I like to play sports, watch actions movies and I like to watch rugby league and rugby union. I hate to come school but I have. School is cool and sometimes boring because I always have to stay inside.

In my family there are 4 people. Me, My sister, My mum and my dad.

My sister goes to One Tree Hill College. This is her first year of college. She always wakes up early everyday to go to school. My mum is a good cook. She cooks yum food for me and sometimes takes for long to cook and I get very hungry. My dad goes to work everyday, He works at Gerard Roofs. He makes roofs for other places in New Zealand. My dad is also a good cook. He cooks very yum Tongan foods.

I am a full Tongan but born in New Zealand. I love my country because people from Tonga are nice and kind just like my nana. Tonga is a little country in the southern hemisphere. Since Tonga is a small country they have a small population compared to New Zealand. They have 119,009 in Tonga. Tonga is a nice country even though I have not been there I am going to go there at the end of this year.

When I grow up I would like to be a professional rugby league. I would also like to play for the Warriors in the NRL.
