Leadership

Today we had a surprise assembly in school. We went to the hall and guess who the special guest were?
Everyone was clapping very hard. Why? Not because they were huge celebrities. No, they were Caucasian. I know, it may be hard to believe for adults but most kids think these things are very special.
  So this guy brought his family to our school, and turns out he's the President of this college in Perth. The reason he came to Kuching is because in his whole school, there are only two people from Malaysia. They both come from Kuching, and they were academically outstanding on campus.
  So the student he brought along with him was someone who used to study in the school I am currently studying in. His name was Nigel Lo. One of his traits that impressed me the most was not the fact that at a 20-something age he managed to create clubs and add them to college curriculum...no...although that is quite cool too...No, the thing that amazed me the most is that he managed to remember all the names of the people on campus in one year.
   He told us a story about a woman who helped a 17 year old autistic kid pass his exams. This kid had passed his Standard 1 exams 4 times in a row. With the help of this woman, he passed.
  He also told us how he helped change lives and give people new directions. He said that he would try and arrange a course with a few of us students, the first to sign up gets in the course. I wonder how he would react if he found proof that even kids younger than 18 can touch lives as much as adults can? How did YOU react the first time you met a CV Kid?
  Anyway, I have my intention set that I get the chance to join this course. :) I think this person can teach us about true leadership and confidence.
 Have a great week!
