“I always love politics and anything to do with Fijian affairs or the education system,” he said.

He said he was inspired by leaders who have great influence.

“I have always been inspired by the leadership of the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern,” he said.

“Also anyone who is in power who has great influence that benefits the people under their leadership.”

“My aim this year is to influence others to be the best they can be.”

“I always wanted to be like my dad and lead students of a school. I am grateful for this opportunity,” she said.
