  1. 1. My favorite memory from camp is just meeting everyone and getting to know each other. Especially with "Would You Rather" :)
    2. It means that I represent a leader in my church. Someone that people look up to and can count on. Someone that is able to make a change and looks forward to helping the church or community.
    3. I feel that I learned that it is ok to really be yourself and let people judge you the way they want. Not everyone is going to love you but as long as you stay true to yourself you can still be happy.
    4. The hardest thing for me was that I didn't neccesarily word the questions the way that i meant and recieved some different answers :) haha
    5. The best surprise is that people are actually really excited for me and they truely want to be involved.
    6. The hardest thing for me was stepping out and asking people that I don't know that well. I knew that they would be good for my project but I haven't known well enough to completly trust them yet. I tend to ask people that I know are organized, committed, etc.
    7. The best surprise about establishing the support team was probably that every person i asked said yes without hesitation. They are really excited to help me with my project.
    8. I am excited to see everyone and learn they are doing with their projects.
    9. One thing I want to challenge my self to do is not give up right away when a problem arises.

  2. 1. My favorite memory from camp is meeting new people and learning so much from each other.

    2. To me, a servant leader is someone who is willing to take a leadership role while being humble and doing the will of God.

    3. I learned that I have the ability to connect with all different types of people. I feel I can use this in communicating.

    4. The hardest thing about the interviews was explaining why I was doing them and the YSLI program I am in.

    5. My biggest suprise about the interviews was understanding other people's opinions about my community. It was so interesting!

    6. My biggest difficulty in establishing my support team was figuring out who I would work well with and who I could count on.

    7. I found that many people were interested and excited about my project.

    8. I am so excited to see each other again! I also look forward to hearing how other peoples' projects are going.

    9. I am really trying to challenge myself to stay disciplined and focused on this project.

  4. 1.my favorite memory about camp was meeting everyone.
    2.Being a servant leader means serving God while leading his people in a path towards him
    3.I feel ive learned that im a very shy person and that my faith isnt by any means as strong as i thought it was when i signed up for this.
    4.The hardest thing for me in doing the interviews was the fact that nobody came to church that i wanted to interview! We had some building construction done in our sancuary and so church was held downstairs in the cafiteria; needless to say not alot of people showed up for these services.
    5.The best suprise about doing the interviews was the fact that nobody gave me the answers i susupected! And also that people are really hard to get in touch with and they dont respond very fast either!
    6.The hardest thing for me in establishing the support team is the fact that nobody under the age of 70 comes to church anymore it would seem! And when i emailed people they never responded back! In fact im still waiting for a few to respond so i can see them at church and ask them.
    7.The best suprise about establishing a support team is that the people you want seem to be the people who wont be part of it and the people in which i go to in last option because either i dont know them or they my not have the same kinds of intrests as me seem to be the people who jump aboard right away willing to help in any way possible even though they have no clue what the project is about or even what YSLI is! i think that is soooooooooooooooooo cool!
    8.I am excited for the retreat because of course i want to see everybody but i want to know what they are doing for their projects and i want to share what im going to be doing too! :)
    9.I want to get out of the boat and challenge myself to step away from my shyness and show this project what ive got to offer. I want to keep with it even when the goin gets tough.
