“It’s the end of tough journey and the beginning of another journey academically,” she said yesterday, during the College’s prize giving.
“This is for my dad, he’s always [been] there for me from the start,” she said with tears in her eyes.
“This is my only prize giving he missed out[on in] all the years of my journey.”
The 17-year-old said her son, Moses Wilson, had helped her in her schooling too.“My son motivates me in school, now that my dad is gone.”
Ms. Wilson started off in year 10 at Fa’atuatua College, after having her son.
She said being part of Fa’atuatua College felt good, and she had made good friends and good memories during her time at the school.
In her farewell speech, she thanked the Principal, the teachers, her family and the rest of the graduating class for 2015.
“There is nothing that can hold you back.”
Ms. Wilson is the daughter of the late Filoitumua Dick Wilson and Laina Wilson of Vaivase-Tai.
She said she has no plans for her future yet, and for the time being will be living in the moment and enjoying life.
