My Role Model

My Role Model


This week we started new a new inquiry worksheet. One of the tasks was to name someone who is a role model or inspiration to me. My role model (someone who inspires me) is Jacinda Ardern. She inspires me because of the calm way she handles all the bad situations that have been thrown her way since becoming prime minister. She (in my opinion) isn´t the type to give up easily, many inevitable crises have happened since she became prime minister (examples, the Christchurch mosque shootings, Whakaari/White Island volcano eruptions and the COVID-19 outbreak) but she perseveres through all the tough times and helps get New Zealand through them too. That is why Jacinda Ardern is my role model and someone who inspires me a great deal.

  1. What a fabulous role model you have chosen Kelsey! The examples you have given are difficult enough to deal with on a personal level, but to lead a nation of people through these crisis' takes an extraordinary person. Do you know anything else about Jacinda's background that may have contributed to her being such a remarkable leader?

    1. Hi Mrs O'dea!
      Thank you for agreeing with my choice! Something else that inspires me from Jacinda Ardern, was when she was little she lived in the centre of a place filled with gang activity, that eventually led her to become a politician. What do you think of that?

  2. I did not know this. That could perhaps explain why child poverty is a big passion for her. Its quite often our childhood experiences that influence our passions as we get older. Fantastic work Kelsey!
