OPINION

Thank you Richshea Webster for sharing your journey from rock bottom drug addition to where you are now (News, June 21).

You showed the way, with support and help, how to break free from addiction and how to turn your life around.

One has to walk a mile in your shoes to truly know the strength and support required to get to where you are today.

Stay the course Richshea and all others that have walked your walk - keep inspiring others to follow your path.

Richshea, Michelle Ramea and others that have turned your lives around, you give me great hope for the future guardians of our beautiful country. Noho Kaha (stay strong).

City needs an attitude check

What is going on with our once vibrant city?

Empty shop premises, businesses that should be providing service on a Sunday over a long weekend, closed.

Recurring flooding in areas that badly need attention.

Deteriorating roading, friends departing to greener pastures down south, a councillor resigning.

There needs to be a change of attitude. I quote the Rotorua Boys' High motto: Ad Astra per Aspera. To the stars through hard work.

Come on Rotorua, let's go shopping!
