What I want to see in New Zealand when I am 25 - CohanManguBeckham

 What i want New Zealand to look like when i am 25...

New Zealand as is, does not feel normal. My grandfather has told me, when he was younger, New Zealand was a whole lot different.Despite New Zealand still running through the system of Democracy, everything has changed. What I have really kept an eye on, was Money. There is a common quote that states, Money is Everything.I believe that New Zealand abides to that quote because that is what makes The country function. 

With New Zealand having 3 official languages, It also means there are 3 different ways of living (culture wise). Take my culture for example; The way of living in my culture is buy land, make money with that land and use that money to make more money. Once I have finished, I pass the land down to a direct descendant of my family. But you see, My grandfather says it was easy to make money back then and everything was so cheap. But now-days, as i said, it's a whole lot different.

a very large proportion of New Zealand is homeless. Reasons being, No job and even finding school non-affordable. I've learnt that school is a key part of life, and people that can't afford school is very heart breaking. When finding a job whilst homeless is extremely hard. Employers around this country have high expectations and qualifications in order to work in their specific space. This is something I really want to change.

About me!

This year, i'm looking forward to jump start because I really want to know what gaining credits is like. I want a taste if what NCEA really is. I've never really had someone to admire, mainly because I haven't found that specific person but I know that person is still out there. I've been wanting to achieve my goal  ob being the smartest in  the class, well at least one of the smartest, and i'll be honest, I think i'm almost there. There are many more things to look forward to in my life its just I can't think about it and that's it for now.

All about me

Kia ora, My name is Cohan Mangu-Beckham and I am 12 years old and I currently attend Bay of Island College. I have 2 sisters, no brother and we are all part Maori and part Cook islands.As time proceeds throughout my years at Bay of Islands College,  I improve more and more. Right now, I don't think I am good at anything but as time flies by, I can be. Once I started Bay of islands college, I set myself some goals. There was one in particular. That was to never get off task and always stay focused.Not long ago, I set myself a future job and that job was to be a builder. Now to be a builder, you must be good at maths and I think that i'm a pretty decent mathematician. I really hope I achieve these goals and I look forward to see I do.

Kawakawa Clean up - CohanManguBeckham

Year 9 students clean up Kawakawa

On the 8th of September (Monday) was the beginning of “Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week”. My teacher figured, “Why don't we go pick up rubbish”. My class didn't mind because we are helping the community. My teacher then organised a day to go and pick up rubbish.

We had a designated area to search for rubbish. That was three streets in Kawakawa. Commercial, Church, and Albert street. Every student in 9R (class) walked along all three streets in search for trash. I ended up finding three bags of rubbish and that was just me. Imagine having 20 students picking up rubbish.

It wasn't just my class that went to go pick up rubbish but there were also others. To be honest, it feels really good to be helping the community, even if it's just putting a piece of plastic in the bin. #save the turtles.
