Hey everyone! Just got back from Jr.NyLC. What’s Jr.NYLC you ask? It’s Junior National Young Leaders Conference. Jr.NYLC for short. At Jr.NYLC I made a lot of friends. We had little conferences about leadership. On Saturday we had conferences all day then we went to bed (we slept at this hotel sort of thing). I had three other roommates. One was from Hawaii! I had a lot of fun. On Sunday we had a few conferences in the morning and then went to the Newseum. There was a lot of cool stuff there such as the Berlin wall and newspapers and s0me statues about 911. Then we went back to where we were staying and had a few more conferences and went to bed at 10:00 (Ok, at 10:00 we had security check and then at 10:30 we went to bed). On Monday we had more c0nferences and went to Harpers Ferry and learned about John Brown. He wanted to have a war to free the slaves. His plan didn’t work out too well! Then we went back to where we were staying and had more conferences, and went to bed at 10:30. Then Tuesday we had more meetings before and after : Lunch at Buca di Beppo, American History Musuem, & White House photo opportunity. Guess what? We couldn’t go past the fence to take pictures. And it wasn’t because the president (but some of the people who zoomed in with our cameras got a picture of Barack Obama on the White House balcony). THE JONAS BROTHERS WHERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! I really wish I could have gone past that stupid fence 
Wednesday we had 9 conferences at the 4-H center (that was where we were staying) Then we left on buses at 3:20 PM. First we ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Then we had a sleepover at the Maryland Science Center! I slept in the planetarium. On the first level we had interactive sciencey things (LOL! Sciencey things 
). On the 2nd level we had the human body and a bunch of planet facts. Thats where I slept. On the third level there was LIVE bay animals!!!! There were crabs and 2 turtles. They were so cute! At 11:30 we all went to bed. On Thursday parents picked us up at the 4-H center. And that was my trip! Ok now a whole different story: When I got home from the Jr.NYLC I was really tired and took a 3hr nap. When I woke up I heard really loud Michael Jackson music. Then when my mom turned on the TV the news was on. It said Michael Jackson died. He died of a heart attack. If you are reading this blog at 11:43 AM on Friday the 26th in June and you want to find more turn on your TV and watch any news channels such at CNN. Go on twitter and get the symbol from @mmsmusicforlife and put it on your twitter account. It will be in favs. Thank you. Goodbye everyone.
Sincerly,
