Since this blog is a place where I can post my fun thoughts, my main one is about GYC.  GYC stands for Garland Youth Council.

It's a council for all the youth of my city.  Pretty cool if you ask me.  My mom wants me to apply for a seat.  Only two seats are available.  Scary.  Most of the other guys and girls are nice.  But still scary.

I did get to sit in on a meeting last Tuesday.  That was very interesting.  I got there early which is something I am very happy about, because I got to introduce myself in short bits and not walk right in on a full meeting.

They were saying that the meeting wasn't an official meeting because Mrs. White forgot to post the Agenda to the website.  It still was a meeting though.

There was one other girl who was new and sitting in on the meeting.  I like her name, Logan. :)  She and her mom sat in on the meeting.  Maybe she and I will be the only ones to apply and we'll both get to be members together!  (Or maybe we'll both be better than any others that apply.)

We got a lecture on what to do when you see a blind person.  Jennifer Svelan from Division for Blind Services was very knowledgeable and quite fun.  I really loved it.  I also got her business card, which by the way is in braille! :D  I think I should learn braille as a fourth language.  I'm learning a bunch of languages anyway.

They also need volunteers for their activities.  For instance there is a competition coming up for different types of sports and a track race.  Ooh!  Something I would love to do!  I should volunteer.  They said they need young active people. :D  I'm young and active I can do.

Until next time!
