I am poem

An "I am poem" is a way for others to
understand more about you.
Here is my "I am poem"

I am an excellent swimmer at AUT.
I wonder what the world would be like if we were stuck in the olden days.
I hear the music the music spill out of the CD player as I dance along.
I see people smiling, waving, chatting all around me.
I want to be someone that helps others.
I am a swimmer.



I pretend to be an adventurous but shy twin.
I feel a surge of love towards my mother as she raised me and cared for me.
I touch the soft silky feeling of a new swimsuit at Christmas.
I worry about having no friends at all.
I cry when someone betrays me.
I am an excellent swimmer at AUT.



I understand that everyone must die at some time.
I say everyone is to be cared for and treated equally.
I dream to have two children and a happy family.
I try to be the best I can be.
I hope that the memories of my childhood stay with me forever.
I am an excellent swimmer at AUT.

Ode to the library


Ode to the library

Oh library,
You are filled with stories waiting to be read
Oh library,
I love the quiet hum of people reading
Oh library,
I love the books you provide for me, and the sound of pages flipping
Oh library,
You’re the place I would go for peace and quiet.

Stranded....

Stranded, yes the Smith kids were stranded on a deserted island with no sign of living creatures.  This all started on a summers morning, 1988 January 21st.  The "fun" vacation they thought they were going on started with Jemina screeching, "Hurry up or we are going to be late!", as she is, a bit, of a perfectionist. Hearing this the Smith Kids dashed around in rapid speed seeing as they didn't want another endless lecture..........

Ultimate Obstacle Course at Camp Hunua

Ultimate Obstacle Course

As my cabin and me waited to get our cups, for the ultimate obstacle course at Camp Hunuas top field,the birds on trees were chirping like they were cheering for the other team. The muddy,cold grass felt weird on my feet.I was excited but nervous.

There it goes “Ready set go!”.I raced off with the cup of water in my hands. Bouncing over hurdles, avoiding poles, under a cargo net and down a water-slide. During this I could hear the water splashing out of the cup.As soon as I got off the water slide I sprinted to the bucket to pour in the remaining water.I ran to the starting line to start again. After the last team went,we all ran to the water slide to slide down again and again.

After that, we were all soapy so we went to the “Kid Wash”(the hose)to get hosed off.One minute I was slippery and soapy the next minute I was soaking wet.I was relieved that I had made it without tripping. We were all puffed so we went to the tarpaulin to gather our belongings to go back to our cabins to change into dry clothes. In the end when they announced my cabin and me the winners we were all so EXCITED! If I could do it again, I definitely would.
