    What a great option of Prime minister and she was the first female prime minister too! Such a great achievement. I remember when she came to my high school and spoke at our school assembly back when she was running NZ. I remember thinking to myself at the time how amazing that was.

    Its great to think that she once was a school teacher... maybe I could think about becoming a prime minister one day! What do you think about that?

    What made you choose her? She would be in her 60s now and on the other end of her career and nearly time of retirement.

    Blog you later.
