Tears, Hugs and Goodbyes: The Conference Wraps up

 

 

The night was filled with group presentations about what they have learned from this conference. Each group had a unique approach to presenting their ideas. The presentations ranged from PowerPoint and video to a comic book. Groups even gave themselves henna tattoos representing the values that are most important to them. The videos that were presented varied from the stereotypes that society puts on young people, a talk show about teen pregnancy, and the reality of having to deal with death. The videos, comic book, and PowerPoint projects were all a strong representation of what each delegate is taking away from the conference.

After the presentations it was time for the talent show. Delegates signed up in advance and auditioned to show off their talent. Each was extremely talented and did a great job of preparing themselves for their big debut.

Singers, dancers and comedians filled the stage! By the end of the show, the time was about 11:30 and the dance began though for some it was time to start packing and get ready to leave. Not many delegates slept the last night; it was filled with writing warm fuzzies, and saying one last goodbye to the friends that they made here in Kemptville. The goodbyes are always the toughest part of the conference, but it is inevitable. The week was spent working hard and having fun, and in the end all the hard work was worth it.
