As we were waiting to enter the Gymnasium,I was very anxious,I was hoping
that I wouldn’t get caught on live television doing something dodgy or
embarrassing.When we were finally allowed in a few friends of mine were
analyzing the room to avoid the cameras to make sure they wouldn’t be on
television ethier.The first round of speeches weren’t the actual speeches
they were just the impromptunes.But personally,I thought that the speakers
were doing an astonishing job.There was many students from all the schools
in Kaikohe.My favorite speaking for the impromptunes was Manaaki-tia
who was talking about how a chair could be whatever you or it wants to
be.Although he was overtime he was still very inspirational and impressive
because it was just an impromptu.Then we had prepared senior speeches.
This was the section my cousin was speaking in.She was talking about
‘Maori has the potential to be realised’,But in the senior section it’s really
hard to choose who had the best prepared speeches.Our second day not
as good as the seniors were but they were still good,some of the juniors were
more confident then some seniors.

I didn’t really feel like sitting there for hours watching people talk.

But we were going back anyways.The junior impromptunes speeches
were not the greatest but they weren’t bad nor were the real speeches.

My favorite speaker was Puawai and Kahutiaterangi.Because Puawais
speech was inspirational,while Kahutiaterangi’s speech was funny.

Overall I thought that all of the days we went were excellent.
