My mother is Tongan, and my father is from Manihiki in the Cook Islands. Therefore, I am half Tongan and half Cook Islands.
The special thing about my family is that we believe in God. We care about each other, and on every Sunday we go to church. Our family and culture is important to us. We often go and visit our family in Tonga and around here in Aotearoa when we have time.
At home, mum speaks Tongan and dad speaks Cook Island to us but we mostly reply in english.
