Today, I was privileged to have lunch with a group of Year 10 students from Warrawong High School http://www.warrawonghigh.nsw.edu.au/ . As a guest of the Beacon Foundation, http://www.beaconfoundation.net/. I sat down with 6 young Year 10 students. They did their teachers and their school proud. It was inspiring to hear these young people talk of their dreams, inspirations, passions and also of some of the issues and frustrations they face as they are on the threshhold of adulthood. Their lives today are so very different to what mine was at this age, yet they are facing it with a maturity beyond their years. I want to thank these young students for welcoming me into their group today and allowing me to share this experience with them. They have given me an insight into being a teenager today and have also created an awareness in me of the difficulties faced by 16 and 17 year olds today in our current community and society. Thank you, Jennifer, for allowing me to be part of this group. Thank you, students, for your wonderful company and friendship. I wish you all the best for the coming years as you embark on your path to becoming bright, successful adults.
