Who was your favourite speaker and why? (Describe in at least 4 sentences).

My favourite speakers were all of them except Jamie McDell, This is my opinion. She ok, she was talking about what she wears a bit much. I thought she had ok advice. I took away was give it 100%, be confident and young people have the power to make a change.

I Think it was very creative of Marcus to show leadership, dreams and goals in a piece of artwork and it sent a great message. It was that with you goals you have to climb a mountain. Get some flow like a waterfall or river, keep going straight give it all your effort to keep you going. Surround yourself with good people that will give you support and help. Marcus inspired me into doing sand art and giving it a try.

Chris Jupp was also very good. He was the bully at all schools he went to, people who bullied him he bullied them back which wasn’t a good way of solving it. One day the school was doing a fundraiser for World Vision called the 40 Hour famine, He heard that if you do it you get a bit of time out of class. So he did it for a whole year and had loads of fun. Then the principal asked Chris if he wanted to help run the 40 hour famine for the school and he said yes. Then he learnt what 40 hour famine was about and felt sorry for the poor all over the world. Then he worked for World Vision. My favourite quotes from him was “Everyone has a chance to change the world” “You can do anything if you work hard”

Who was your favourite speaker and why? (Describe in at least 4 sentences).

My favourite speaker was Chris Jupp. He thought only of himself when he joined the 2011 40 Hour Famine because he wouldn’t have to go to school. But then he looked at a video about kids in Mongolia and how they starved, so he did it for the kids and was made the leader of the 40 Hour Famine at his college. He was a man who gave up stuff for other people.

Shanelle:

What have you learnt about being a leader? (At least 4 sentences).

That you don't have to be stood out, You might be taking a huge part in something but just because you are, you don't have to show off. Always be passionate and aim high don't worry about something you want to do. If you want to do it, do it. Be positive, Because one little thing can change a lot of people's lives and even the WORLD!. Follow what you want to do, not what other people want you to do. Don't try and change yourself, You are who You are, not anyone else!

NYLD was really enjoyable listening to the speakers. I can hear people yelling and screaming. It was enjoyable listening to the speaking because the speakers had very good messages. All the students really yelling and screaming to get the speakers up onto the stage.
