NYLD (national young leaders day)!

On Thursday the 23rd of May the leaders of our school went to National Young Leaders Day a.k.a NYLD! All the leaders from Rutherford, Batten, Sheppard and Hillary went to the stadium in Manakua!
We all went in Mrs. Gopi, Mrs. Wotton and Mrs. Bodgers cars. 

There were 6 speakers, Erin Simpson, Annette Fale, Dr. Sharad Paul, Dave Atkinson, Juliette Haigh and Cam Kalkoen. There were also video messages from people who are on the news and other tv shows!

My personal favourite was Cam Kalkoen because he had a disability but no matter what he keeps doing what he loved and to this day he is still doing something he loves, and to me that was very inspiring and he taught me no matter what always be AWESOME! That is his favourite word, I like it too. He also taught me that if you have a big dream you can have a big life! Anything is possible, believe in yourself do what you love be AWESOME!

At the end Jamie McDell performed some of her songs! They were very good!
