2007 International Youth Leadership Conference

Amazing 10 day adventure

May 06^th, 2007 posted by Beth Milner

Well everybody,
I’m happy to be one of the first to publish something about this amazing conference,

I want to start by saying that this was the most amazing time I’ve ever had
and I’m sure you all feel the same way.
The friendships that were created in this conference will never be forgotten,
as we have witnessed with the 2005 Youth Conference participants being reunited.
I know I’m not speaking solely for myself when I say that the things I learned,
the things I saw, and the people I met, have inspired me like I’ve never experienced before.
So anyway..keeping it short…
Thank you all so much for making the conference what it was and remember;

- the happy time in your life where you felt unbeatable
- the Leaders Today facilitators who made the conference 10 times better
- LEV3L - ME to WE - FREE HUGS - Keep smiling =)
- the inspiration we all felt at some point in the conference
and lastly
- We are the change, we are the future, it’s our World - make it the best it can be.

Love and miss you all
Let’s have a reunion in 20 years

Wow… I can’t/Don’t want to believe that it is over. It really was up to this point, the greatest 10 days of my life, and I don’t think I can say anything better than beth, so just look at what she said, and know I agree with it all.

If anyone does not have my email it’s , add me, email me, keep in contact, and why not a reunion in 20 years?

Lotsa love,
Tayler (Canada)

Withdrawl to the max. This week was so… empowering. Thank you all, in advance, for what is sure to be a great life with all of you… this week was only the beginning.

And I definetly do not want to go back to school either. Who wants to play hooky tomorrow? Kidding, but not really.

Much love,
Jonathan

i miss everyone so much
it was a really great week

Kyle Ryc wrote on May 07^th, 2007 @ 11:44

I am in withdrawl too. I can’t even spell correctly, and sleeping was hard without the sound of 100 people breathing around. Of course, I wore ear plugs, and had a nap earlier in the day, but still.

Folks at school still have to warm up to a responsible lifestyle.

And I seriously need some rubix action right now.

reading through all of these posts made me want to cry, a little.

I miss you all so much! thank you for making this conference so amazing. if it weren’t for all you amazing delegates, the conference wouldn’t have been nearly as successful as it was.

you have all inspired me and empowered me, and i question all kinds of things that I used to do. I can definately see great changes coming from this conference.

..and I agree, we have to meet up again sooner than 20 years!.. and a definate yes to a pool party chez Allison K this summer.

I love you all!!!!!

20 yrs is waaay too long we should have one either this summer or the next one

Taylor Jamison wrote on June 04^th, 2007 @ 14:33
