What are your favourite things to do?
He likes looking after our Nana who has dementia and is sick.

He and his friends drunk alcohol in High school.

What did you do for fun as a teen?
He played rugby union and he fell in love with it .

Where’s the most interesting place you’ve travelled to?
To L.A. America. He loves it there because his family lives there and it reminds him of his mum who has passed.

Who do you most admire in the whole world and why?
Jesus because when he was lonely Jesus was there to talk with.

What do you do best?
He says looking after everyone and making sure they are doing the right thing .

What is your favourite word?

What is the most difficult thing for you right now?
It’s believing in Jesus,because every time he sits next to Nana she is not well he is losing hope that Nana is going to get better.He sits next Nana and prays for her and he just think it’s really hard for him to believe Jesus.

What lessons do you think the world can learn from the past?
To keep the past with you.
