My Mum 

Hi my name is mary. I'm going to be talking about, my Mum is around 35 yrs old, her Iwi is Ngati Whatua, and she is from Araparera 2hrs from Auckland. The two places she was brought up in are Araparera and Otara. 

My great-grandmother and grandmother 

My nans(my Mums, Mum) is still alive! So basically i'm saying my great-grandmother is alive, she is in either in her 70’s or 80’s. My grandmother is still alive now. She is around 60’s or 50’s. I was surprised when I visited them.

They basically live together.

 What my mum’s favorite sport was when she was young.

My mum’s favorite sport was netball.

She always tells me that she was the best. She tries to get me to do netball but i'm more into soccer and swimming and stuff like that. Even tho i like playing netball, but in my opinion i suck at it. 

But anyways, my mum always tries to give me tips of: 

. how to play

.how to shoot 

.what to do

And all that kind of stuff

My mum is kind, helpful, lovingly, sweet and a-bit over-protective.

She always used to tell me that when my 3 older brothers were born ,she always wanted a girl.

And that she and my dad named after my nans.

I love my mum very much.
