I
am honoured to announce that I have won the 2019 Young Citizen of the Year for
the Bundaberg Region! I was amazed when I found out I had been nominated and
won this award as the news came out of the blue but what a wonderful surprise! I
just want to thank the people who nominated me & the panel for selecting me.
It’s been a hard couple of weeks keeping it a surprise from everyone but yesterday,
receiving this incredible award, it was worth the wait. I can’t thank my
Friends, Family, Bundaberg Riding for the Disabled & the community enough for
all their wonderful support they have given me.
I was worried I wasn’t going to top last year’s
Awards & Amazing experiences but Achieving this in the first month... I am
lost for words!
After my name was announced and I walked across the front I looked
over at my parents to see their faces, mum was crying and well I’ll never
forget how proud my dad looked. In that moment I had to look away otherwise I would
have started crying too. I shook hands with the Mayor and Chelsea Higgins and
then made my way to make a speech which I had not prepared for. I said a few
words and made my way back to my seat to watch the other recipients receive their
awards. The birds were singing and the day was simply to beautiful and magical
to forget! I am so Blessed & Honoured to receive this incredible award. I
am definitely one Proud Australian!
