I am taking part because I want to make a change. I am an 19 year old university student here at otago - originally I come from small town from the North Island. Since coming to university, I have been facing an identity crisis and have realized that there is no shame in being Maori. I want to be involved with my culture and what better way to start by learning my language. I have signed up for te reo classes - and hope to be fluent enough to teach my kids some day.
