D3 A2 - Defying the Odds

Attribution: Stephen Curry

If I were to interview Stephen Curry what would my five questions be:

1. My first question would be: "How long have you been playing basketball?"
2. My second question would be: "What inspired you to be a basketball player?"
3. My third question would be: "What other sports did you like when you were a kid other than basketball?"
4. My fourth question would be: "How old were you when you first started playing basketball?"
5. My fifth question would be "Why did you decide to be a basketball player?"

My Cultural Background: I am basically Polynesian, I'm 5 different cultures.

My dad is full Tongan, while my Mum is Cook Island, Swedish, Pakeha and NZ European.

My Granddad on my Mum's side is Swedish Pakeha and NZ European, meaning my Grandma is Cook Island.

My Papa and Nana on my Dad's side are both Tongan.

Nearly all of my Dad's side of the family that live in New Zealand have immigrated from Tonga. Though Most my younger cousins were born in New Zealand, most of my older ones were born in Tonga.

D1 A1 - Setting Sail

If I were invited to by Nainoa Thompson to go voyaging for three weeks without a refrigerator or freezer, I would bring:

1. Canned Food (corn, fruit salad, soup and others), because they last long, and only go bad while opened.
2. Nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews), because they are healthy and are delicious.
3. Crackers and Biscuits (without icing), because they can last long and keep your sugar levels stable.
4. Dry Fruit (apples, banana), because they are a good snack and won't go yuck.
5. Bread Rolls, because they last a good amount of time.
6. Meat (preserved in sea salt barrels, portable cooker), because it keeps your protein up, it's delicious and it keeps you strong.  
7. Granola Bars, because they are healthy and usually last a very long time while still in their packages. 
8. Potato chips, because they're delicious and cannot go off unless the bag is open.
9. Barley Sugars, because they can reduce nausea if you get seasick.
10. Peanut butter, because it lasts a long time, it's delicious and it's preserved in its packaging.

D4 A3 - Mass Migration

I strongly disagree with Donald Trump, because it is not fair on Mexico seeing as he's forcing Mexico to pay at least $5 billion dollars for a wall they do not want. It is simply not fair, due to the fact he is saying he will not pay a single cent.

On the other hand I think Donald Trump has a point, Mexico could be trespassing, meaning they could easily sneak illegal substances into america. 

But America isn't entirely agreeing with him, seeing as he is demanding billions for the wall from American taxpayers.

I am not on choosing either side seeing as I agree and disagree with both parties.
