young leaders

All the year six's this year went to young leaders just like last year.  young leaders is held in duniden. It's a conference we went to and I learnt alot about leadership. We had people from all places come in and talk to us about their dreams and acomplishments.  My favourite talker was Alison Shanks.
Because she use to be a net ball player but she got sick of sitting on the bench all the time, so she started cycling and now she is a world champion cyclist. She tells us how she alwaysgot nervouse about the beeper that goes off before the race, so she recorded it and started listening to it in the hotel she was staying in to get use to it. She used to get complaints that everyone could hear it and it was making them all very nervous. Now she is not very nervouse about the buzzer any more. She has also had some crashes but that is another story.

When we were up in duniden we also went to discovery world, we stayed the night over there and played with all the stuff they have their. The next day we went to the butterfly place and I saved a butterfly from dying because it was in a pluddle of water and I put it on a dry rock to dry and I think it is now living today. We also had a maori lesson and learnt lots about their culture. Last of all for our visit we went to the pool and then went home. We had a great two days and I learnt lots about all different types of leadership.
