NYLD National Young Leaders Day
On the 28th of May 2012 Muritai Schools Year 7 and 8 went to NYLD Nation Young Leaders Day on the bus. We left at 8.30am and got there at 9.30am we arrived to find lots of other schools waiting to come in to the hall to get to there seats. When it started two famous people that are presenters on shows came out and told us every thing that was going to happen and other activities. First Nick Tuatasi came out and told us about some life and death situations that have happened in his life, and even some funny moments but his main point was to tell us about SPARK. The second person was Jamie Fitzgerald who came and told us his world record about going to the south pole for 56 days with his friend Kevin Biggar from the edge to the middle, and his rowing career. His main point was, never let performance get in the way of safety, and how much effort have you put in. Third was Cassandra Treadwell who told us about her charity in Kenya who helps kids that need help from war that has happened and she has built a school, orphanage and nursery. Her main point was, believe in yourself and others will to. The fourth person was Cam Calkoen who was my favorite out of all the five people, he is a famous runner for New Zealand but has cerebral palsy which is a type of disorder which causes brain and nervous system functions such as movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking. His main point is Dream big and achieve more. The last person we had was Dave Atkinson who was really funny in every ones eyes, he made a penguin out of a banana, telling us his really embarrassing story from when he went on a trip with his friends, and told us some facts for in the future. His main points were, to stick up for what's right, choose good friends, and live for others. After that we went back to school and went straight home.
The things that I think make a good leader are, living for others, believe in everything everyone says, not to boss people around, and to try and make everything right. The way I think that people could do all this is by listening to everyone and never give up. There was something that someone at the NYLD asked us, what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? Everyone was thinking about this in there heads and I answered it like this. I would be a famous football player and never lose a game in my life.

Kirrin’s dad and mum are named Kathy and Bruce.But they have spilt up and have new partners, Kirrin lives in Eastbourne with her mum.
Kirrin’s first kindergarden that she attended was in London, the kindergarden was called England Nursery. When Kirrin was three the caregiver released that Kirrin’s right eye went off to the side, and that’s why Kirrin needed to wear glasses. When Kirrin was five her parents broke up and she moved with her mum brother and sister to Auckland. This was a big change to Kirrin’s family, Kirrin misses her dad who still lives in Poland, but now Kirrin’s mum and dad have new partners. Her mum has a fionce in Eastbourne, and her dad is married with a women in Poland.

They are called The British School of Warsaw in year one, Maungawhau School in year one to five, San Antonio in year six, and right now Muritai School in year seven. In year one Kirrin started to write at her school and really enjoyed it, Kirrin said to me ‘When I get older I want to be a author’ and she also said. ‘I have written eight books, Fiction and Poetry ones’. This is a example of what she has done. When Kirrin was young she was in the New Zealand herald for a competition called, The Sustainability Challenge which she won, at the age of eight at maungawhau primary.Kirrin also played hockey at eight, she really enjoyed this because her brother played, but had to stop at ten years old because her mum found it really hard to get Kirrin and her brother to hockey.
In the future Kirrin want’s to be a author or a musician, Kirrin could easily become either of these because she enjoys both and is very good at them. Kirrin plays three different musical instruments, Piano, Guitar, and Marimba. These are all hard instruments to play but she plays them really well. In the end Kirrin has the chance to a successful career or even be famous for her book studies.
