I was born in Nelson in 1973. I moved to Auckland when I was five. My parents didn't earn much money, so we didn't have many supplies. My mother got a job and we moved to Sydney when I was ten. We made more money and were able to live well. My father went to Brazil and decided to live there. My mother got ill and couldn't work. I took over the house and worked hard.

My early childhood was spent watching my Aunty on television. She was the Prime Minister of New Zealand. I visited New Zealand to watch my Aunty in a debate and decided she was great. I then started to practice debates on my teddies but as I got older I started trying it out for real on my parents. They weren't too pleased! My mother got tired of my cheekiness and enrolled me in many clubs to keep me busy.

I did many performances and shows and was in the top of my group at high school. I won three speech competitions and was the top debater in my region. I liked starting up arguments about different things, but as I carried on I realised there was not point arguing about what was wrong in the world. It was at that point I became a new person and started making a positive difference at school and to the community.I enjoyed looking after people, new students and achieved the place of Head Boy. I loved English, but hated sport. I was known as a strong student who was firm about his word. Lots of students liked me and I was popular with the teachers.

I went to Canterbury University and did drama courses. After that I went to Brazil for seven months to see my dad and how the council work. I came back and went back to Canterbury University and studied top grade English. I then joined the Christchurch City Council. I really enjoyed that seen as it helped me on my way.

One of my most challenging moments was to climb a 5000ft in just one hour. I believed in myself and made it. The next thing was I had a wonderful girlfriend but she rejected me. Then sadly my old dog Billy died. I had had him since I was eleven years old. Things started to look up when I brought my very own small mansion. That was my very memory. I loved my mansion.

I never tried to get married after my one rejection. I now live in my mansion with my two border collies and a pet turtle called Raindrop. I thought that having children would be bad as I would not be able to give them their needs. I am currently working for the Canterbury City Council for the enviroment. I am enjoying that job, but I want to go further. One day I would like to become the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

Hello, my name is Eggliza. I am Becky's child. I really like playing with my friends, Shelley(Nisha's egg),Eggalizem(Amy's egg)

be friends.

Whooh! Have you ever flown down a line at 50mph! I have. It all started when I decided I wanted to go on the flying fox. I skidded down the hill and landed in a heap at the end of the line. Oh no! I thought, looking at the very long line ending miles away.

Tick! Tick! My watch showed it was ten o'clock. Oh come on. Finally it was my go. I hopped on and got strapped up. A shot of nerves suddenly flooded my body. What if I fell off?  I'd never see the light of day again. Ah, well I'm strapped in. I'll be safe. Won't I? My feet lifted off the ground and off I went.

Whizz! I zipped down the line as fast as a car. I glanced down at the gloomy ditch fifty metres below. The freezing air brushed against my cheek. The tires were getting nearer and nearer. I took one last glance at the ditch below.

Whoop! I whacked the tires with the power of an Apollo rocket. Suddenly I started sliding backwards. Oh no! Oh wait I'm getting off. I don't want to get off. I had to though. Uh oh!  The hill was huge and very steep and the sun was boiling. Meekly I picked up the heaving seat and started to drag it up the hill. That was fun not scary at all, I thought.

The cat in the classroom was sad,

Everyone else was glad,

Then the cat went mad,

And all the children went bad,

The poor cat wanted it's dad,

Just like a small little lad,

So he got out his big notepad,

And now it is never sad.
