LC 2011: Reflections





As a student leader and ambassador for Best Buddies Arizona, i can tell you that the Leadership Conference changed my life. I met many new friends including a few from Virginia. Best Buddies Virginia is friends with me on Facebook. I am actually friends with some of the Chapter President's I met such as Ashley Apodoca. I miss my friends James, Ashley and Shelby and I also miss from friend, Brian and the girls I met from Virginia. The girls were really nice to me and I met a staff member from Virginia and they asked me if Maggie is our Program Manager. I said Maggie is the Program Supervisor.

I was able to meet Anthony Shriver, Nicole Raine and Melissa Wong. I shook hands with Meliss and Nicole. They were very awesome.

I really miss my speech coach, Hannah Leary. Hannah was a fun blast to work with and we got to know each other a lot. She came with me into the bookstore to buy an IU shirt on the last day of ambassador trainings. I texted Hannah this morning. Hannah asked me if I was coming back for LC 2012 as she is. I miss you a lot, Hannah!

On the night of the oscars, I heard some of our student leaders say to McKenzie "Don't get us lost, McKenzie" and I asked her what they were talking about. She said she got them lost during LC 2010.


More Facebook News:
I have become friends with Brendan Lemieux from the Kandoo Band. I posted on his wall

Brendan Lemieux

You guys rocked the house on Friday! You amazed me and I loved the songs you sang. I brought your song "Take the Diss Out" before LC 2011. It is a great song!




My new nickname is Karaoke Queen and Tim Bolen gave it to me. I feel like I have quite the voice and am ready to sing more at chapter meetings. Watch out Chaparral.




Student Leader advice from a current Ambassador (I am not encouraging this) but you should branch out and with a different state at night one night, which I how I met the girls from Virginia.
