This is a picture of the Titanic. I have always been very fascinated by this ship and the story behind it. I know that this is a very tragic story but I really like this ship and everything about it. I have watched a lot of documentaries on the story of the Titanic and of course I love the movie! There is a Titanic museum in Branson, MO and it is an actual replicate of the actual ship but it's only half the size. I hope to travel there one day and learn even more about it.

This is the flag of New Zealand. This is where my great-grandmother is from and I am very happy that I can say that. This has always played a big part in my life because New Zealand is a place that I have always been fascinated with. I love learning more about this place all the time and I like to learn about the people in my family who live there. I love the fact that I am Maori and not many people around here can say that. I one day hope to travel to NZ and see all of the amazing things that there are to see there.

Subway is and has been a huge part of my life ever since I started working there in April of 2009. I have made a lot of friends working there and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I work 5 days a week and it is very hard to do with school but it has to be done. I love all of the people I work with and I think that are some of the most amazing people I know. This is a very laid back job and it's not like most fast food restaurants. We don't have a lot of rules and most times, we have free time and so we just sit around and have long, pointless conversations. To all of my fellow Subway co-workers, you guys are awesome and I love you all!!

This tattoo means a lot to me. This is my first and only tattoo that I have. I always said that I would never get a tattoo because I thought that they were tacky and disgusting. I still feel that way but not about mine. It means a lot to me and I think it is very special. This is a Maori tattoo. Maori are the Indian people of New Zealand and that's what my family is. My grandmother is from NZ and she moved here in 1947. I always thought that it was very fascinating to be able to say that I am Maori and that my grandmother is from NZ. When I finally decided that I wanted to get my first tattoo, that I wanted it to be something Maori related but I didn't know what. After only a few days of searching, I found this tattoo. It symbolizes family and protection along with wealth and abundance.
