 Hello, Readers!

In English class, we are writing an essay about who we think is the most influential person in New Zealand and I'm gonna be showing you all my essays about Jacinda Ardern.

When you think of New Zealand’s most influential person you would probably think of Jacinda Ardern. Jacinda Ardern is New Zealand, current prime minister. She was born on 26 July 1980 in Hamilton.  Jacinda grew up as a Mormon in rural Waikato. Her father worked as a police officer and her mother worked as a school catering assistant. 

Jacinda started her political career in high school. Jacinda was awarded 210k NZD from Harvard University in America. She joined the New Zealand labour party at the age of 18. Jacinda Ardern became the world’s youngest female head of Government at the age of 37. 

Jacinda Ardern did an amazing job of keeping everyone safe and not letting the coronavirus spread. When it’s level 2 Jacinda made people who take public transport wear masks so if they were infected with the virus they don’t spread the virus to other people. In an emergency text message to the resident, Jacinda said “This is a message for all of New Zealand. We are depending on you," it read. "Where you stay tonight is where you must stay from now on. She fixes the lockdown really well by not letting people leave their houses to see their loved ones and telling people not to panic and stayed calm. 

March 15 2019 was a tragic day for the Muslim community. A terrorist attack in the Muslim mosque in Christchurch. 51 people were killed and 40 were injured. Jacinda wore a Hijab to respect the Muslim culture. Jacinda Ardern did an amazing speech describing the shooting that happens at 2 mosques.

All the hard work and all the good decisions making she did for our country made her the most influential person in New Zealand.
