Amanda Landzaad from TY
Ireland had an opportunity to
spend a morning with Jiang
at her school to discuss her
role and her relationship with
the TYI team. She asked Jiang
about her appointment as TYI
Ambassador;
!
I am a big advocate of the idea
that education should be
wider than a classroom. We
learn from everything, not
just textbooks.
One of my goals this year is to
also have fun and to enjoy the
year, before the dreaded
Leaving Cert.”
