Henderika Denise Nepia

by Felicity from Rotorua

Ko te Rangatira,
tetahi tangata kua whawhai ki nga mea tauhara, engari kua mau tonu te mana kia toa. Kaore ia kua whakawa etahi atu i te wa e kaha ana te uaua. ko nga aringa me nga mahi o Te Rangatira hei tauira mo nga tangata katoa kia whai atu.
A Leader,
Is a person who fights against the odds and wins. Who never blames others when the going gets tough. The actions and abilities of a leader is an example for every body to follow

Koina te take kua whiria e au toku Whaea, Henderika Nepia. Kua tutuki ia i ona wawata mai te mutunga o te kura. He kaiarahi maia mo au me toku teina, Roimata. Mai ta maua whanautanga kua manaaki toku whaea i au me toku teina ki tona taha anake. "Ki toku Whakaaro he tino uaua tera".
That is the reason I selected a special leader to me, my mother, Henderika Nepia. She has achieved and followed her dreams, from the time she finished School. She is also a main role model towards me and my younger sister Roimata. Since we were born she has looked after us all by herself "now to my thoughts, thats hard

I whakatipu ia ki te Kainga o Reporoa i te taha o ona matua, Erihapeti Erueti raua ko Hoani Nepia me ona tuakana, teina me ona tungane. I te wa i tae ia ki te 11 i neke ratou ki Rotorua noho ai. He tauira tawhito o Te Kura o Kaitao Rotohokahoka hoki.
My mother was brought up in a small village in the industrious tribe of Tuwharetoa, Reporoa, with her mother, Elizabeth Edwards, her father John Nepia and all of her 12 siblings. When she was 11, she and her family moved to Rotorua. She is also an old student from "Western Heights High School".
