I have just come back from one of the best things that any high school student could ever do!!!! this super great thing my friends is NSSSA!!!!!! NSSSA stands for Nova Scotia Secondairy Schools Association. It is pretty much a place where you go and have for for the whole time that you are there, although the whole point of you going there is to become a better leader for yourself and others around you. This is my second time going to a NSSSA conference, this one was a provincial conference which meens that people from all over Nova Scotia come together inb stead of a group of people from your school board region. I was at this conference which was named EDGE for 4 days and i didn't stop for much time, the over all amount of sleep for the 3 nights that i was there for was 8 hours!!. The first night i got 3 hours of sleep, second night 5 and the last night...obviously no sleep which i am now going on to the 40 hours of no sleep mark as i type this lol.
Now when i was at NSSSA i played many games and most are the classic such as Pony, Epic, random dances, random songs and chants and clapping for everything you do pretty much lol!
I also saw many guest speakers that were brought in for modivation and leadership enhancing speaches and talks. These conferences have affected many people in the way that it has better thier self esteem, or thier outlook on life and just thier lifew in general. These 4 days have been a great and very exciting!!! The first thing i quickly realized about being at provincials was that you have to be every where that you neeed to be early to get anything good! I realized this when i went to get my first supper and i was playing hacky sack not even thinking about the number of kids that would also want to eat so i came to getting my food near dead last, that made me want to get everything done quickly since it was usually one thing then like a meal or a couple things then a meal. When we weren't eating or in the auditorium listening to people talk we were in our "skill building groups". These groups were the people that you did all the little activities and worked with for everything else. I had 10 members in my group including my 2 skill builders. (the people that lead you every where and take you through the activities) These groups became the certasin people that you were pretty much garantied to get to know. That helps when there are about 700 people at this conference that i went to this time.
Anyhoo keep blogging and leave any questions or comments about any of this stuff if you want!

I don't know if it's the best thing that High School Students could do. Kidding ;D
It's probably some good clean fun though.
Glad you had fun. See ya.
