Sarah O'Flaherty - TV and Radio Presenter
Sarah is a TV presenter for STV's Scotsport and also a presenter for Radio Clyde. She works in Glasgow and was a Guide."Be enthusiastic and do whatever you do to the very best of your ability. It's the little steps that take you to your dream."
Welcoming…Humorous….Rain…Talent….Football
I was in holiday in South Africa and went back to a jewellery shop owned by an Irish family. Nelson Mandela was there, so I had the chance to meet him. I was completely blown away - he is such a lovely and inspirational person.
In 2003 I went with Radio Clyde to Seville to see Celtic play Porto in the European Cup Final - which they hadn't done for 33 years. So there I was with 80,000 Celtic fans. Though they didn't win it was an incredibly amazing experience and I was delighted to have that opportunity.
I'd like to cover the Ryder Cup, that would be really interesting.
How to be a good team player, listen to and help others. It was an opportunity to find out about other people and how with them. It put me in good stead for the work place where all those things are important.
I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for my mother. The patience and energy she put into our family (me and my three brothers).
Its only looking back that I realise what a tough job she had keeping a family of six together - giving advice and teaching us values and morals.
She is still my inspirational and my best friend.
I think I've learned that not one of us is perfect and when you accept that about other people and yourself then you aren't so judgemental.
Life is a Rollercoaster by Ronan Keating. Life is a like a rollercoaster - there are good times and bad - you just have to ride it and do your best whatever experiences come along. Learning and loving - that's what's important
Firstly - follow your dreams and believe in yourself. Understand though that it's the little
steps that take you to your dream. On a practical level try and get as much work experience
as possible.
Submit your writing to magazines and papers - you never know. Also - and this is vital - take
the direction and advice that is offered to you by those.
Also whatever you do in life - whether its at school, at work, always be enthusiastic and do whatever you do to the very best of your ability - however small or unimportant the task may seem to be.
Finally treat everyone well on your way up as they might be the people you meet on the way down!
It would be divided into two - UNICEF because children are our future and we often forget how lucky we are to be able to sleep, drink and eat when we want.
Jack Nicklaus - somewhere in Florida would be great.
Elton John - Looking for Love
James Blunt - Beautiful
Andrea Bocelli - anything from him
In Ireland because it's a beautiful place and that's where my family are.
Last weekend with my brother (Timothy O'Flaherty) who's a Stand Up Comedian who was reminding me of "make do days" - when my mother would just cook meals from whatever was left in the kitchen.
