Roger´s Career :

2012

Roger Tuivasa Sheck started his career in the year 2012. Roger hada debut on going to the NRL  and playing wing for the Sydney Roosters. When Roger started his career he first played the team the Gold Coast Titans. It was pretty unlucky for the Roosters because for their loss of 36-16. Felt sorry for Roger because it was his first game and probably the Roosters didn't want to let their rookie down. On October the 2nd Sheck´s name was called out for the Junior Kiwis team to face the Junior Australian Kangaroos. The 21st of December was when Roger signed a three year contract keeping himself with the Roosters til the end of the 2015 season.

2013

Two thousand and thirteen was the year when Tuivasa Sheck played the Parramatta Eels and scored his first tries. The Roosters won a massive game with the score of 50-0. That year Roger was awarded the best Winger at the Daily M Awards. Roger played in the International Zealand kiwis for the 2013 World Cup.The Kiwis were facing my homeland, Samoa. The Kiwis won the game with 42 points and Samoa 24. The Kiwis and himself went to the finals with the Australians. Roger injured his leg later that game and the Kiwis loss 34-2.

2014

In 2014 Roger played wing in the Anzac test 2014. It was unlucky for the kiwis because they had lost a game against the Kangaroos.

2015

The 2015 Auckland Nines came around with the superstar Roger Tuivasa Sheck and the Sydney Roosters. On April the 8th Roger signed a three year contract with the Warriors starting 2016. Roger played fullback in the biggest test in New Zealand and Australia, the Anzac Test.

2016

¨Finally¨ I yelled Roger Tuivasa Sheck is in the New Zealand Warriors. He started with the Warriors in the Auckland Nines. I was surprised when I saw Roger and his good friend Shaun Johnson do the Dab. Usually NRL players don't really do that. There always into raising their arm after scoring or conversion. I think Roger only scored one try. Unlucky Uce.

Whanaungatanga

Whanaungatanga

Whanaungatanga means to me to stand up for others and yourself. Also Whanaungatanga means a sense of a belonging to a group, community, city or nation.

Whanaungatanga is something special because people who are homeless and broke might not have a place to stay in, or have no family to go to when they need help, so people can help them out with their struggles.

Whanaungatanga also works by including someone into a game or their community.

Whanaungatanga looks like this to me, but iĺl explain it in works.

Whanaungatanga is like having good relationship, sharing with others, having teamwork with others, communicating and making new friends.

For example itś like this person is sad so she or he’s blue. One little spark can light that person's world forever.

Whanaungatanga is important to me and it can be important to you.

Camp 2016

Camp Teapot Valley 2016: Sensational sleep-deprived Fun!

Majestic Monday: The Journey to the Mysterious Island.

The Kaitaki

I thought to myself “i think i’m gonna get sea sick” but really I was just fine. We’re on the Interislander and we have the best lounge in the whole boat, some students went upstairs to the top of the boat and  were on deck 10, it was a bit windy but we still survived the wind blowing against our face. On the boat I got given the opportunity to sing in a pub with this guy who was playing a guitar and Keesha. The song that we sang was Marvin Gaye get it on By Charlie Puth and Meghan trainor.

The bus

I like to go on buses because the long rides til you get to the destination and you get heaps of sleep. We stopped at Pelorus for ice cream and some lunch, i was so hungry it was like my stomach was about to die. After that we went back on the bus and went onwards to Teapot Valley.

Arriving at camp

We can see a sign from far distance saying “welcome to Teapot Valley.” We are all excited that we have made it to our destination. We all jumped off the bus to get our bags and sprinted to our cabins to get settled in. Kahikatea Had to assemble out on the Teapot Valley field. One of the staff members named Jarred was explaining the rules of the camp. He said ¨during the day there will be a houter near the cafeteria and that means it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, also Jarred said that we had to take off our shoes, just incase if our shoes are dirty.

Monday night dinner

The first hooter goes and itś time for dinner. We all line line up in our cabin groups and group by group go inside. The cabin groups sit at a table and wait for their food to be ready. Before we eat we always have to thank the Lord with a prayer, so we said the superman prayer and it goes like this. Thank you Lord for giving us food, thank you Lord for giving us food. For the food that we eat, for the friends that we meet. Thank you Lord for giving us food. AMEN! We had homemade Hamburgers with fries. Now that's an old classic.

The Abel Tasman Walk

Itś day 2 and we already have a big day ahead of us. Today we are going on walk that we have never done before, itś called… The Abel Tasman walk. The track is a 12.5k walk which is pretty long

so that would be a 4 hour walk, and when we finish we could have a swim at the beach and then go on the Water Taxi. Sometimes people say that when their on the walk they sometimes see views of the beach, and when we were on it we saw what we saw… the beautiful view. We just couldn't  wait to get down to the beach. We all scream WE MADE IT! We all run towards the sparkling water But then a voice goes STOP. Ms Nui says ¨WAIT you have to eat first ¨.

All about my culture Samoa
