In room 9, we learning about immigration and migration we have been talking about different students that have moved to New Zealand. I chose to talk about Ane. 

Ane.

Ane lived with her mum and little sister near Cape Town in South Africa. In 2017 her mum decided she wanted to give her daughter a better chance of going to university.

She was very scared because she did not know much about New Zealand and she did not want to leave her country and her friends. 

She said life in South Africa was very hard for her and her family. She was scared because when she starts a new school, her English might not be the best.

Ane said there was lots of racism in her home country at schools. Ane says the schools in New Zealand are much better.

They have braai every Wednesday. She says her nanas nanas nanas nana started making koeksisters. They are balls of dough that get dipped into sweet syrup. This reminds Ane of home.
