14th NYC of STI

It was my first time to attend a Youth convention, considering it's national. Having everything for free, except for the food is really a good thing. But learning more about different things is another thing.

When I heard about that convention i had this feeling that I might not enjoy the event because of my disability but all my fears turned into excitement when I wake up on that thursday morning and get ready to go to school and wait for the bus to picked us up and brought us to SMX convention center. We arrived there early because we will be one of those many participants in that 14th National Youth Convention of STI and we were scheduled to attend the first batch of lectures hat morning.

The lecture started at around 9 in the morning. It was started by Mr. Albert Guzman who delivered the opening remarks, followed by the first lecture of Sir Spanky Rodriguez that talks about blog's life. He talked about the different things we can blog about. He even showed us the blogs that had a very large impact in our country. The second speaker is Mr. Dennis Evangelista who talked abot pe'sonality or how we can maximize our talents to help us practice how to save our money or allowance . Lastly is Sir Jojo Recio who, on the other hand, talked about connecting with people because good relationship and communication skills towards people.

To sum this all up, being on that convention is really a new experience to me. Aside from learning a lot of things from the speakers, I also had the chance to explore the things that I can do all by myself. I even had the chance to meet people from different branches of STI and to bond with my classmates and friends which is a good thing because I get the opportunity to communicate with them. All the things that they've taught really helped me in a way. That's why that National Youth Convention will surely be included in the list of my memorable experiences.
