I am fortunate to be in a line of work that crosses paths with many talented, opinionated young people. Even so I was taken aback by a discussion with young people from the young mayor network.
The philosophical atmosphere was set by Matt and Alex washing up while the ladies built the fire. We all settled round mesmerized by the glowing amber, no doubt contemplating about the calories piled on during dinner. It only took one loud thought from the sophisticated Emmanuel Adepoju about his perspective on himself and ambitions to get the young peoples views pouring. I spent most of my time lost in awe at their depth and as always came to the conclusion that this passion and talent need to be captured.
We concluded with Andorid Alex's brain teasing game. By the end both young people and officers were mentally and physically tired. making the nights sleeping that little bit sweeter. What intrigues me most is the way each and every young person woke up with the same level of enthusiasm they departed with. Unique.
