Connect Four! :D

Grateful for yet another chance to be involved in leadership-ish things :)

Myself, the male school captain Ryan and Sophia, the student association president, went out to a Grade 7 leadership camp and talked about our 'leadership journeys'. I improvised my speech as the whole thing was VERY last minute, but received some nice compliments on my speaking skills, which was very, very lovely :)

After the more formal speaking and all, we went and shared some biscuits and apple and cordial with them and had a chat :) It was great to talk to all these kids, most of them aspiring to be leaders in high school, carrying on from their primary school role, etc. I sat at a table with four students from Atherton Primary, and we chatted about what they wanted to be when they grew up and later played Connect Four. Twas sooo much fun :) I had an architect, a zoo-owner, an aeronautical engineer and an anthropologist sitting with me. Their ambitions were amazing - I didn't even know what an anthropologist was in grade 7! I always thought it was someone who studied arthropods, in my naivety :)

That took until about eleven thirty, then the primary school leaders had to get back to their camp activities. So, we responsible student leaders went to the lake and had milkshakes and chips with the deputy principal and discussed the senior formal, student association, leadership programs for the younger grades, and other such things. Solved the world's problems, you know :)

Well, that was my fairly splendid day. I hope yours was also pretty splendiferous :)
Love to you!
