckland. My Adopted mother is Maori from Pukepoto, my adopted father is Maori and English from Tainui I have 4 older sisters and 2 older brothers who all live in New Zealand as well.
My Nan Elizabeth Te Paa was a fantastic role model for me. she was a very positive influence in my decision making regarding my education and sports. My Nan was very colourful in her description of
things while she kept a straight face everyone around her were either smiling or laughing.
My mum and dad love and encourage me to strive at school and at sport and set my goals high. I love my special time with mum where we have one on one time talking, baking, and planning things, I also love my special times with dad over at the farm at Ngakahu helping him move the stock or driving the tractors with him. We talk about farming and he tells me stories of what it was like when he was growing up, the time I spend one on one with both my mum and dad are very precious to me.
My aunty Kahlene is a police officer in Melbourne Australia. She comes home to New Zealand regularly she always visits me, mum, and dad, she is very kind and is extremely supportive and encourages me to keep trying when I am doubting myself.
There is many times while over at Ngakahu with dad and extended Ngakahu whanau arrive to have a look around the whenua, so i get to met more aunties and uncles and cousins, and sometimes here stories of what it was for them growing up at Ngakahu, which makes me think how lucky I am.
So I hope this helps you to understand why whanau are important to me.
No reira tena koutou tena koutou katoa.
