Activity 2: Overcoming Adversity

When I came to NZ from Nepal for the first time, I was 4 years old and my English wasn't very good. I didn't get outside much, so I didn't have a chance to talk to other people and practice English. I started School. It was difficult for me to understand all the things what teachers said and friend spoke about. My mum used to stay with me for a few hours at my school for translation to me.  One teacher taught me English for a few months at my school. That really helped me to develop the confidence to speak English. Gradually, my English got better and better. I adjusted to school nicely. I have a best friends and many good friends. I was upgraded to the year 2, 2 months after I started school. Now I am 7 years old and study in year 4. I am the youngest student in senior hub. I have won many awards in my school.
