The conference consisted eight workshops, each different. Each group of students only got to take part in two of the workshops, though.
I very much enjoyed listening to a man named Cameron Calkoen talk.
Cam has a disability that essentially makes it take longer for brain waves to get to his body, which means he walks abnormally, and talks with a constant limp. Despite this, Cam trained for 11 years to be a sprinter, and ended up as a representative for Toyota.
I'll definitely remember how Cam said to:
"Dream Big, Achieve More."
This quote actually made me think about how I am constantly limiting myself, in what I believe I can do. I am always setting an extremely high goal, and then lowering it because of anxiousness that I'll never reach it. "Dream Big, Achieve More" has had an impact on how I perceive the goals I set to myself, and these words are going to stick with me for as long as I will be able to remember them.
In summary, I learnt a lot at this conference, and I had a lot of fun.
