ACTIVITIES:

- Attend Cognitive Distortion Group w/ Michael Kura
REFLECTION:
LEAD was pretty cool (I'll mention this more in the integration questions).
INTEGRATION QUESTION:
Policy/macro: What was your experience at LEAD? What was most valuable? How could your learning experience have been improved?
I had a great time at LEAD this year. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were directed to the basement, where LEAD was being held. We listened as speakers explained what social work meant to them, and why social work was such an important field. I went to LEAD last year, too. I thought this one was pretty repetitive, but equally as valuable. I learned a lot in the breakout session about discrimination and current bills being reviewed deal directly with discrimination issues.
I thought the most valuable information gained this time around was the scavenger hunt. Last year, I went and visited the statehouse, but never really found out where (or what) anything was. The scavenger hunt gave me a much wider perspective of what really goes on over there.
My learning experience could have been improved. I feel like next year, seating should be clearly marked so that schools can sit together. (David and I ended up in an entirely different section than our classmates...). I also think there should be MORE (or different) break out sessions added.
Overall, good day.
