So today, my boss a.k.a Gemma Sisia a.k.a. Mama St. Jude a.k.a. an australian celebrity got called all day to see the President of Tanzania. She finally (and calmly I might add) made her way from the Arusha campus to the Moshono campus and met him at his temporary residence across the street. And being the forward thinking and gracious women that she is, she took a secondary student from St. Jude with her. When she got back we got to hear about the surprise that the student had at meeting the president, got to see pictures, and saw more pictures of Gemma and her daughter hanging at the Prime Minister's house in/of Australia. Gemma is so humble about all of it. She is the type of woman I strive to be. People always say how inspiring she is and she shrugs it off and puts credit on other people. I think this is the way we should all be-- humble, disciplined, spitfire (when need be) and gracious (when you don't have to be). I want to be like her when I grow up.
Who do you want to be when you grow up?
