After listening to all these speeches and panels filled with passion, conviction, and knowledge--I felt empowered. I did not agree with every statement made, which made me realize that I need to look at my own values and beliefs to know what exactly I stand for and why. Once I do this, I need to become passionate about these principles and spread them. I believe Bay Buchanan summed up how I feel after attending this conference, she stated " Become a leader in your own right." That's what we need to do as an individual so that we can unite this country as a whole. ( I know that sounds really cliche and extremely cheesy but that's what I think.)
Looking forward to being ready by 4:45 am to return home tomorrow...not! I think I just might miss the metro and not having to drive ( or endure my roommate's driving :)
