Life nowadays

 holy shmacks

This year has been a hell of a roller coaster, with school work and rugby and youth and all, we're still going strong. What's that ? term 2 and 3's already finished ? holy camoly how many credits do I have...  3 credits to my name.      whaatt theee

so I took that personally and did the deadliest academic grind ever and I'm now sitting on 50 credits, God is good ! speaking of God, me and my homie we kinda close, you know I be giving him thanks and praising him with all my heart and he's been giving me blessing and i'm forever grateful for Jesus ! We recently had shout ! again, not gonna go too deep into that, but it's basically church but on mega steroids. It's encouraged me to plant seeds in people so that the Lord can grow. During shout, Ruby was talking about By the Gate and God kinda spoke to me and was like "yo start up by that gate at Tamaki" and I'm like "okay" so I grab my buddy Troy and we start it up and every tuesday break, we'd pray for our students & school and we've been consistent since.

I'm hoping to become Headboy of Tamaki college 24' Not because of status or fame or it would look on my CV, I hoping to become Headboy to make a change in our school, regardless of big or small, but a change I shall make. A thing I would want to change would definitely be the rep that Tamaki college has, which isn't a good one. I don't know how, but I will. Growing up, I was never seen as "that" kid that was destined for greatness, or had huge potential, I was just kinda there. I never really had any special role model growing up like Cristiano Ronaldo or someone, So I did everything for my parents and did everything I can to make them proud. It's been 17 years since I've started 💪 My parents didn't sacrifice so much for me to not become someone. I hope to make them proud one day.

Thanks

Hows Life ?

 

Room 16

broskis, holy moly lifes crazyy ! I'm chilling one night right ? and then boom, we moving dawg. That was like 5 months ago, and now, i'm chilling in my room. This is such a big deal for me mainly because I've been living in my old home for the last 16 years, a house of 3 rooms, with a family of 11. Like bro, tell me how that works ? I don't know, but my family definitely made it work. I'm especially grateful for the Lord for this blessing, all glory straight to Jesus! Anyways, I've never enjoyed talking about the idea of houses around my friends, only because I never had a room. Straight up, my fondest memory is me sleeping in the living room while the other homies were chilling in their beds in their room. I never talked about how loud I played music in 'my room' or how decorated 'my room' was, because I was ashamed to tell them that I slept in my parents room. As much as it hurts to say, but I, Saia, Top academic boy of 2019, Rise award winner of 2020, Player of the year 2021, First XV Team Spirit of 2022, Top Tamaki College Service academy student of 2023, MVP of summer revo 2023, slept in my parents room majority of my teenage years. I would always get jealous that my friends would literally have walk-in closets, while I wouldn't even have a room of my own. But, the look on my parents face when we first walked into our new house. spoke no words,  but yet communicated greatly. The look of "We've done it" and the look of " We get to be a family" were a common theme of facial expression within my parents. Nowadays, I play my music loud asf and my room is all decorated with posters, exceeding beyond my expectations of a room that I've dreamed of having.
