MY STORY

Kia ora koutou, Hello,
My name is Moneel Pratap, and I’m proud to call Rolleston my home.
Born and raised in Wellington. I’m the eldest of three siblings. We didn’t grow up with much, but
those early years taught me the value of hard work, humility, gratitude, and every cent.
My parents, both of whom migrated from Fiji, worked tirelessly. My mother was a receptionist, my
father was a mechanic, and both my grandfathers were farmers back in Fiji. They were honest,
everyday people who gave what they could so we could have opportunities.
I went to Lyall Bay Kindergarten, Miramar South School, then attending Rongotai College. My first job at age of 14 was the local paperboy delivering the Evening Post, going on to working as a car groomer when I got my restricted drivers license at age 15. I'd just saved enough to buy my first car, a trusty Toyota Corolla.
