What a day today, actually what a week. Talofa Lava, this is a recap of my entire week.
After all the pleasures of being apart of the pacifica group, being a part of the summer learning journey and having such great people as friends that I knowΒ better of know. To start off, this week I found out it was Samoan Language Week [ lie, I already knew it was coming up four weeks before] and I was apart of the pacifica group. It is a group where PI or Pacific Islanders come to celebrate one culture on their special weeks and getting to know one other and how they feel about their own heritage. Now, I am indeed not Samoan but having some people in my family who actually are Samoan made me willing enough to learn another culture. SO I started going to their practising sessions and I learnt the anthem, Siva and language. We were actually successful after all the practising, on the day of the assembly we were already and dressed to be presented to our school. I think we did 9/10 no offence. The only reason why is that I wished we didn’t have technical issues but like champions we held it through. Well done Pacifica Group and Thank you Mrs Eric for leading everything, a great way to show pride in your heritage. Now right before having to do our presentation I had a shock. During the holidays I participated in something called the Summer Learning Journey and well I came 1st. I received a gift and was very proud of myself. From people giving me compliments to just my legs shaking as walking up and shaking my principal’s hand. Not gonna lie, I almost was about to ask my friend to come up with me and be a big baby but I did not want to draw more attention to me. SO I then just went up and tried to rush back. Will I be doing that program again, maybe. On Monday I learnt about easy Samoan sentences, my pronunciation was in my opinion okay. Tuesday, I learnt about some more sentences. I think it was Wednesday we did the same thing and Thursday we made Samoan necklaces with the juniors.
Well apart from my friend getting attacked by a small child I felt good about everything that happened this week I hope next week is even better.
