J.k rowling biography.
J.K. Rowling struggled with insecurity and self-esteem issues during her school and early career years. She found solace and passion in writing stories from a young age. During her university studies, she had many story ideas but lacked confidence in her abilities. After graduating and working in a series of boring jobs, the idea for Harry Potter came to her while waiting for a delayed train. She dedicated her free time to developing the stories, finding motivation when she lost her job. In 1995, she finished the first Harry Potter book and sent it to publishers, receiving her first rejection but keeping faith. It was finally published in 1997 and became a global success, establishing Rowling as a renowned author.

The Maori first settled in New Zealand between 800-1000 AD. Over subsequent centuries they developed their culture and expanded settlements. European contact began in 1642, and epidemics killed 60% of the southern North Island Maori population in 1790. Between 1825-1918, 20,000 Maori were killed in internecine warfare involving muskets. In the 19th century the idea of a Maori King was proposed, and resistance to colonization continued despite British sovereignty established via the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. Traditional Maori education was orally based and focused on cultural transmission, while food sources included crops like kumara as well as hunting and fishing.
