Boise State Student Council Conference

The Junior and Senior Student Council members left at 10:15 on Thursday the 13th to head for Boise for the"iLead", state student council confernce. We had a three hour bus ride on a School Bus that wasn't the funnest but you got some time to sleep which was nice. We got to boise and the first thing we did was park the bus and bring all of our stuff and check in to our hotel (Hotel 43), it was sooo nice the beds were huge and puffy and way comfortable. Though with four girls we could have used a bigger bathroom, I suppose that will always be the case :). Thursday night was really fun because we got to primp and get all dressed up in formal dresses for our first session and dinner, I was the happiest person on the earth because I got to wear my prom dress again and Amy help me updo my hair which turned out really cute. That night when we walked into the Conference Center there were tons of people all of them were screaming and doing school cheers showing off there school spirt after about twenty minutes we went into the room where we had our sessions and sat at a table right up front next to the stage they were playing all the new hip music and all the people were dancing and being crazy, it was a blast what better way to entertain teenagers then with music. We all sat down and were introduced to our state council members had a speaker named Josh Sunquest and he was the most awesome speaker he was young 24 so he knew what it was like being a teenager he was way funny and told us all of his halirous stories, he gave speeches on how to better manage our time which seems one of the biggest problems in highschool he talked to us about asking girls out with the famous line "we should hang out", everyone now has a shirt with that exact saying :). After he talked to us we headed to the movie theatre and watched Highschool muiscal 3 again (for me at least), because Amy wanted to go and I wanted to go with her. Friday we were up early in the moring and headed back over to the conference center where again people were doing cheers off the top of there lungs even at 8 am. We started our session with talking about the No means Know program then had Josh speak to us again. We then broke out into breakout sessions were we went to different classes and workshops I went to a rock your school leadership one that ISU put on, then an activities one where we learned fun great activities for your school, and then a leap into leadership which is a mentor program we learned about but during that session we just played a whole bunch of fun mingling games and I eneded up meeting a really cute guy his name was Johnny Wells from Bear Lake and he was a freshmen butI swear he looked like a senior we exchanged numbers and latter that day we ran into him again at the mall. Latter Friday night there was a huge dance on one side of the room and on the other there were like seven different big blow up toys everyone could play on, I mostly just hung out and danced, but it was so hot especially if you tried to brave the middle part that was so tight you couldn't jump up and down but you had to experience it for a least a second then you got out as fast as possible. The next day we got one extra hour to enjoy the wonderful beds then we had to meet at the conference center again for a conference review and a really cool magice show by this guy named Kipp. We had to then say our goodbyes and head home. This was the most incredable opportunity for me, I found just how much leadership intrests me how much I love being able to be part of things that make a difference in highschool, in me community, and even the world. I even signed up to run for a state secretary position.
