the honorable, beautiful, and highest
Minneapolis was wonderful.
I got to play a bigger role than last year, and even got to give a short speech in front of all 600 women that attended the conference. I ran all the media, and I received so many gracious compliments on my work. I got to run the sound board for Jana Stanfield, a motivational speaker/singer/songwriter, who performed on the last night. I had a great time with Lacey, the other intern, who is hilarious and crazy and a huge help and so much fun. I worked with the biggest names in Kappa Delta, women whom girls line up for hours to meet, the National President and Council, and other really important, fabulous women. I love that job. It definitely stressed me more than ever before, but no matter how much stress I'm under beforehand, I always, always feel like I get so much more out of going to the conference than i could possibly put in. It's just so nice to see what great things our national organization is doing, from collaborating with Dove, Avon, Sephora, Suzy's Zoo, Vera Bradley, and so many more companies to promote positive self-esteem and friendship among women, to giving almost 8 million dollars to Prevent Child Abuse America, to awarding over $100,000 in scholarships to our members. And those make up just a tiny tiny fraction of all that KD is doing. It makes me sooo soo proud. Lacey and I were joking with Melanie and Cindy, two of the execs at headquarters, saying that we wanted to be the next Melanie and Cindy. They laughed and said it would be a wonderful idea. And the more I think about it, the more I like the thought of it. :-)
So basically...I love Kappa Delta. It truly is doing sooo sooo much good as a national organization. And I feel really blessed and lucky to be a part of it. Hopefully this is just the beginning!

And this is one of my new favorite quotes, from Pearl S. Buck, the author who is a Kappa Delta! "The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation."
