The Malaga Talk

Today, we had another talk. Instead this talk is about their careers and their journey on how they came to where they are now. The Guest speakers were Jason Young, Fiona Bakulich and Tanielu Tele'a. They are all related to Mrs Tele'a in different ways. Tanielu is Mrs Tele'as son, Fiona is Mrs Tele'a younger sister and Jason is Mr Tele'a ( Mrs Tele'a's husband) friend. They each had a turn to talk about their journey.

Jason Young is a builder and he was a part of a program and is a mentor for 'Big Buddy'. He has a lot of sayings from his mum. He had a lot of courage and he said he liked writing. He went to Pt England School and Tamaki College. He didn't go to University and he regretted that he didn't go but he was grateful for the teachers at PES and TC. We learnt that we should not let our job define who we are.

Next speaker was Fiona Bakulich. As I said before she is Mrs Tele'as sister. She is a funeral director, she is even in a TV program which is called 'The Casketeers'. She didn't have any troubles with taking care of the passed bodies because growing up she had to do jobs like wheeling out the dead bodies for her parents appointments with the passed member's family. She grew up having a good heart and being really kind. She went to Grey Lynn primary and Mangere College and Ponsonby Intermediate.

Lastly we had Tanielu Tele'a. He is a new member of the Blues. His family and his schools which were PES and St Kent's College were very proud of him. He had a grateful personality and loved everything whether it was non sport related. He participated in lot's of sports during his primary years. We learnt from him to try everything even if you are not good at it!

We loved the event and loved hearing other people's story. It was very inspiring and would like to have more people come in and talk more about their life story. Photo's Below!
