Message from Noah Betman (Michigan) - CLTC 2

"The best 12 days of your life." This was one of the main things that I heard about CLTC. When we arrived at the airport I saw about fifty people sitting in a CLTC section. Never in my life have I felt such fear of the future! Will they like me? Will I make any friends? Little did I know, but the rumors are true. You make the best friends of your life at CLTC. These past ten or so days have been like nothing I've ever experienced before. Back in Michigan Region, we have an event called Regional Convention where there is both competition and an incredible amount of brotherhood created. In my time here at CLTC, an indescribable bond has been created between each and every person. We sing songs together, we play sports together, we talk about anything and everything. Heck, we even cry together.

I've learned so much during my time here. Whether it's been public speaking, leadership techniques, or the seven habits; this has been the experience of a lifetime. We even had the President of the board of directors of BBYO visit us and tell us about how her time in BBYO has helped her in her work. Oh, and she is also Michael Jordan's business manager.

I will never forget my time here at CLTC 2 2011, I'm just sad to see it coming to an end so soon.
