I live in American Samoa. I lived and went to middle/high school in Samoa. I would work for my tuition during holidays. I lived with cousins in my parents villages. I learned respect for my elders, I knew how to weed, manage my chores, and to stay quiet until spoken to. I learned how to sit with legs folded quietly. That is the main core of Samoan culture. Learning how to manage subsistence crops, doing chores and respecting others.

My parents relocated us to Samoas the best move ever. NZ was not to be. I learned the language and took off from there.
