My grandparents have worked hard ever since migrating from Samoa to New Zealand. They worked in factory jobs and hard labour. It's because of their hard work that I try to do my best for them and my family. Our pacific islands grandparents and parents are the most hard working people and I hope to do the same for my family in the future.

My sister is currently 9 years of age. With her 9 years of life she’s already taught me to appreciate the little things. Waking up in the morning, functioning the same as other and being normalised etc.
My younger sister has been bullied by children in her kindergarten, mistreated by her teachers also in kindergarten, been publicly discriminated by ignorant people & has had death knocking at her front door. My sister is autistic and the jokes that are normalised by people honestly enrages me. At the age of 4 my sister came home with bruises because she was mistreated by her peers and teachers. Age 7 my sister went through her first seizure, throughout the year she had been through multiple long lasting seizures. Her seizures were not normal they lasted hours and due to this it affected her brain severely. Already she had autism, having seizures too? How could a child bare that much?
Doctors all had their say on what they thought about my sister. Some said that if her seizures continued life wouldn’t be able to bring her back. Others said that regarding her autism she may not be able to achieve the basic skills most children achieve at her age eg: (going to the toilet alone, being able to speak, being able to socially interact, being able to try new foods etc). However, my sister being the strong person she defied all odds. My sister is able to go to the toilet on her own, dress herself on her own, she has found ways to communicate with our family, although her social skills aren’t perfect she tries her best. My sister despite death, autism & discrimination has been able to go through everyday with a smile on her face. Genuinely being happy with her life because she’s able to do little things like sing, play outside & play on her tablet. My sister inspires me through everyday life, whenever I’m feeling down she hugs me. I always keep my sister in mind when I go though trials in life because if my 9 year old sister is able to pull through and live everyday as if her life was perfect then as her older sister I should be able to do the same. My sister is the strongest young woman I know.

Throughout this generation people be little those with special needs. They make a mockery out of those who have had a disadvantage in life purely because they aren’t ‘normal’. The normalisation of offensive jokes needs to come to an end. I would write and speak about my sister because maybe then people will open their ignorant eyes and come to a realisation that Autistic people are more than what you can see. “Never Judge a Book by Its Cover” is the cliche, if it’s such a cliche why do people never learn from it?
My sister find happiness in little things, people should learn that the cup is never half empty always have full.

My grandma is my "WHY" and I just know that if it wasn't for her or my brother I wouldn't be happy with anything right now. I would be weak and a push over. I would lose all my battles I have with life and myself. I'm not sure that I would be capable of what I can do today without them with me and in mind.

Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones formally known as the rapper Nas. As long as I knew him he really taught me that nothing is impossible if your loto lahi and to never give up even at your toughest times. Nasir grew up in The QueensBridge Projects, New York. Growing up he was a really low-key and anti social kid. When he was 13 his father left and made him really sad. His mother was a very caring person she loved Nas and his younger brother Jungle so much and would do anything for them to be safe and succeed in life. Nas always wagged school and hung around the neighbourhood, one day him and his mum got into an argument about going school and Nas just ended up not going to school ever. Nas turned to selling drugs but when his bestfriend Ill Will got shot and died it really flipped him upside down and made him take life more serious. Than Nasir stepped back to his childhood ryhme skeems and collaborated with 4 music producers and than made One of The Greatest or the Greatest Hip hop album of all time. ILLMATIC

My nana is one of the strongest people I know she raised me for the first 5 years of my life while raising her 2 autistic kids and her other 4 kids she wasn't the richest person but she managed to feed me clothe me and my uncles. I watched her struggle financially but she always had a bright smile and made sure her kids and I were all happy she stayed strong minded no matter that situation she was in. She didn't have the biggest house or the fanciest stuff but she was happy.

1) My younger sister has attended Pakuranga Learning Centre where she was bullied.
Little Cubs Kindy where she was treated as an equal (also jumped the fence)
Currently attends Somerville Special School
2) My sister has no friends that I currently know of because she’s non-verbal. So if she did have friends she wouldn’t be able to speak about it. However, my sister is independent and usually keeps to herself and is content with herself not trying to meet anyone else’s expectations which is another admirable trait about her. My father and sister have a bond between them and I believe our father is her best friend.

My sister shows interests in climbing trees. The monkey in her really shines when she is outside exploring our backyard. Her climbing abilities at time raise our mother and father’s anxiety levels, although, as she’s grown older we’ve learned that she understand what she is doing. However, that does not stop my family and I from being overprotective and cautious of her every move. She also has a taste for her arts and crafts like most girls her age do. Not only does she interest in visual arts she also shows interests in performing arts. She loves to sing, dance & act out her nursery rhyme videos or cartoons.

# data[].attributes.body
My sister was born when our parents were around 24 years old and we all shared a one bedroom flat in Otahuhu. We then moved to an apartment also in Otahuhu and then moved out into a house in Highland Park. My sister has encountered many troubles in life especially with changes in environments. Her sensory issues prevent her from being able to smoothly adapt to new scenarios, environments, people and foods. Many people in the public do not understand her and are ignorant towards her disability. Out in public people have mocked her in front of our family (of course my father does not let that slide) and it just goes to show that no matter how many people die and are born in this world still there’s no changes to how heartless people are. Watching an old lady yell at your sister to “SHUT UP” then arguing with your dad claiming that “this is a public place learn to control your child”. That’s really tough for me to see and even harder for me to accept. My sister has been by my side since the day she was born. Everything I do she does and everywhere I go she comes. I am my sisters keeper. (My sister is only 9 years old her life story isn’t too long).

He attended Dawson Primary, Ferguson Intermediate, Tangaroa College.
My brother and parents migrated here to New Zealand when he was 3 years old, growing up my family weren't the richest. But my brother says his childhood was definitely full of good memories he will never forgot. My brother and cousin all grew up together and those were his friends. Together they made a funny and a memorable childhood. To this day they still tell funny stories from when they were young.
Grandmas Childhood)
My grandma lived a normal life, the same way many people lived their lives her age. I do know that my grandma was the only girl, all her siblings were boys. So it was expected that she was her mothers shadow. She was her mothers right hand man. But it didn't mean that she wouldn't get the same hidings everyone else got. She would tell me stories of her getting a hiding and she would laugh about it, the story didn't even sound funny. It was scary more than funny, but I guess to my grandmother she just missed being cheeky, misbehaving and having fights with her brothers.

My grandma and brother have taught me a lot and they probably haven't realiszed. But my Grandma educated me with her wise words, the small things she used to say to me and my siblings that have carried me far into life. She put samoan bible scriptures into my head and blood. Runs purely now. She taught me that the small things in life have the biggest impacts. She taught me that life isn't always rainbows and butterflies, and that a rough patch in life is either a lesson  or a blessing. These are only a few things she taught me. But there is one thing that her absence has taught me.. It has taught me to show your love towards those you truly care about before it's too. I had many regrets that I held and dwelled on for a long while.. I regretted many things and one big thing is, I should've shown I loved her more often, Appreciated the small things she did for me and my siblings, treated the small moments like gold, cause now I wont get those moments. My brother has taught me patience, taught me that sometimes in a tough situation you have to be the bigger person. He also taught me to understand things from different perspectives, because things aren't always the way it sounds, there is always a backstory and to understand it before you speak. He also taught me that sometimes you don't need to say anything, you're present to all that person needs.This taught me to only speak when it's necessary and if it's not necessary then don't speak. It taught me to know my place of what to say,when to say and how to say. I speak depending on my audience, thanks to my brother. He taught me to be supportive for those who need it. My brother has taught me how to be humble, respectful, and mindful. Growing up with him as a big brother figure was a huge help to me. It showed me a lot at a young age, and personally I think that he plays a big part in my maturity.

I think the most the most challenging thing that happened to Nasir was losing his Bestfriend Ill Will but it made him more determined to write his album Illmatic and make him realise that the streets are very dangerous. Another challenge he had to overcome was losing his mother to cancer in the early 2000s and battling Jay-Z but he thought through his mothers loss and destroyed Jay-Z with the infamous and one of the greatest disses of all time "Ether" from his album stillmatic. 2020 Nasir won his first grammy for best rap album Kings disease. Nas also has the Greatest Rap album of all time Illmatic and the most critical acclaimed with Nas being the first Rapper to have 5 mics on the source in 1994. To me I believe Nasir is the Greatest EmCee you can just tell by his storytelling how lyrical he is on the beats he hits. Illmatic was an underground hit but his second album it was written got him international with his hit single with Ms Lauryn Hill "If I ruled the World". Nas has also had many grammy nominations and Bet Awards, Nas had many beefs back than even with the late Tupac Shakur, But they squashed it at the MTV awards after party 1996 and both looked forward to collab in the future but 3 days later Pac got shot and passed a few days later.

She enjoyed gardening and she was actually good at it. Her flowers just made sense. Like everything was in place the colours looked good together and I know, I will never understand gardening but I did know, that her garden was beautiful. When she got to the age where she couldn't do much, like gardening, weaving, cooking and cleaning. She started colouring, we would buy her thick coloring books with mandalas or a garden kind of picture. She loved it. She spent most of her time coloring these books, Sometimes when she finished colouring a picture she'll write a story on the side. A story either from her childhood, or she'll name the flower after one of her granddaughters.

Inspirations and individuals that have influenced me greatly have driven me to work harder and achieve my goals. The greatest motivation in life is my father. He is the reason why I am working so hard to become like him.

My father has a positive routine of going through books whenever he is liberated from his work. He has a huge library of books and is constantly telling us to never get scared of anything in life. This routine has given me tremendous exercise and is what makes me happy.

At any point in my life, my dad has upheld me. The way in which he handled his life has made me think about doing something important in order to make him happy.
