Today we had two wonderful inspirational speakers who put their time on the line to come and speak to us. The first person was Arizona who was great, she has a wonderful family who loves sport. The second person was Kenese or Genesis who talked about how he grew up in his childhood, he grew up exactly like me with a single mother. Andrew Patterson was the person that made all this happen.
Arizona inspired me today to have great confidence and to take the right opportunity when it comes. She talked about setting goals and gave us some great points in life. The first point was work hard in your work and at home to your parents. The second point was to share happiness with everyone and yourself. The third point was to dream big like accomplishing your goals and dreams no matter what.
Our second speaker Kenese, really inspired me how he grew up which was really sad, he talked about his childhood and how he grew up and also talked about taking opportunity when it comes. He was born in Samoa with a twin brother who passed away, he was raised with a single mother. He told us to take the right path and don’t follow the wrong people. Him and his mother came to New Zealand because his mother wanted him to have better education. It took him years to find his path but he made it.
I had so much passion from both of them today because I grew up like one of the speakers. I grew up with a single mother who raised me and fed me and kept me wealthy. Me and my brothers didn't know she was having an affair with another man which was great. Ever since he came in my life my mum has been the happiest woman in the world. Thank you so much to Andrew Patterson for putting this event together.
