This One's For the Girls

This past weekend we had a Fannie Sablosky lock-in.  Most chapters have a full retreat over a weekend but we decided to just do one night.  We planned the perfect amount of programs and the night went perfectly.  The highlight for me was getting to lead This One's For the Girls.  This program was started 3 years ago and the juniors write out anything they want to say.  It can be anything imaginable; BBYO related, fears, family, friends, boys, anything.  Sureck, Jackie and I each wrote something and walked in the circle crying just like our other sisters have.  It was truly amazing to then hear each girl say what they want to say.  Some said very personal things and others just said how happy they were to find a place like Sablosky to be able to come to.  That was one of the best feelings I've ever had.  I loved walking and reading with Jackie and Sureck.  The three of us have gone through so much together and to be able to finally lead this program was amazing.  I  couldn't have asked for a better lock-in.  It was perfect.  Sablosky girls I love you so much and I am truly the luckiest girl in the world to have y'all as my sisters. 

Submitted with undying love for,

Old board, new board, henna, this one's for the girls, jackie sweetheart, dani sweetheart, carly best friend, being the newly elected n'siah, and each and every one of you,

Best Seller

Sorry I haven't written in a while.  Last year was the annual Pacesetter revue.  Our theme this year was, "Best Seller" and each dance was tied to a genre of book.  We spent countless hours working on the show, the week of we were at school from 7:25 a.m. to 10 p.m.  The long hours were so worth it.  Each of the 41 Pacesetters put their hearts into the show.  The feeling of being on that stage is irreplaceable.  Every year revue always has its sad moments, mainly when the seniors hang their hats.  I have gotten really close to the seniors because we have been on the team together for 2 years.  They have left such a strong legacy and the junior class will fit in perfectly to be the next leaders of the team.  It is really hard to believe that this time next year I will be done with Pacesetters and will have hung my hat.  It was such a good year and thank you to everyone who helped make it a Best Seller.  41st line forever

Inspired

I am at a BBYO convention known as LTI. It is a leadership convention and the entire weekend is based off improving each chapter and learning more leadership skills. I signed up because of the impact I will have on sablosky during these next few months. I figured it would be a good chance to bond with the two other girls from sablosky going and maybe learn a little something. Never did I think I would learn as much as I did. I was overall very inspired to go to sablosky and truly change the future for this chapter. I have come up with ideas for little things that can only grow into bigger ones. I kept a note on my phone for whenever I thought of an idea for our sablosky lock in which is in two weeks. I am so excited to have the opportunity to lead this chapter that over the weekend my passion has grown so much for. After walkdown I really wanted to be done but I knee that I couldn't be. I didn't think that I had the resources or experience to lead my chapter. My confidence has grown in myself and my chapter. I now believe that I have an endless amount of resources and that I am capable of leading my chapter. Fannie Sablosky BBG you never cease to amaze me and I know that this next term will be challenging but there is now no doubt in my mind that we can't handle anything else that comes our way. JZ and Brianna this past weekend has been amazing with both of you and I am so proud of y'all. I love you both along with every other proud Sablosky girl and BBG.
