Here above is a picture taken by Helen Li (she waved us goodbye *smiles*). The 7 of us were waiting to depart as some Dexter High students got on the bus too.
We all hundled in Mary's room to play cards right before the dance. We didn't 'just' play around though; we got to listen to fantasic speakers (I laughed so much that the muscles around my mouth hurt), used their ideas of what a leader is through different activites, and ate A LOT of food!
Here is one of the student exchange students standing next to Priya. The Student Exchange students introduced this program, which allows students from all over the world to travel to a new country and stay there for an entire year. Those students spoke with great enthusiasm about their experiences here in Michigan or Canada and strongly encouraged all those interested to go to a new country.
Yes, we did attend a semi-formal banquet on Saturday night! The food was exquisite (the dessert was unbelievable!!) and everyone looked so elegant.
All of waking up Sunday morning at the breakfast table. The empty spot with the food tray was where I sat. :)
After the last speaker spoke, and some reflections were made, everyone headed over to the Cafeteria for the last lunch at RYLA on Sunday at noon. Here we have more Student Exchange Students, and others.
Here we last stood before heading back to the dorms, turning in our keys, and heading over to the buses back home. We arrived back at Huron High School around 6:07pm. Though the Conference is over, what I got from it will never be taken away from me. What I learned on how to be a leader will remain prominent in my memories that will not fade.
