ANZAC day

A Tribute to the soldiers who died at Gallipoli

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…

You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace.

There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours.

You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our heart and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."

- Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.  1934

MY E.O.T.C. WEEK Rangitoto

On the first day of E.O.T.C week we went to Rangitoto
First we got the roll called and got our bags and hopped on the bus and headed to Rangitoto.Tishaan and I chatted the whole way. Then we got to to the ferry. On the way I felt seasick a few times. When we got to Rangitoto we put on some sunblock and headed to the top of Rangitoto. I was huffing and everybody was falling over but Tishaan never fell ove. r I almost did the the splits. We took a few breaks.when we got top we had a 5 minute break  then we went back down. On the way down we went to the lava caves. The 1st cave was blocked off but 2nd wasn't blocked. The 3rd one I didn't see. Then we headed back down to the ferry. When we got down we had some food and hopped on the ferry and back to school. Tishaan and I chatted the whole way again. We made it back and put our bags away.

What I did in the holidays

The first thing I did in the holidays was stay in a car for 6 hours heading to New Plymouth and we stayed at a motel with electric blankets on the bed. We had to wake up early to head back to Auckland but we stopped in Rotorua. We went on the Luge then the pools and it was getting late so my dad's friend had some where to stay for the night. The next day we looked at some animals and then some dogs just started to jump on us but the owner came to get the dogs. Then we went to Burger Fuel for lunch. After lunch we headed back to Auckland. That was my trip.
