ILITE
                          The Intermediate Leaders In Training Event, also known as ILITE, it was the most inspirational conference I've ever been to! It was on Friday, February 3 at Mother Theresa High School. At the conference, I learned that anyone can be a leader and that you don't have to be a superhero to make a change. The motivational speaker was the funniest guy ever! Everything he said was hilarious, but at the same time he talked about serious things and how we can all become leaders. What was the purpose of this? It was held so that all of us can realize that it takes one small step at a time to become true role models to everyone.
                      My first workshop was called 'Breathe Easy,' they taught us some ways to handle stress. I met so many people from different schools, we introduced ourselves and we played games to know more about each other. When it was over, we had lunch in the cafeteria, and there were many performances to watch during the lunch break. The performers were Starchild X, Diego, and many dancers! Every single performance was incredible! It was like a concert during a school day! I enjoyed Diego's performance the most because I was really looking forward to it, and he was the only one I heard of before. Workshop #2 was called 'Who are you?', the people handling the workshop are from an organization called '1Focus.' They told us about their journeys and their purpose. Their purpose is to help a specific place to lead them to a brighter future. This year, they are focusing on education somewhere in India. Many people can look up to them and follow what they did to achieve their goals in life.

                   To end off the day, everyone who attended ILITE joined in prayer and worship to thank God for everything, for all the blessings and to help us all in our journey to become great leaders. I'm sure that everyone who attended walked out with a smile and carried with them everything they learned to be a successful person/role model. There are no words to describe how much fun I had that day, and I will always remember the things Stu Sanders told us about how he became a leader. We should all make a change to make the world a better place for ourselves and
others.
