Thankful to my Massey High whanau for supporting me in my first couple years teaching and being the beautiful role models I needed in my life.
Thankful to the Heights whanau for your support, love and light in EVERYTHING that went on for me in those six years. You guys got me and knew my passions and what I wanted out of life. You guys agitated and inspired me to grow and aspire to achieve new challenges and experience heaps of different opportunities. You saw the darkness and the light and helped me navigate ♥️ even if at times it was via brute force and telling me to go home instead of staying at kura for aaaaaages 😂
Thankful to the OC whanau ♥️ for understanding the complex family dynamics and supporting me through these last three years. For encouraging me to give myself love and support and for reminding me to take a moment for myself, rather than putting all my energy into everyone and everything else.
To my English Dept - whuuu -- you wahine are AMAZEBALLS. Love you all so much. I'm always so excited with all the ideas and planning and discussion we have. 2022 is going to be an awesome year.
To all the colleagues and kaiako mates from across the country and around the world - THANKYOU ♥️ your aroha and support mean everything. Ngā mihi e te whanau ♥️
