DECA Fall Leadership Conference

Last Thursday and Friday I took six girls to the DECA Fall Leadership Conference which was held at the Crowne Plaza Ravina across the street from Perimeter Mall. We had a great time and hopefully they learned a little along the way. We registered and then we headed to the mall for lunch and a little shopping, following that we headed over to the conference for the students to take the Statesmen Test and to get ready for the Opening Session. Following the opening session they had a dance which was a lot of fun and then we finally got to head to bed at about midnight or later. The next morning we had to be up and ready to go at 7:30. Friday was full of different breakout sessions which I hope the students got a great deal out of. I had advisor sessions to attend and they were pretty good, with good speakers and good information. After the breakout sessions they had the closing session and one of my students Gabby L. was recognized for her great score on the Statesmen Exam. This was a great event with some great students. It is nice to see that with all the negative you hear about youth today that there still are good, respectful students still out there and I wish these girls the best of luck in the future and I hope the best for them.
