Yay! Yay! It was our Cross Country day on Friday. All the kids from Tautoro School went over to Mrs Paraha’s place for our Cross Country.

I felt happy and excited because I wanted to win my race so that I could go out to Ohaeawai School to run against the kids from other schools.

Our race was long. I was getting very tired. My heart was beating as fast as a motor. My legs were getting sore.

Then I heard everyone cheering. I knew I could run faster so I did. I ran as fast as a cheater all the way to the finish line and I won.

I felt so proud.
