My first choice in this situation that I'm about to share with you, would easily be the opportunity of getting to attend the NINJA Youth Leadership Conference in Logan, Utah. I have been a part of that conference for the last couple of years and it has literally changed my life, in such a way that I can't even begin to describe into words right now. It has encouraged and motivated me to be the person and leader that I want to be in this world more than anything else. I have loved getting to be a part of this extraordinary conference for awhile and getting to learn from the best people ever!!!
I really have the biggest decision of my life this week, with deciding on whether or not I will be attending this National Self Advocacy Conference held in the state of Birmingham, Alabama for two days straight. I would be participating in an event on this national level which basically means that I'd be attending classes with 300 self advocates all across the United States and continuing to learn more about being a better leader/self advocate in my own community. Everything would all be paid for including meals, the hotel and everything else you can possibly think of for something like this one, but having said that--It certainly has left me thinking if that would end up being the right decision for me to make or giving this new opportunity a chance to see if I'd like it or not this summer. I would certainly rather stick close to being a Youth Mentor at the NINJA Conference instead simply because of the fact, that it is not such a larger scale with meeting a lot of youth from across the country and taking classes with them. I have a very difficult decision that needs to made before the end of this week and honestly when it comes down to it all, I would rather not feel a need to attend the National Self Advocacy Conference because there is not too much of any thing that I would find myself missing out on.

What should I end up choosing to do???
More about my final decision with whatever I decide up choosing to do & looking at it with a bright smile on my face, knowing that I did what was best for me. I cannot necessarily admit right now that I have a decision made at this point, other than hoping for the most awesome experience of my summer and looking forward to what it will help me become.
