30 Days Until Texas!

In one month from tomorrow, I'll be off to the land of the Cowboys! Yee-Haa!! :) I'm in a student organization at school called Business Professionals of America (BPA) and our National Conference is in Dallas, Texas this year. I compete on a Parlimentary Procedure team and we studied and practiced like crazy and in January we placed 2nd at regionals. Then at the beginning of March, we competed at a State Competition at BSU and we placed 4th out of 10 teams. Unfortunately for us only the top 2 teams make it to Nationals.

Well, there is this thing called "Torch Awards" and you do a certain amount of community service and a whole bunch of other things and you get points for each of them. After you have all your points, you can submit them to the National office to be reveiwed. If your awards are accepted, you can go to Nationals as a National Ambassador. And that's exactly what I'm going to be! My advisor and 3 other girls(2 of them are my best friends) from my chapter are going!! We stay for 8 days and basically just have fun. We go to a bunch of conferences with other people in high school from around the Nation and we listen to speakers and attend workshops and learn more about business protocol. We also get to go to Six Flags one day. It's going to be awesome! :)
