David said: 鈥淲hen they announced my name for the Future Leaders Award, it was a profoundly emotional moment that instantly took me back nearly ten聽years to my college days. Back then, I received an award that recognised my efforts as a student 鈥� running workshops, giving lessons, and sharing my passion with fellow students even while I was still learning myself. Those experiences were foundational and carried through into my university life, shaping who I am today.
鈥淭his particular award means so much to me because it feels like a culmination of that journey. It serves as a powerful reminder of how far I've come, from an eager student to a business owner and employer. As I reach the milestone of turning 30, it feels like the closing of one significant chapter and the exciting beginning of the next. It not only brings back cherished memories but also lays the groundwork for what I hope to achieve in the coming decade.
鈥淏eing recognised in this way truly capped off the year for me. It reinforces the importance of the work we do and inspires me to continue pushing boundaries. I'm incredibly grateful for the acknowledgment and more motivated than ever to see what the future holds.鈥�
