Tradition is important. It shows your strengths and where you come from.
It represents you as a person and shows your character. There are so many
teachings to learn from our elders and pass on to future generations. Leadership
is important so that our tradition and culture stays alive.
Our Traditional ways:

LEADERSHIP WITH FAMILY
I have younger siblings, cousins and aunts younger than me, so I provide
leadership within my family by being a positive role model. I try to do things
the right way so that the younger generations can learn from my mistakes.
I teach them and guide them as they grow up so that they can be leaders of
the future.
