I am humbled that you entrusted me with these rich stories and the generosity with your time. Sāmoa as a 'nation' is stronger because of you, continue doing great things for the pearl of Polynesia. I've worked with Professor John Overton of Victoria University of Wellington since 2009. John, you are a true definition of humility, strength and fairness. I learn so much from you and will never forget your alofa and respect for me. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this research and thank you to Marsden for the scholarship that covered all the costs for my doctorate. Dr. Peter Swain has been my professional mentor since 2003 and encouraged me to undertake post graduate studies many years ago. Thank you, Peter, for the hours of advice, direction and continuous support to helping me carve out my career. You are a true friend and I look forward to our next 'Wednesdays with Morrie'. I want to acknowledge my own āiga, my siblings: Rev. Iasepi and Leone and their children Morgan, Eciladen and Graceson; Aloali'i and Marion and their girls, Grace, Hannah and Eliana; Ma'anaima and Alecia and baby Fa'amoemoe; and my sister Vaipousa, her husband Junior Tui and their precious Pearl. Thank you for regularly checking in with me to keep me on track. We've been given valuable tools to love and support each other into our adulthood, and I know my achievement in this journey is our success together.
