Adi Alisi Neisulu is stepping into her role as the Head Girl of Adi Cakobau School, where she aims to excel both academically and in sports throughout the year. The 18-year-old, who recently debuted with the national netball team, the Fiji Pearls, at the PacificAus Sports Netball Series in Brisbane, was inducted into her leadership position at a ceremony in Sawani.
Expressing her optimism for the upcoming year, Ms. Neisulu is committed to enhancing the school’s academic standing and fostering a positive environment that allows all students to recognize their potential. Her experiences as deputy head girl last year have equipped her with the skills needed to take on this prestigious role, which she acknowledges comes with significant expectations and responsibilities from peers, faculty, and administrators.
In her words, “It’s not easy being the head girl of the school. Everyone is looking to you to lead and uphold the school rules and standards.” Despite the challenges, she emphasizes the importance of effective time management and diligence in fulfilling her responsibilities, stating, “I just keep working hard, managing my time wisely, and staying diligent with my responsibilities.”
Her journey is inspirational, highlighting the delicate balance between managing a rigorous academic curriculum and competitive athletics. Ms. Neisulu encourages young athletes to pursue their dreams with determination, echoing, “Without determination, you cannot start. If you want it, go for it.”
Alisi’s commitment to leadership in both sports and academics shines a light on the potential of youth in Fiji. The determination she demonstrates serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring her peers and future generations to strive for excellence in every endeavor.
This story resonates with similar narratives of young leaders across Fiji, such as those from All Saints Secondary School and Waiqele Primary School, where students are taking on leadership roles while navigating personal and academic aspirations. The collective experiences underscore the resilience and ambition of Fiji’s youth, affirming that, with dedication and community support, remarkable achievements are well within reach.
