ʻI ha ngaahi taʻu siʻi kuo hilí, naʻá ku ngāue taimi kakato mo fakaʻosiʻosi ha polokalama ako efiafi ke maʻu hoku mataʻitohi M.A ʻi he Puleʻi Fakapisinisí. ʻI he maʻu hoku MBA, naʻá ku fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e taimi “ʻatā” ko iá ki ha meʻa ʻaonga.

Naʻe nounou mo mahino ʻaupito ʻa e faleʻi mei ha palōfesa falalaʻanga—ʻoku fie maʻu ke u kumi ha ngaahi faingamālie ke ngāue tokoni ai. Lolotonga ʻene ʻilo hoku ngaahi fatongia ʻi he Siasí, naʻá ne fokotuʻu mai ke u sio ʻo fakalaka atu ʻi he kakai angamaheni ʻoku ou tokoniʻí.

Naʻá ku fai ha fekumi ʻi he lotu ke u ʻilo ʻa e feituʻu ʻoku fie maʻu ai ʻeku ngaahi pōtoʻi ngāué mo e talēnití pea mo e feituʻu te u lava ai ʻa e ngāue lelei tahá. Naʻe tataki leva au ki ha senitā fakakolo naʻe fie maʻu ai ha kau tokoni fakafaiako ki he polokalama ʻenau toʻu tupú. Naʻe kamata ke u tokoni fakafaiako ki ha kiʻi taʻahine taʻu hongofulu tupu ne mavahe mai hono fāmilí mei Somālia ko e kau kumi hūfanga. Naʻá ma akoako laukonga, tohi, mo fai fika he uike kotoa. Ka naʻe ope atu ai ʻa ʻema fakatupulaki ha vā fakakaungāmeʻa mo feakoʻaki ʻemau anga fakafonuá mo e ngaahi misi ki he kahaʻú. ʻI heʻene hikí, naʻe vahe mai kiate au ha kiʻi taʻahine ʻe taha. Ne hola mai hono fāmilí mei Maianamā, pea talu ai hono ohi hake ʻi ha ʻapitanga ʻo e kau kumi hūfangá ʻi Taileni. Naʻa mau talanoaʻi foki e ngaahi pole ʻo e moʻuí mo e founga hono taliá, fakataha mo e akó.

Ne u maʻu ha ngaahi faingamālie kehe ke fakaʻaongaʻi ai ʻeku ngaahi pōtoʻi ngāué ʻi ha ngaahi founga kehekehe mo tokoni ʻi he koló.

Ne fakatokangaʻi ʻe he tokolahi ʻo kimautolu kau taautaha kei talavou teʻeki malí ʻa e fetongitongi e ngaahi fie maʻu homau taimí koeʻuhí ko ha fehikitaki, fakaʻosi ako, pe maʻu ha ngāue foʻou, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehe pē. ʻOku mau faʻa maʻu ha ueʻi mei he Laumālié ko homau ngaahi taʻu teʻeki malí ʻoku ʻikai ko ha “vaʻinga talitali.” ʻOku mau ongoʻi ha fie maʻu ke toe fakatupulaki ha ngaahi taumuʻa lahi ange mo mahuʻinga mālie.

Mahalo ʻoku lahi ange hotau taimi “ʻataá” ʻi heʻetau loto ke fakahaaʻí, ko ia ai ʻe hoko ko ha tāpuaki ki he niʻihi kehé mo kitautolu ʻo ka tau ka fakamoleki ha kiʻi taimi ke vakai ai ki he founga te tau lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ai e taimi ko iá ki hono fakalotolahiʻi e niʻihi kehé. Ko hono fakakātoá, ko ʻetau tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e founga ʻoku tau lava ai ʻo fakahaaʻi ʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá ke foaki hotau kotoá kiate Ia.
