FUEL

After my great adventure in the USA Embassy, I came back home to receive an email from the conference. It talked about the registration process and the GYLC facebook page. I did the mandatory pre-registration that needed to be filled 4 weeks before the conference. It was really long and it had many steps but at least I could do all the process while sitting down in my own computer. At the end I printed the confirmation paper and I was finally done. 

Afterward my mom and I joined the facebook web page and joined the group. I started scheming up and down their wall and noticed the amount of kids I would meet form the 25th of July to the 3rd of August of 2011. I saw kids with different names and from different parts of the world. The excitement that fulfill me to see the new people I  will be meeting and the places where they came from was the most wonderful feeling I have ever experienced.

After writing the dates I was going to attend on the wall, I changed to my mail tag while I waited for someone to like my comment. I still had the GYLC mail on and I read it completely. I noticed some kind of homework that we had to do. The FUEL was some kind of survey five peers and five mentors had to fill in about me. I sounded kind of fun for my friends to grade me on different characteristics and my teachers normally do that so they would have no problem. I sent the survey to 7 of my friends through facebook and then I sent it to 7 of my teachers (including our dear high school director Mrs. Kaun). After the week had gone by all my friends had answered the survey and I knew they did because I received an email every time they answered. After two weeks only Mrs. Kaun had answered for my teachers and I thought it was normal, maybe the teachers had a to much to do and they would answer it when they where more comfortable. 

As weeks went by I noticed that no teacher answered it so I started to panic. I then realized I had sent it to the wrong group of teachers so I started sending them to family friends and members and to other teachers, kind of hopeless. No one answered it and my nerves where starting to freak out Until a miracle happened, two teachers had seen their email and they answered it! My joy was coming back. Both my parents answered the Survey too and I was finally done with the stress. I was again on my way towards GYLC and I am sure I am going to rock at it.
