In 2010 at the age of 11. I experienced a moment of excellence. It was prize giving night. Last year of Primary School and I was eager to move on to Intermediate.
Through out the year my behaviour was average. I had lots of responsibilities within the school. I was hoping to receive one award.
I was told to get
there earlier because I was in Kapa Haka and we were doing a
performance. I
was really excited about it because my mum was going to get KFC if I received any awards. My Nana was there as well so I didn't want to
play up.
Once all the speeches were over I was listening to the names
of the recipients I had a feeling I wasn't going to get anything so I
was feeling a bit disappointed. The class awards were being named. My class was next
and out of the blue the teacher said Shaye Fletcher. My first reaction
was like what??? And all the other girls couldn't get it in their heads, because they thought they
were going to get it and they didn't it was me!
This has made me become more confident in myself and now I never stop believing.
