Personally, I treasure a trumpet because it is really important for me to look after because it is history to my family. I actually don't know when my family got the trumpet but all I know is that it went from generation to generation until now. My family mostly plays instruments. So I am grateful that we have this trumpet.
Activity 2: Swimming to Safety [4 points]
Yusra and her older sister were in Syria where the war was. They quickly took off with a journey to find safety in Europe. In 2015, they went through Lebanon to Turkey before departing for Greece in an overcrowded dinghy. They went on a boat but, after 15 minutes the engine of the boat failed. Yusra was a professional swimmer, she made sure that none of her fellow passengers drown. Yusra, her sister and 2 other people jumped off the boat and swam for 3 & 1/2 hours to stop the dinghy capsizing, will saving 20 other people. A year later, Yusra's courage, determination and strong swimming skills were known by the International Olympic Committee, she then became a member of the first ever Refugee Olympic Team. She competed at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016, helping to represent 65 million displaced people in the world. Sine then, Yusra has addressed the United Nations General Assembly and met world leaders like Us President Barack Obama and Pope Francis.She presented with a number of awards and she has been known for her work by Time and People magazines. Yusra now lives in Berlin, Germany and is concentrating on her swimming career. She aims to compete at the next Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. Her message of hope, determination and courage reminds us that those who flee their countries are capable of achieving great things.

My mum - Her name is (Tufui)
My mum works at home. She sews pacific clothes but mostly Tongan clothes for other people.
My mum's work at home has actually impacted my life and my family. My dad was the only one working for us but now my mum is helping him by working here at home. She inspires us to work like her. So I love that my parents are working hard for us to eat and get warm.
