"It's the inside that counts"
Convention was more than I could ask for. Had the time of my life- made new friends, got closer to my current friends, played the best camp games, got a nice tan, went out to the sea on low tide, enjoyed workshops and played cash&guns (SO FUN. thank you godfather Han).
Besides the theme "Come what may and love it", one other phrase that stuck out to me was "Remember who you are".
Sometimes we get so caught up with work/school, making sure your hair's straight, fitting in and all, that we might find ourselves losing focus on what's really more important: the inside. Check out the shellfish in the picture. It's shell was dry and brown and not so cool, but when you looked inside, it's so reflective and shiny and pretty. I thought that was one of the main points I got out of the convention.
It was interesting to compare YC and Convention. In convention, testimony meeting went overtime (for YC, much time is taken up by the leaders). Guys are so much more gentleman-ly. Bunk mates say morning and night prayers without fail. Leaders trust you more..
No regrets (:
