Historical influences are people and events that inspire positive or negative change. The effect of the Nazi regime, eventually, lead to the push for Human Rights and the establishment of the Nuremberg Code. This shows negative influences can lead to positive change and that it is possible to learn from past mistakes.

In high-school, a friend and I wrote a list of those in our year we knew self-harmed/attempted suicide. We stopped at 120. When I was 15, I sought professional help after attempting suicide. They told me it was my fault. I should have the right to valid help for my depression.

My personal identity is largely shaped by my family, specifically my cousins. As I grew older, so did they. We grew up together like step children jumping back and forward between mum's house and dad's. My family represent my personal identity, because I wouldn't be me without them.

This is a Taranaki haka being performed by my cousins and I. It shows the mixing of my pakeha and Maori sides, the maori haka being performed in non-traditional dress. The two sides mesh together to form one unit, neither solely Maori nor solely pakeha. This is my personal culture.
