​

• Thank you for this opportunity. I will forever treasure this  great week.
  
• I really enjoyed the Conference. It made me really come out of my comfort zone. I met a lot of people and had so many great experiences.
• This Conference as a whole has been an enormously powerful experience.
• This was an unforgettable journey and I am beyond thrilled to do everything to keep it going.
• I didn’t really want to come to the Conference at the start, but I’ve grown to really appreciate and recommend it.
• I loved the Conference and wasn’t expecting to learn this much. I met great people and they helped me decide my path in the future.
• I gained insight on different perspectives that I never would have thought about normally
• Interacting with kids from different cities and schools was the highlight of this experience for me.
• I was really happy with how I got to interact with others.
• The most important insight was learning true teamwork; how to express myself and opinions and listening to others.
• The most important insight I gained was learning to work with and tolerate new teammates and people overall.
• I understand that you shouldn’t compromise your beliefs and shouldn’t be silenced by sensitive people with opposing views and beliefs.
• I loved meeting so many new people; friendships that I believe will last for a long time.
• The major strength of this Conference is how they force us to make and greet new people and new friends.
• I gained important ways to motivate subordinates and how to be a better leader in my community.
• I learned the most important qualities in a leader. How I can gain those qualities and implement them in my life and become a better leader
• How a really good team works together and how to be a leader in a group
• The importance of character and competence. You must be good while also acting on your decisions. Also, being able to recognize your weaknesses and taking the opportunity to improve.
• Leadership is the manner in which your best exemplifies your values and share those traits with your peers.
• The insight I gained was that there are many ways to be a good leader.
• It was helpful to be in groups because we actually had to lead others. I learned that you always get through the hard things.
• The most important insight I had gained from this Conference was how to continue to go despite the hardships I face.
• The most important insight I gained is that anyone can be a patriot.
• Understanding patriotism and how anyone can truly serve the country even without military service
• Dr. Dave Keller asked why we were here. Before this I would say I don’t know; I’m not a leader. After the Conference, I feel that I’m not a leader…yet. But, I know my “why”. My “why” is because someone believes in me and I need to believe in myself.
• I really liked the financial literacy section as it felt very relevant to my life.
• I liked how Dr. Joe Sanders explained we needed to find our “why” before our “what” in order to know our purpose and succeed.
• Being a leader is so much more than having the loudest voice; it is being able to better trust people around you and doing it with integrity.
• Leading other leaders is more difficult than leading followers. But, it is possible and can/will be very strong outcome.
• Shifting your perspective and viewing “challenge” as an “opportunity” is something that could benefit everyone. I feel like I have learned to be more confident and see myself as a leader who can take charge.
• The most important insight I gained form this Conference was the idea of a growth mindset and staying positive of the idea of “yet”.
