SEHC visit

Today I got to visit students in the middle school at Sir Edmund Hilary Collegiate in Ōtara. I find these young people really inspiring because they have big dreams and they’re in the perfect place to build on the things their families have already been instilling in them. Our country has an amazing future because of young people like this. One of these boys said to me: “I’m gonna shout out your name when I make it, David!” Another one said he’s going to give me free merch and tickets to his events when he makes it 🙂
