CSF Conference

Yesterday I went to the Norcal CSF Conference in Chico. Three officers went to cheer on Stephanie Chan, who was a Seymour Finalist. The conference had a cultural theme, and Chico did a great job putting it on.

We did three workshops. The first was learning about the French language, but mainly how to make crepes. The best part was that we got to eat the crepes, which were very delicious! The next workshop we did was Columbian Dance and Culture. They had a girl speaking who had graduated from high school in Columbia. It was very interesting to hear her speak. After, she taught us some basic Columbian dance, which was fun. Following the second workshop, was the keynote speaker, a woman who told us about her life, since she had been president of her CSF chapter. The final workshop we did was really interesting, as exchange students and their host families discussed what the experience was like. It was fascinating to see how what we take for granted every day is so unusual for them!

I really enjoyed going to the conference. It was nice to be surrounded by CSF students, who see the club as more than just something to put on their college application. Everyone was truly interested in service and friendly, making for a positive atmosphere!
