It was where I learned to strive towards success, especially around prize giving, as I knew that my hard work would be rewarded.
I also have my parents to thank for always encouraging me when I was young, and now I pass on the same encouragement to my children.
It's an interesting year for my youngest as in a break from tradition, she is the only one of my close family who has gone to an inner city girls' grammar school.
My siblings and I went to the local high school co-ed with many Pasifika and Māori students and some European and Asian students.
At this particular prize giving, it was great to see many parents, grandparents, siblings and friends coming to the prizegiving and sharing this special time together. We got to give our lolly leis, flowers and best wishes to our youngest and also with other girls, some who were even related to us.
Now it's time for the holidays to start and it's something to look forward to as we count down with only five more sleeps before we board the plane to Samoa and soak in the sun in Samoa. Plus we have our Ah Siu Family Reunion. Not long now...
