Erin-Jae 1748 State Highway 2 RD 1 Maramarua Maramarua, New Zealand Phone Number: ‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’ erin.jae.aralar @ngatea.school.nz 30th May 2018 Minister of Education New Zealand Government Molesworth St Pipitea, Wellington Minister of Education, I am writing to try and stop you from taking maths away from the NZ schools. Why take such an important subject, when the other not so important ones get to stay? Why? First of all, we are all gonna have to use maths in the future. To tell the time and pay for necessities. We also have to count, measure and tell shapes. What happens if a child never learns to tell the time? Maybe this will: They would always be late to meetings, they will never know the date. The ignominy, right? I hope this changed your mind, sir. Sincerely, Erin-Jae

One of my favourite things to do is design dresses. this is my mermaid style wedding dress.

I think we should have like a student council in Marama, maybe like discussing problems and new set jobs.

So far, my leadership has taken me into the person that I am now, a slightly more confident person who can actually lead people now. As the years pass I've been more confident and open to other people I don't know. I hope someday I will be an even better leader.

I can take lead in my family by standing for what I think is right even if I'm youngest.
