National Young Leaders Day

Last week on Thursday we went to a cool thing called National Young Leaders day held at Horncastle Arena.  It was a great experience to watch role models talk, the speech that I enjoyed the most Sala Tiatia.  I felt like I somehow connected with him his talk was something that I could apply to my own life.  He once taught us to listen to our pain,  he used an example upon himself.  He said that they played rugby and he injured his arm in a tackle,  he said that he didn't listen to his arm and he continued playing which made it even worse.  So he said that we should listen to our pain and to not continue playing when you are injured.  In my opinion, I think that he was mainly talking about trying not to be the "cool guy."

My favourite part was watching the skit that Ronnie Taulofomade about him being an "Ordinary Island Guy."  He was singing the song from Moana, Your Welcome.  If you didn't realize already he is the guy from What Now!  He talked about his early life and what molded him to the man he is today.  I found out things that I did not know before.

If I had the chance I would definitely do this again.  It was a great experience coming to national young leaders day.  I would rate this 10/10.  Thank you for listening and bye.

Believing in yourself

This week we have been learning about converting decimals into percentages.  At first, I thought that this is going to be the hardest lesson to learn.  I thought that because I did not believe in myself.  I remember what my dad told me at the start of the week about perseverance before he left so I kept trying and I got it.  It feels as easy as pressing digits on a calculator.  Now I consider myself a pro at these. There are some many steps like moving the decimal point.  But in the end, I had learnt something so I would just like to say is keep trying. In order to get the easy part, you have to so the hard part first.
