Hello!
My name is Rebecca and will turn 17 in April. I live in New Zealand in a town
called Hastings situated in the province of Hawkes Bay that has a population
in total of over 100,00 people.
I live with my parents and I am their only child, my mother is a Sales Representative
for an international battery company, my father is an engineer for a company
that supplies food cans to a company that exports some of its products to Japan.
I have 3 pets dogs which I love dearly.
I attend Hastings Girls High School which is an all girl's school. I have been
studying Japanese for 3-4 years, I enjoy learning about the Japanese culture
as it is very different to my own culture. This is my last year at Senior high
school and next year I hope to get a place St George Semors Travel and Tourism
college where I will learn about being in the Tourism industry when I finish
my schooling I hope to work in the travel industry as I like to travel and I've
always wanted to see the world and learn about different cultures.
At the weekend I like hang with my friends and go to work part time in a supermarket.
In the summertime my friends and I go to the beach as it is only a 20 minute
drive from Hastings, the beaches here are beautiful and I enjoy swimming in the
sea a lot. In the winter I like going to Taupo and skiing if I get a chance as
I am busy with school and work.
My interests are playing sports such as netball and badminton I play both sports
for my school. I specialize in badminton as it is my favourite sport and I played
for Hawkes By under 16's a few years ago. As well as playing badminton at club
level I enjoy swimming which I combine to keep fit.
In my spare time I go to Napier which is 15 minutes from Hastings, in Napier
I go shopping with my mum or friends I love to shop mostly for clothes also I
enjoy listening to all types of music.
A special thing you can see from my town is Te Mata peak which is the highest
point in the Hastings locality and you can see for miles to the sea and also
you can see Napier in the distance.
At Christmas time my family and I sometimes go to the South Island to visit my
grandparents who live in the lower South Island in Timaru were my mother was
born, she moved up here before I was born. The south island weather is a lot
colder than compared to up here in the North Island, a lot of people over the
winter time go to the south island to ski as there is a lot of mountains with
snow on them.
I hope this gives you a glimpse into my life. Thank you very much for sharing
a little bit about my life.
