Te Taha Hinengaro Positive Thoughts - Homework

Te Taha Hinengaro Definition: Hinengaro symbolises the act of courage and positivity. The
act of courage is attempting new beginnings, continuously interacting with others, to use
your wits and even to stay positive. Courage can take a long time to become natural to a
person's life. It took me years to muster enough courage just to order my own food at a
fast food restaurant. Every time my Mum would tell me to go off and order my own food
I would cry and cry until she would come with me and order for me. Years later, I stepped
out of my comfort zone and experienced what was probably the greatest moment in my
history, ordering my first burger from Burger King. I then realized it was easy and was
embarrassed thinking of the moments years before. Courage is an excellent friend to have
it’s what’s made me, well me. I can see this in action when we say the school mihi every
morning.
