e got there on time and were able to get great seats. They showed a presentation of a couple of the presentations submitted for review and we seen some really good ones. They didn't feature our presentation since there was a speaker and he had a presentation. His name was Rev. Al Miles from Honolulu Hawaii....yes, I always wanted to go there. Who knows, maybe I will one day!!
He was a great speaker and spoke about instances where bullying, peer pressure and stalking are of great concern in the settings of society today. He also spoke about some true-life instances where a teenage girl was in a domestical abuse relationship. It was very informative and very well received with all the audience. The audience was very diverse in age, there was an older woman there that was knitting, alot of young people and then of course, PARENTS!!!!! UGH!! My dad had to ask when the proper age was to start dating? (Talk about embarasssing!!!!)Well, Mr. Al Miles replied that it is dependent on the teenager and that they had to leave all lines of communication open for discussion. (Very well handled!!!)
We got to meet Rev. Al Miles after the presentation and had a photo opportunity, check it out!!! He was super nice. Then the ladies at The Crisis Resource Center of Southeast Kansas was kind enough to offer us a pen and a nail file. They did their RAK for the evening by just being there!
Well, my parents still thought we deserved a celebratory dinner and took us to Meadowbrook Mall and fed us at Cafe Del Rio...got to love the Queso! YUM!
