It looks like it was a fantastic event. It's nice to see that students are there to make a difference in their communities.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was able to come to the conference. These events are important to these students and the message of tolerance and diversity needs to be spread.
ReplyDeleteThe conference was amazing. I really hope that the knowledge we gained continues to spread. It's so important to the world that our generation starts this change!
ReplyDeleteThis Linc Connections Conference was a really good eye opener to what goes on behind the scences. Because I was there to help and gfet things together. I had fun and I also was very nervous speaking, but it was a great chance for me. And soon I'll be able to speak in front of teens without messing up so much.
