 The Australian Awards Scholarship built my capacity to become an effective leader of tomorrow. That empowers me with providing the key skills through understanding myself and leading the team in a more effective way. Coming here and learning has helped me to enhance my leadership skills and I feel as I'm ready to go out there back home and help to contribute to my country. The network that we have created now has really provided us with a space of trust in terms of leadership so it makes it easier. Collaboration, there's a lot of emphasis around that in the university so it inspires me to you know to take that type of model back to Samoa and then try to apply it there. The scholarship has made me realize about the kind of leader I want to be. It has helped me to make informed decisions to think about how to empower people and making a clear vision and goal of what I want to achieve in life.
