Doing the Karanga the first time ever.
===doing the karanga the first time was scary i didn't believe myself but aunty Piri and Mrs Hales believed in me in me and said that i can do it. I believed in myself i stood up in the wharekai. i thought to myself oh my gosh. I looked out into the crowd. there were my Nan's, aunties, sisters and my Mum. i stood up. i had butterflies in my stomach. they were tingling.i stood up straight and let a very high pitch voice come out of my, i was amazed. it felt really awesome because i did the karanga for our school our school was behind me so i tried doing my best after i did my first karanga at the marea people told me that iwas great. it made feel proud of myself. i still get nervous now when i have to do the Karanga because i know that i can do it ith my beautiful voice and one day i would like to sound like Nanny Raina and my tupuna who went before me, Nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai.===
