The Door-By Akanesi

As I was walking down the hallway a door suddenly appeared out of nowhere.It was very colourful and I turned on the light so I could see it properly. I wasn’t scared so I opened it. A young lady came out of the door and said "Hello Akanesi, welcome to the world of second chances. They call it the world of second chances because it is a place for people who made a big mistake and they can change it."

Now I haven't made any mistakes in my past because I am only young. But I walked in anyway. I saw a lot of people in there and it was really scary. She told me the reason I’m in there is because in the future I will make the biggest mistake of  of my life and I will regret it everyday. I was there to change my future and stop the mistake from happening.

Soccer! By Akanesi.

On Wednesday my year 7&8’s Soccer Team went  to Point England Reserve for the Soccer interschools .

We played St Patrick’s School first up. Jessica and I were in the reserves.I swapped with Harris. They were so hard to play because they were very fast and good. Lucky we didn't lose but we didn't win either. The score was 0-0. I was so tired and so were the other Ruapotaka Soccer Team members. Especially us midfielders because we were running everywhere on the field.

It was a great start to the day.

Second At Interschool Football!

On Wednesday, Ruapotaka's Year 7/8 team came second in the Tamaki Cluster Interschool Football (Soccer) Competition! Harris, Jessica and Akanesi from Room 11 were in our team. Lots of fun was had and our students were well drilled, skilled and represented our awesome school responsibly. They were unlucky to lose to the overall champion right on the final buzzer when a 1-1 draw looked likely.

Well done everyone!
