The Kiwi Experience

Attending the University of Auckland in New Zealand was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It left me with a new sense of self-confidence and accomplishment, along with a lifetime of memories. My favorite memory is when my friends and I competed in the University's Waka Ama competition. We had no idea what we were in for, we were just on the search for our next adventure, and when we found this, we decided to go for it. Long story short, we go pulverized by the competition. We came in dead last, with a lag time of at least 20 minutes, but we laughed and all had a great time. Now, we have a funny story to reminisce about.
