Imagine Reality
This past weekend was one of the best of my life. Seriously, I am still in shock.
I told you all about my going to the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Conference, a nationally respected program for young leaders in America started over fifty years ago. I wasn't that excited about it. Actually, I was literally dreading it. I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Well, I couldn't have been proved more wrong. The whole weekend was totally amazing. It was four days of learning how to be a better leader and how to make your world a better place. But even better than that, I made some seriously amazing friends.
There were about 200 kids that went (one of the biggest turnouts) and there were groups that were divided into ten people each. I was extremely lucky. I think I had the best group of all. We were called 'Jell-O' and I will never look at Jell-O the same again (in a good way). I miss all of them already, but we have plans to reunite in August and I can't wait.
The title of this post comes from the slogan of this year's seminar, which means that the reality you have now can be amazing and better than it maybe is.
I could go on and on about this for years but I won't because it might make me sad. I seriously recommend looking up HOBY online and if you are a high school Sophomore, then I recommend talking to your guidance counceler about it. It's truly amazing!
More posts later. Oh, but first, a shout out to my HOBY buddies: "JELL-O!!"
