National Young Leaders Conference Nomination

I have nothing to say but: "Oh. My. GOD!"

I received a letter in the mail today, in what seemed as fancy as white house stationary, inviting me to the National Young Leaders Conference (NYLC) to be held in Washington, D.C. this coming summer.

NYLC selects the top high school students in the nation that have extreme educational merit and leadership in their community, volunteer service and activism, to meet our government officials and president assistants, along with news broadcasters (CNN, ABC, NPR) and other influential speakers.

NYLC starts out with a nomination from someone who works with the student (faculty at the school, mentor, community leader), and then nominates the student as a organization if they qualify. While I am awfully flattered and blown away that YOU out there would want me as a "future world leader", the tuition, I'm afraid, is far too pricey, and I'm not diggin' the fact I have to walk around for hours in dress shoes.

However, NYLC, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and I will be following up on details with my school. Thank you, thank you, thank you to George Mason University!
