Bragging!

A few weeks ago I submitted an application to attend the GLSEN Safe Schools Advocacy Summit in Washington DC. There is a pretty intense interview process to get to attend since they can only send 18 students and 20 adults and if you get picked they pay to fly you there, put you up in a hotel, feed you and you attend a 4 day summit. So, that's less than 40 people nation wide that get picked. I figured I might get as far as a phone interview but applied anyway. I knew the phone interviews were going on earlier this week and my phone never rang so I assumed I wasn't picked but then I got an email from GLSEN last night congratulating me! I was picked! I'm in! I'm going to DC for 4 days to attend a Safe Schools Summit! YAY!!! I filled out and turned in the paperwork this morning and they will be making travel arrangements for me and my tickets will arrive in the next week or so! The conference is about 3 weeks away. It's going to go fast! Neat!
