Hey Readers,
It's been a long time huh? I have been extremely busy since the last time I blogged. It was so hectic because I had exams going on and aswell as running my enterprise business.
Exams:
I didn't prepare well enough for my exams because I was too lazy and I was just not interested in what I had to study for. I kind of regret though because I had the potential to pass every single paper but I chose not to. Once again, I made the wrong decision. Success determines on the decisions you make every second of your life. I actually regret stuffing up my NCEA because if I studied for every for every paper I took I would've endorsed each level with a higher grade instead of just fluking every paper, ohwell. I have already set up my goals for next year which are : 1. Do not leave everything until last minute 2.Study for everything
Awards:
If it wasn't for taking Business and participating in the Young Enterprise Scheme I wouldn't be able to have a taste of what actual school life is about and my confidence wouldn't have built.
This is going to be a bit corny and cliche, but I have to admit that business has changed my life. If it wasn't for business, I wouldn't have thought that I would have the potentially to have the feeling to succeed in my teenage life, I wouldn't have thought of seizing every opportunity and to go up on stage to get recognized for every hard work that I have put in into my business. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to even meet the acting Prime Minister of New Zealand and shake his hand and to come up to me to say that my business idea is very good. (I regret not introducing myself properly to him. I was actually feeling sick and tired).
Anyways, OHU is the regionals champions and picked up 3 awards.This means, that we got the opportunity to go to Wellington. This meant that we have competed against the winning teams of New Zealand on Wednesday 11th of December. Even though we did not win Company of the Year, everyone thought that we should've because we had such a great idea and everyone said we were excellent presenters.
On that night, we met many important people of New Zealand such as; CEO of Xero, Mike McRobert from 3 News, Acting Prime Minister and many more.
So on that fancy night, we won 2 awards which are Global Sales and Marketing Award and Social Enterprise awards including $2000. We were recognised by members of parliament before we headed of to the National Awards. We felt very proud of ourselves.
This was actually pretty amazing because this has shown me that I have the potential to succeed. I will continue to strive for the best. I hope in the future, I will become even more successful!
BEST OF THE BEST!
