Thursday 6 May 2013, was well... the best day of our life!!! I’m not being dramatic or anything but a group of students got the chance to see that Mr.William James Adams,otherwise known as Will.I.Am . He has donated $100,000 to the Manaiakalani Education Trust. We were told at first that it was an anonymous donater but when we arrived we got the news that it was Will.I.Am himself who had donated the money.It was something worth experiencing.

When the cheque was presented we were thankful and honored for his helpful donation towards the Manaiakalani Education Trust. His inspirational words motivated us all as students to keep moving forward in life.

The words that he preached today was "My mission is to help transform disadvantaged youths, and I hope my donation to the Manaiakalani Trust will help these young people gain the skills they need for tomorrow's job market."

We acknowledged that fact the he shared a small portion of his life with us about growing up with  only his mum to raise him and about the fact that music and arts literally saved his life. He told us that his dream was to look after his mother and siblings.

When he told us what his dream was we felt like we could do something with our life. Meeting or hearing him wasn’t just hearing or seeing him as a celebrity but we got to hear and see him as a person who motivated himself to succeed in life.

We came back to school feeling glad we got to be part of something worth remembering, we got to be part of something we could tell our friends with pride and experience.

Around the corner, down the street

When I’m feeling down, with no one around

I know I can look to you.

When I need a hug, or need a friend

I don’t have to worry.

For when we met and became friends, I knew I wouldn't be sorry.

Ancestors Poem

I am a proud daughter of my many Maori ancestors.

Their wisdom protects me from illness and helps to keep me strong.

Unconditional love and support of family ties us all together.

Even when, without thinking I do something that is wrong.

For me they struggled and strived in a stormy salty sea.

To sail to an unknown land in their magnificent wooden waka.

While listening to howling winds or a soft summer breeze.

Paddling bravely with hardened leathery hands to reach Aotearoa.

The taste of salt upon dried and cracking lips.

The familiar smell of the waka’s wood was joined by that of land.

The last of their water they drank in sips.

As they saw the green hills and headed towards the sand.

In the future I will be a famous Silver Fern.

Taking strength from all my ancestors as I play each game.

They will be proud of me for carrying my head up high.

Showing my love of them by honoring my Maori name.

My Autobiography

This week I presented my Autobiography in front of my class. There are some 

personal information I have deleted because I'm being cyber smart.

Who am I?

Name: Charday.

Nationality and culture:  New Zealand and Maori .

Family: Mum,Dad and 6 brothers.

Likes: I like Netball and other sports, I like my family and friends, vegetables and fruits and my favourite is school.

Dislikes: I dislike bullying and not coming to school when I am sick.

Age:12 years old.

Where/When you were born:  I was born in Auckland, New Zealand.

School: Tamaki Primary School.

Background: My culture is Maori and I have a mum, dad , 7 brothers and 4 sisters in law. But I am lucky because I am the only girl in my family and I get a little bit spoiled by everyone, especially by my aunty.

Meaning of name/Purpose of name: My mum named me Charday because she wanted my name to be different from everyone else’s.

Embarrassing Moments: My embarrassing moment was when we were at my dad’s brother’s house with all of my family and we were playing volleyball.  My brother threw the ball high into the sky and when it came down it hit my head in front of all my family.

Horrifying moment: My horrifying moment was when my dog Snoopy got run over at night and was badly hurt.

Funny moment: My funniest memory is when I was helping my family for my brother’s 21st birthday party.  When it started to get hot  we  all went and bought Ice cream for everyone including my baby nephew. Then we went back to work and when we looked down to see if my nephew was alright, all we could see was ice cream everywhere and my nephew’s face was covered in sprinkle ice cream.

Best moment: My best moment was when I got to see all my brothers and my little nephew together and went  to Rainbow’s End.  I only get to see all my brothers together when they can make it home when my whole family have a party for a special occasion or for Christmas and New Year celebrations.
