Young Leaders Day 2012


On the 28th of May some year 7 and 8’s from Muritai school went into the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington for the Young Leaders Days 2012. Young Leaders day was an amazing experience, it had 5 people telling us amazing things and stories on how to find that quality and potential in your life and more! It was funny, amazing, shocking and sad; they really got the messages that the speakers were telling us through quite cleverly! 
Speaker 1 Nick Tuitase - “Good leaders know how to spark potential.”
Speaker 2 Jamie Fitzgerald - “ Never let performance get in the way of safety.”
Speaker 3 Cassandra Treadwell - “Believe in yourself and others will too!”
Speaker 4 Cam Calkoen - “Dream big and achieve more!”
Speaker 5 Dave Atkinson - “Stick up for whats right, choose good friends, live for others.”
In my opinion Dave Atkinson was the best, because he was very funny and truly soulful with what he was telling us. He told us some amazing stuff about choosing the right things with other stuff as well like peer pressure. In addition he was so funny everyone kept saying that he should be a comedian! I loved his quote which was “Stick up for whats right, choose good friends, live for others.”
To be a good leader you need a lot of things but I think especially the fact that you need to believe in yourself! Because you can’t really do anything truly amazing, great, fascinating etc.without faith! 
If I knew that I couldn’t fail with whatever I did I would become the best musician I could be, I know I'm already on that road but It’s something that I am desperately wanting my future to become because without it I’m not really the person that I am! Music is my natural talent!
