Title: My culture and ME!

General statement: Being Samoan is something I cherish and will forever be proud of.
Samoa is a small island located in Oceania in the South Pacific ocean. I am half Samoan and half European.
I am the second youngest 

of three older teenagers. I am 12 years old, almost 13. 

Things that I love about my culture are the food such as 

Fa’apapa and Taro with coconut cream. 

Another reason I love  my culture, is that we are not just a country, 

we have a religion, and that is Christianity, this means we believe in Jesus 

and most Samoans go to church every Sunday. 

I also love Samoan history.
Did you know that the Samoan islands were first settled from
3,500 years ago as part of the Austronesian expansion?
