From Tokelau to New Zealand

In Tokelau, it was hard for the people, because they had problems like not that much food, not enough clothes, and no money. It was difficult for them, but they always hope, hope that they will on day get enough of everything they wanted, and that they can build more, and live longer. Tokelau, was a small island, with not that much resources, so they struggled with life. The only way for them to live longer, is to do the island way of working, like hunting for food, and making clothes, there wasn't very much money in Tokelau, because it is a very poor country. They prayed to God, asking for help, and they did indeed get help. The families in Tokelau was, in need of help to, so they shipped them off to a different country, for them to live life easier and better. But i was a bit hard for them, because they didn't understand the language other people were saying, and they couldn't understand very well, but all was good for them. They went through tough obstacles, finding, understanding, and communicating. There were some who knew how to speak English, and some that don't, well some that is not used to, not quite yet. Living in a different country was hard, because being far away from their family was a bit too scary and yet to sad, because well, they had to leave their families, for their lives to be better than it is. Tokelauans moved to different countries because living in Tokelau was hard, and difficult, so they decided to ship off to another country so that their lives gets better and so they live their lives easier.

Sitting The Exams

When i first started my exams for this year, i was feeling a bit depressed because of thinking i might fail everything, and thinking that i won't do good enough. I was stressed out, because i was so afraid of getting low marks, and so afraid of being put down a level, i was so embarrassed. Through the whole exams, i had no faith in maths, because maths was the hardest subject for exams, because of the strategies i had to use to complete it. The exams was a big challenge for me because it was way harder than last years exams, because it had, heaps of questions for us to answer, and heaps of solving out to do, it was challenging because the exams got me confused and worried, because i was sure enough that my answers were to be right, and was worried of failing my class and the year group. The exams was hard, and easy, but mainly hard because i didn't really understand the text at first, but reading it over and over again, made me realise that the exam was actually not that hard at all, but still, it was hard for me. I didn't really prepare for my exams well, because in my classes, i did pay attention but always got distracted, and because i wasn't ready for exams week. I wasn't ready at all, because i didn't learn much cause i was distracted, and because we didn't know much, cause we were always loud. I believe that in the science exams, i did excellent because i knew the topics, and i understand everything in science because i was taking notes of what we were to do in the exams. I believe that science was the easiest for me because, i re-learnt every topics in science. I had troubles in my exams like doing the maths exams because i didn't really understand most of the exam, but most of it was kind of easy, but not really, because i disfavour maths, and i do not really like maths at all, but in the maths exams i was proud of myself because luckily i was listening, and i got some questions right. In my exams i could've done better, by answering all the questions, and giving it my best shot, and trying everything even if i didn't know the right answer, i could've have more faith that i would do good, and not to worry that my marks are gonna be low. Next time, i will do my very best, and to never give up so easily. I would answer all the questions, and give it my best shot, and try to not rush but finish the test on time.

When we first started our exams, i wasn't ready
That my hands were shaking, and my brain wasn't steady
Starting of with English, i did a big mistake
That i didn't do it right, which gave me a headache
I struggled in Maths, and got everything wrong
I almost gave up, cause it took way too long
Science was easy, but really complicated
Not knowing the correct answer, that was one thing i hated
Thinking i failed, that i didn't do good enough
Doing something else, and doing other stuff
I answered as best as i can, to get to my goal
And got good marks, at the end of it all
