the day i touched gold, real heavy gold.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to volunteer at USU's annual Hispanic Leadership Conference for seniors, juniors and even a few sophomores in high school. A good friend asked if I would be a group leader, and naturally I couldn't pass the opportunity! I love meeting new people so I was stoked. The whole day we were busy walking from workshop to workshop, ate some delicious food, played games and took our students on a campus tour. The keynote speaker this year was Derek Parra! He is an Olympic Speed-skating Champion and the first-ever Mexican American Winter Olympian. Whoa. This man is amazing and his story is very inspiring. I recommend you read about him! He passed around his medals and man alive they are SO COOL!
sorry you have to turn your head...
