Where do I come from?
Hi my name is Tevini Ahomana I am 9 years old. I was born on March 28th. I come from a very special place to me and my family. But my parents were born in Tonga so that makes me Tongan too. I have 3 brothers but they are in Tonga. My favorite drinks in Tonga are otai. If you don’t know what otai is, it’s a special fruit drink in Tonga. Sometimes there are dances that have to be done at a birthday, wedding, or a get together. One time I had to dance for my church, but it wasn't any kind of dance.
It was a Tongan dance which is called the tulafale. I love playing games too. My favorite games is Among Us. When I was little I went to visit my Grandpa in Tonga and I also went with my family. When I was in Tonga I had the best time of my life, the food there was different from here in New Zealand but I still liked it.
In Tonga we eat different kinds of food like pork, lu sipi, lamb and we drank a lot of otai. My Mum and Dad told me and my siblings a lot of stories when they were a little kid like me, they said the school teachers were very strict and if you had got in trouble you would have to get punished and detained. One of the coolest things about Tonga is that we have the best coconuts to drink, the taste of it is amazing and it is juicy. I love being a Tongan and I am very proud.
