‘You have the power of choice,’ St. Leonard’s boys told

THE students of St. Leonard’s Boys’ School will benefit from the Power of Choice programme, which was launched at their institution yesterday.

Managing Director of the Freemind Institute, and President of the Power of Choice Inc., Errol Griffith, told the young males attending the institution that they have the power to make the right choices in life, starting from a young age.

During a pep talk, Griffith told the students that the choices they make now will determine their destiny.

“Your happiness and your joy in life are all related to the choices you make. Every choice has a consequence. The only way that you can get good consequences is if you always make the effort to make good choices. The only person in this world that you can control, is you,” Griffith said.

Former student, Samuel Boston, who benefited significantly from the programme which teaches students key principles including the power of choice, making wise choices, and overcoming mistakes and working with others, also encouraged the boys at St. Leonard’s to walk along the right path.

“You have to make positive choices. I have come from being more or less shy in public, because I chose to work on those things and improve myself. I got better to the point where I could have represented Barbados at the Global Young Leaders Conference in 2016,” Boston said. (AH)
