National Young Leaders State Conference
Colton spent the past four days attending the NYLSC with more than 100 8th and 9th graders from all over Georgia. He had an amazing time. He participated in workshops dealing with leadership, conflict resolution, diversity and much more, plus they had a talent show and an evening social for the participants. The commencement ceremony was yesterday and it was very emotional, not just for the participants but for the parents as well. I am very proud of the young man he has become and thrilled that he was able to participate in such an incredible conference. Thank you so much to all that contributed funds to get him there (the reg fee was $1,400!). It was an event that will have a positive effect for years to come.

Colton and Megan. (Notice the red eyes.) They had a difficult time leaving each other. Ah, to be young and in love again. :0)
