JOURNEY

• March 1, 2023 – In a recent Leadership Development Workshop, we explored the question, “How can you make sure the pain of your past doesn’t determine your future?” What stood out and meant the most to you in this workshop? Honette said: “This Leadership Development workshop was really amazing and full of lessons that can guide us in our life! Through that training I have learned how to pray and ask God for what you need! Secondly, I have learned that even if you are born into a poor family it doesn’t mean you will die poor. Rather, you have to think big beyond your limit and work hard for the future. Dream high and work hard and God will help you!”
• September 8, 2022 – Honette said the biggest change in her life since the end of the COVID restrictions has been: “I have started saving some money which will help me in the future!”
• September 13, 2021 – Honette shared her favorite song and what it means to her: “My song is “Million Little Miracles” by Elevation Worship and Maverick City: https://youtu.be/Viiw6tGimHo. It touches my heart because it is full of meaning about my life. It is all I want say about how my life was and is…. Only miracles happen in God’s ways, like being a member of TNHF family! This family gives full meaning to my life — financially, mentally, physically. May the Almighty bless you! I enjoy this song and I really like it.”
• July 16, 2021 – Honette shared what resilience means to her: “Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. It is toughness.”
• March 1, 2021 – Honette shares her biggest lessons from 2020: “2020 was the year full of many lessons that are very important. One of the lessons I have learned is that saving is very important because we have seen many people depending for what they have saved rather than another source of income. Another lesson I have learned is about leadership! Once a leader always a leader. If you are a leader, you stand as a leader no matter what the situation is, like the situation of covid-19. The head of a country and other leaders must give the hope and solutions to their people. I have seen the role of leaders in different moments that the country or community is facing.”
• July 1, 2020 – We asked our students what makes them proud of their culture, and Honette said: “Leadership style. I love the leadership style of our country that is called servant leadership style. I try to use this leadership style in my daily life, like in any responsibility I get I try to be an exemplary, and other characteristics of a good leader.”

• February 9, 2019 – When asked to define servant leadership, how that applies to her life now, and her future career, Honette said: “A servant leader is the one who is willing to serve every one with his/her efforts, not for his/ her own profit. I try to apply this leadership style in my daily life by interacting with other people, discussing different topics that are helpful to us, and sharing with them the character of being a servant leader – like doing the right thing, being exemplary, and showing that everyone is important to you. If serving is below you leadership is beyond you.”
