Hello Everybody! Last weekend I got to travel to my first state convention! My mom, Collin and I traveled to Indianapolis for the Indiana State Beta Convention. We had a great time and it was great getting to see friends that I haven't seen since BLC!I gave a speech during the Second General Session on Saturday morning. Titled "All for One," I talked about how important it is to concentrate your efforts to one cause or one organization. When you do, you always have a greater impact and can make bigger changes!
I also talked about my involvement with the ONE Campaign, an organization that seeks to raise public awareness about global poverty, world hunger and disease. It's something I am very passionate about and devote a lot of time to. You can swing by http://www.one.org/ and sign the ONE Declaration to Make Poverty History. I promise, it will only take you a minute!
Collin also got to give Andrew Trimble's (the Indiana State Secretary) inspiration during the same session. I thought he did a really good job! He spoke about how important it is to be able to keep a sense of humor and just relax sometimes.
Congrats to Hannah Mieure, Robert Swaby and Audra Lannan, the new incoming Indiana Officers! It was really fun watching how another state conducts their campaigning process.
Aaron Woodard, Kritine Lagree and Andrew Trimble put together a great convention and I was very happy I could be there to watch them work. Because of scheduling conflicts and my ACT testing date, I won't be able to make it to the West Virginia or Kentucky conventions. :(
Next stop-- Texas Convention in January!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
