Latino Pride opened my eyes to a new world of leadership. As I pursued my goals I found myself in contact with the 4-H club. The four H`s, which stand for head, heart, hands and health, showed me a whole new outlook on the world. Through this world I have had the privilege to meet many influential persons throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Recently, I attended the state-wide Youth Conversations held at Penn State University. Here I met with youth leaders throughout the state to discuss how we, as youth leaders, can make our voices heard amidst the white collared world that we are a part of. This gave me the opportunity to share my views about how we can break down the stereotypes that surround the teenagers of today with our ever-dubious nickname `Generation X'. It was great to be able to meet peers with many of the same goals that I have and share with them my thoughts and ideas. From February 27 through March 02 I attended the National conversations with Youth held in Washington, DC. There I was able to share my ideas with youth from all over the country. It will be a great opportunity to be able to learn from these people that I am proud to call my peers.
