NCLC

OK, so this weekend i am in Tucson for NCLC or the National Collegiate Leadership Conference. It is interesting, I have learned some new things, and reinforced other things, so that is good, I have also met some new people, which is never a bad thing, at least that is what i keep being told, or reminded by Andres, or happy President here at ASUAS. but the people i met are not horrible, so that is always a good thing i guess. I got a new shirt, for sleeping because it is freakin huge, and i learned about different service projects around Tucson, a few that I would like to try and extend down to Sierra Vista. I have one three community service projects, though they offered more, you cannot do you hours with service projects alone, which sucks because i would have. anyways there was beads of courage, which gives beads for certain things to children in the hospital for a long term, those who are being treated for cancer for example, so every time they get there blood drawn they get a red bead, or an xray would be a glow in the dark bead, and then when they are all done with their ordeal, when hopefully they are healed, they then have a strand of beads, sometimes a really really long strand, that they can use to show their story with. it gives them a way to know what has happened to them. the next one i did was bens bells, and that one is a random act of kindness, you go and you make these windchimes, and then twice a year they take them and hide them all over tucson, and a few other cities, and then when people find them, they take them home. this one was started by the parents of a young boy who died, it was their way of dealing with their grief, and now it helps others for various reasons, it was really awesome. the last one we did was the boring one, it was necessary, but it was still boring. it was done by the majority of the conference attendees, and it was packaging rice, for two hours we sat there listening to a dj who sucked balls, and did a work line packaging rice, i opened the bags, 100's of bags, and have had it reinforced as to why i am going to school, so that i do not have to do that as a living. but it was for a good cause, every bag went to a family who needs help, so i would do it again, so long as i chose it and was not forced into it. the workshops have been interesting, in the first one i learned that i am green, then orange, then gold, and finally blue when it comes to the personality color thingy, and the second one allowed me to watch people tear up boxes, always a fun thing, people making fools out of themselves. today i will learn how to make a awesome powerpoint presentation, or at least i hope i will, and then i am not sure what else, but we will see. alright, laters then isa got to back and find a new place for the car. sad i liked it where it was, oh well.
