An Experience I will Never Forget by Julia Hack

    On our fourth day of the trip, we are having a blast!  We have had so many amazing experiences.  On the first day, we had a "marathon day."  We got off the plane Wednesday morning, and headed to the hotel, and then right to sight seeing!  We went to Camp Nou, the stadium where the Barcelona professional soccor team plays.  We got to check out the huge statium, which holds 99,000 people, and go on the field.  We then took the metro to the Picasso museum, and had a great time there.

    On the second day, we had another full day of sightseeing.  We went to the Sagrada Familia, a beautiful Church.  The windows of the Church were all different colors, it was gorgeous!  We then got ready for our first conference day. 

   The third day was our first full day of the conference. We listened to several inspirational speakers, including FW de Clerk and Betty Williams.  Each student then got to pick a workshop to attend.  We then spent the evening in Las Ramblas, eating and shopping.

    Today, our fourth day, was equally as fun.  We had panels to listen to in the morning, and more workshops in the afternoon.  I had the incredible experience to be able to attend the United Nations workshop, which was the one I was most excited about seeing!  

    Just in these few days, we have accomplished so much!  Our group has seen almost all of the famous sites in Barcelona, and we have had the opportunity to meet with several laureates.  Many students have had one on one conversations with many laureates! The trip is going amazingly!
