Leadership Converse Day 3

Today was my last day of Leadership Converse and it was a day packed of events. Right after breakfast we headed to a workshop about social media. Considering that we were all teenagers, this workshop was very beneficial. They taught us how to use it safely and responsibility. Posting inappropriate content can reflect our image poorly, maybe resulting in our future career.

Later on in the day they told us that we are going to be serving at our local soup kitchen, safe home, and thrift store. This experience was remarkable. I loved and enjoyed helping serve my community in the soup kitchen. It is such a wonderful building that serves so many families every day. They are the reason that most families don't starve. I loved meeting everyone there including the staff. They are so invested in what they do. Each and every day, they serve with a smile and I w find that oh so very kind.

Next they took us to a rape crisis center and a safe home for those who are assaulted. It was breath taking to walk inside, knowing what they went through. The man in charge told us how they handle situations like that and boy is it amazing. They also have a thrift store right behind the safe homes, where anyone can shop and any time. It comes in handy, especially in emergency situations.

After dinner, we ending the night with a confident booster. They taped each and every one of our pictures on the wall and handed all of us sticky notes. They then said to go around the room and write a nice comment about that person. It was amazing. It was genuine, and it made us all so happy. We were happy to write the comments and we were happy to receive the comments. It was a great way to end our thrilling and empowering journey through Leadership Converse.
