Disney--the Good 'ol Days

''It's the circle, the circle of life''

Oh wow. How i miss being a carefree child---watching classic Disney movies all day!
*SIGH*

I think the lessons those movies thaught us were INVALUABLE!
I mean, consider the children of today, having to grow up with role-models such as 'Ben 10' and 'Bratz'---i feel so sorry for them! That's exactly why they are so..aggressive? rude? mature?

I can tell you, my role-models were Jasmine (the independent princess who refused to have an arranged marriage--but rather--followed her heart), Ariel (who was so determined to be a human---she never gave up, even if it meant sacrificing everything she had), Cinderella (who was treated to badly by her own family, but perservered through it and never gave up) and ofcourse, Poccahontas (who stayed true to her culture and background and defended her people, even if it meant she was treated as a 'savage'). They are true representatives of the 21st century women, whom every young girl should strive to be like.

My favourite movies were definately 'The Lion King', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Alladin', 'Cinderella' and 'Poccahontas' to name a few.

I think that even though it is seen as naive and ignorant to think that 'Happily Ever Afters' really do happen, the possibility and hope that Disney movies gives every child is priceless--and, well, how can we be suuure that happily-ever-afters are impossible....

Leadership

I have recently been inducted as 'Head of Culture' for 2011

According to my principal's speech, a leader is someone who has:

• Vision: yes, a vision is very important when being a leader--you need to know where you are going so you can lead your team in that direction.



• Passion: you need to WANT to do things, then you shall be successful.



• Follows the school's motto of "Honour Before Honours" --- meaning we should put the school and others before our own needs.

I think leadership is important at schools, because it prepares you for the future; however, i think everyone should get the opportunity to exercise some kind of leadership while at school.

We are not meant to be the elite of our school community---but that is exactly how we are depicted. I think our duties are a bit hypocritical.

Nevertheless, it is an exciting journey which I'm thoroughly EXCITED to embark on.

I love organising, planning, and running events. I love encouraging learners to join the amazing societies we have. I love being at the centre of such a diverse pillar--the cultural pillar :)

Here's to making 2012 an amazing year of leadership!
