When I met Jacinda Ardern By Talia Leach
I work at Rawene Hospital as a patient support assistant. One morning, I went to work and I met a beautiful young woman called Jacinda Ardern, she is New Zealand’s Prime Minister. Because of Covid 19 we did our elbow handshake to say hello. My boss, second in charge to the CEO, Christine, took a photograph of me and Jacinda. On the morning I went to work I did not know I was going to meet the Prime Minister. I helped give out the scones to Jacinda and her entourage. When I first met her, I was a little bit nervous to speak. I said hello to Jacinda, and Jacinda asked me to guess what her favourite scone was. I said “savoury cheese” and she laughed and said “how did you know that?”. I said it was my favourite too. All the people around us were taking photographs, videos, and filming to go on TV. Jacinda is on TV updating on the Covid 19, talking about opening the borders from Auckland also when the airports may open so we can look forward to travel.
