I was born on the 10th of April.
My star sign is Aries.
One of my earliest memories is praying at our family temple back home.

In my family there are my mum, my dad, my brother, two sisters, my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, 5 nieces and 1 nephew.
An exciting event in my life was when I jumped off (controlled jump) the Sky Tower. I was so loud that they gave me a free jump.
A funny event in my life was when I fell walking up the stairs to get my Diploma. I am so clumsy.
A sad event in my life was when my uncle passed away last year.
An injury or accident I have had was when I flipped my car on Waipuna Road in Wellington while I was at Victoria University.
Use my sample above to write your own introductions. You will then say it out to us on the Zoom meeting. All the best!
