Athletics' Injury

Yesterday was the most painful day of my life! Yes, my ankle twisted real badly and started bruising the second I was hopping back up the hill. Luckily I held in my tears because I didn't want to look like a cry baby in front of the other representatives of Ruapotaka School. I wish I could go back in time and do what I was told instead of making my own choices. Mr Reid said, "Stay in the lane!" repeatedly, but I fell down and came to school with a moon boot the next day. I'm regretting it now.

(I don't know why I'm smiling when I broke my ankle)

Soccer Practice

A few weeks ago we started playing soccer for lunch time sports. Then finally Mr Reid was going to choose the soccer team. I was running nervously down and up the field for the ball because I really wanted to make it in the team. Days came and Mr Reid still didn't have the team until one sunny Monday morning before fitness, he had told us who was in the soccer team. Yay! Calling out the names, hoping that he'd say my name. Heilala, Mika, Aydrian, Suliasi, Meana, Timote Junior and finally... Maranatha! I stopped biting my nails after he said my name. At last the team was officially made. We just need more practices and we'll be soccer professionals.
Front Row: Isabell, Meana and Aydrian
Back Row: Heilala, me, Timote Junior, MinZin, Dakbai, Mika, Sione, Samuel and Suliasi

Tongan Pride

For the past few weeks, we have been told to make a Rugby World Cup presentation. My group and I (Pallas, Akanesi, Heilala and Aydrian) worked together to accomplish our work. Once we were done, Mr Reid told us to make a slide of our own and put in a country we would want to talk about. The reason why I chose Tonga is because it's my homeland and from the day I was born til now it has been a pleasure to be part of a country that is well-known. Go the Mighty Tongans!
