Who Am I?

My name is Elizabeth and I am a year eight student. I attend Ruapotaka Primary Intermediate School. I live in Auckland, Glen Innes. I was born in New Zealand. I have black hair, dark brown eyes and I am short in height. I am Tongan, Samoan and Cook Island. I enjoy playing sports, games and doing art.

In my family there are five boys, five girls, my mum and my dad. I am the seventh child in my family. I have six older siblings and three younger siblings.

Visiting my Brother

Going to the RNZN Base was cool but seeing my brother was better. We woke up at 6:00 am. We got ready to go. Before we could go to the RNZN Base we had to get my dad from Mangere then make our way to the RNZN base.

We arrived at 9:15 am which was just in time to get my brother. By the time we walked in everyone was holding cameras, phones and other electronic devices. We were directed to the edge of the footpath to wait for them.

Soon he arrived. My brother was in the third row behind the people playing the bagpipes, marching. Later after they had marched they were allowed to go home with their families for one day.

He came home in his uniform with his hat. When we got home everyone said "hi" and hugged him. Most of his friends came to say "hi." He left to go back to the RNZN base at 5:30 pm. We said our "goodbyes" but he’ll rather ring or visit us in the weekend.
