Whanau, Hanau, Aiga and Family.

-Whanau Meeting!-

It has been scary from stage one to stage three. Applications and forms before and after being accepted. Tears(all nervous and happy) before and after selection. But one thing that I know will never change, is the support and love I get from family and friends.  

So to acknowledge the support from our families and to share the details of our journey we had a family dinner.

Mr Ali gave our families a presentation about the trip, including details of the itinerary, luggage details, what we should expect and more information about Jishukan High School. We also had a grasp from Gabby, who went last year, and her mum. Gabby warned us about the robot toilets but they both ensured me and my family that the experience in Japan and New Zealand would be lovely.  

Then I ended us with a prayer and we had a small shared dinner...Mr Ali always gets me to do the prayer! Don’t get me wrong! I am a religious person buts it’s ALWAYS ME! And he waits till we done. *looks at me with a evil smile* “Memory can you end us in prayer please” And of course I won’t reject the request....but he put me on the spot...AGAIN...wait till we get to Japan😈

But the night was awesome! I met some of the parents and mad the trip seem scarier and fun.
