On the 25th of May, I, a class councillor, went to a young leaders conference. It was all about leaders talking to us, future leaders, about being a better leader. The leaders were world champion cyclist, Alison Shanks,
former policeman, Nick Tuitasi, Highlanders, Steven Setaphano & Alando Soakai, Justin Jones, who kayaked from Australia to New Zealand and more. Alison taught us to believe in ourselves, Nick taught us to choose our friends carefully, Steven & Alando taught us that a good leader needs a good reputation and Justin taught us that you have to plan it before you do it. Other things that we learned are never give up, be prepared for everything and pay attention to what other people have to say. All in all it was a fun day.
