‘I have found a balance’ – Hon Melvin ‘Mitch’ Turnbull
This he revealed during an interview with this news site on Sunday August 23, 2015 during which he spoke about his work in the Second District.
"With everything it's balance. You have to have a balanced life. That’s one of the things I tried my best...to ensure I balance the things that I do," he said.
"For me the order hasn't changed...God, family and then everything else," he said, noting that he clearly has a huger responsibility now in terms of being the Representative of the Second District.
"For the first two months it has been very very interesting, intriguing and exciting. There's a lot of information. I don't mind reading. I love to read of the laws and getting familiar with the procedures. The team has been very supportive and I'm excited to continue to learn. I listen and I take in and I find my way of doing it...my own avenue to reach out to the people."
He said while his new role means a lot of adjustment, it is not something that he would have taken on if he didn't feel he could handle it.
Regarding his brainchild Project Lion Heart, he said that this had been put on hold since it was decided that he would run for office. Project Lion Heart is a youth mentorship programme that Turnbull started some time ago as a way of boosting the potential of young people and helping them to achieve their dreams.
"We are actually going to start back Project Lion Heart in October...running the module that we were doing and in partnership with the courts and everything," he said.
