What keeps me going? When I got that comment from Hayley saying she ‘tagged’ me I couldn’t think of anything. To be honest I actually had to sleep on it. I finally came up with an answer… or answers in my case.
My friends. They can talk me into doing things that I have either not thought about doing or I want to do but am too scared to go by myself. They can make me happy and are there when I need them.
The word ‘yes’ and where it can get you. If whenever someone asks you a question you say no.. you’re not going to get anywhere. But if you say yes, chances are you are going to get somewhere. So simply saying yes can keep me going.
Effort. Just the effort to be nice to someone can really make them feel appreciated, so that is why effort is something that also keeps me going. I use effort everyday. I use my effort for work, but my importantly to be nice to people. In my eyes everyone is my friend. Even if I don’t hang out with them every second of the day. I might hang out with them for an hour or maybe 10 minutes. But everyday I use effort to be nice to everyone I see and talk to.
The love of family, friends anyone really. If I didn’t have love around me I don’t think I would be able to keep going.
I am going to tag

No I am not complaining, I love T.A.I! And this year it is better than ever. I have applied for Class Councillor, got into choir, I am doing drama and just choosing whether I want to be involved in things when they happen. I also want to be in Inter Intermediate Gymnastics, Jump Jam programmes, Ski trip…
We already have a pile of work to do but I am not behind…yet. We have 2 visual languages to finish, a book review and a video (that no one has started). We also have been testing heaps. Hopefully I do well in them but I will know soon because Mrs Crowe will give us our tests back this week. I want to do better in my tests this year so I know I have improved.
I already have some goals in mind:
To improve in work from last year.
To try my best in everything I do.
Become more involved in sports.
Hopefully I will achieve these goals and my others.
I just want school to come and I will decide what I want to do. I don’t want to prepare every second of every day. I just want it to come to me.

In January I went to Mount Maunganui so I could have my surfing lesson. I was getting really excited when we got to the table where we signed in. The ladies gave me a big bag full of goodies and then I got a photo with Kimberly Crossman who plays Sophie on Shortland Street! When everyone had arrived we put on our rashshirts and did some warm ups like running, yoga and other stretches. We choose our surf board and then on the sand we learnt how to surf. But half way through it someone on the other side of the beach spotted a shark so we had to wait a while until we could go in the water. When the all clear was given we raced into the water (which is quite difficult to do carrying a long surf board at the same time) and began surfing. At first I fell off by doing a nose dive. I eventually got the hang of it and stood up quite a few times.
When we had finished we got some juice, got the pictures that had been taken before and our nails painted. In the end it was really fun and I will definitely do it next year.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a happy New Year! My Christmas day started at 5.30 in the morning because we had to leave at 6.00 so we could get to Auckland on time for our plane. I opened all my presents from mum and dad, then decided to eat one of my giant Freddy Frogs I got. I took a few bits and suddenly screamed! My tooth had chipped. It had chipped the cap off I had on one of my teeth from 2 years ago. It hurt heaps because I wasn’t used to it and when I breathed in too fast, it would hurt really bad. It has been a couple of weeks now and I am getting a new cap on the tooth tomorrow. When I am older I am going to have to get that tooth pulled out and get a fake tooth in its place because the dentist did warn that the cap will come off every few years. We flew down to Queenstown and then we had to drive to Invergargill. We stayed there for 2 nights then all of us drove down to Dunedin, stayed there for one night and went to Invergargill. We stayed there for a few more nights then we drove to Wanaka. Wanaka was really pretty and it didn’t get dark until about 10.00 at night! But on Wednesday we had really bad weather it was pouring – and we were meant to sleep in a tent! But luckily Mum and Dad let us share their really small cabin. The next day was beautiful and we went out in the boat. On Friday we had to drive back up to Queenstown where we had to flew back up to Wellington and then to Auckland. After we had finished all our travelling and were home we should have been happy, but we still our dog, Tammy but we couldn’t pick her up from the kennels until Saturday because it was so late at night. We are in Rotorua at the moment but we are going home tomorrow then on Saturday – going to Whangamata fro a week!
I am counting down until the 31st of January because I am going to Mount Maunganui for the Billabong Girls Get Out There. I will be having a surfing lesson which should be interesting.
Enjoy the rest of your holidays!!
