Tena ra koutou katoa
Ko Hikurangi te maunga
Ko te Raparapa te awa
Ko Matawaia te marae
Ko Te Kau-i-mua te hapu
Ko Ngapuhi te iwi
Ko Tuishaly ahau
Ko te putake o taku korero ko te ako ki te panui pukapuka.
I was like global girl, I couldn't read until a man and a lady asked ” Can I take Tuishaly for a while?” and I thought ‘Oh man, I’m in trouble!’ I was shaking and I felt scared! I walked as fast as I could, my heart pounding, my thoughts were all over the place.
E mihi ana te tangata ki ahau.
“Tena koe, ko Eric taku ingoa. E kii ana ahau ae.”
“Kia ora, ko Tuishaly toku ingoa.”
Tino tea ahau. Kore ahau e mohio te take e pa ana ki enei o nga tokorua.
Kore roa ka huri nga tokorua ki te awhina kite tautoko ahau kite ako kite panui pukapuka.
Ka ao te marama, ki oku nei whakaro e tino hoha tenei mahi nate mea kore ahau e hiahia ki te noho ki te whakarongo, engari na te mea e tino pai ana ta raua ahuatanga e tino pai ana ahau kite noho ki te whakarongo, engari inaianei, ka haere tonu ahau ki te ako ki te whakarongo ki te panui pukapuka. Nga mihi ki nga tokorua a Eric raua ko Tania mo ona awhina mo ona tautoko ki ahau.
No reira kia u mai e koutou ma ki te te ako mo te panui pukapuka.
No reira, tena koutou (x3) katoa..
Kia ora, ko Tuishaly toku ingoa.
Thank you for listening to my speech.
