Hello my name is Lynch
I was born in Auckland, New Zealand, My nationality is Samoan, and Maori. I am the youngest of six. I also have a baby brother on the way and five older sisters. Their names are Tsai, Arizona, Deandra, Shaiane, and Jazara. I also have one older brother named Tarent. Before I came to Pt England School, I went to Tamaki Primary School and so did three of my sisters. I don´t know two of my sisters very well as I never lived with them and only saw them a few times, as my other three sisters I live with. One of my sisters has graduated twice from college and from SAS Academy. My second sister is a year 11 in college and last but not least Tsai, I´m pretty sure you would know her. She says you're a fun teacher which I could believe and she is just starting college this year.
I have never left New Zealand and if I do I'll probably just be going to Australia to see or maybe even live with my brother Tarent. My brother has a fiance and a baby named Sofia. I haven't met his fiance. I have met Sofia but not in person. We Facetime them every now and then because my brother is working and we don't want to disrupt his work.
I am a very energetic person, so I´m always doing something even if I´m not doing anything, which doesn't make sense but if you know what I mean it does make sense. When I´m not distracted I can get my work done fast and I don't get distracted too easily but I have my days when I do. I love working. If I finish the work that you have given me I will most likely come up to you and ask to do the work I haven't finished or if i´v finished that I will ask you for more work or just some problems to solve. My favourite subject is maths. I love solving maths problems and do better with number problems than with word problems but I am not bad at word problems. I will still try to solve them, also I dont give up two easily.
