My Global Young Leaders Conference Experience The day I found out that I was nominated to represent the Cayman Islands at the Global Young Leaders Conference I was thrilled. The letter that I received proclaiming my nomination had all the necessary information needed to complete the process of accepting the nomination. When I read the financial requirements to proceed to the conference, I was shocked. I thought that I would be unable to attend the conference. This was an opportunity of a life time, which would be both an amazing and educational experience. My mother was determined to have me attend GYLC. My mother and I then brainstormed and decided that we were going to find a way to get the money to attend this conference. By the good grace of God, we knew we would get through this. It was advised by GYLC to look for sponsors from companies in our country. My mother and I then decided that we were going to send out letters to as many companies as possible requesting sponsorships. Along with sponsorship letters we will try to hold any other fundraising events. After weeks of raising funds and obtaining sponsors from companies, I was able to have received the exact amount needed to attend the Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC which would be extended on to New York. The morning of my departure I was delighted to have been accompanied by one of my close friend, Natasha Henry. We were in our way to New York where we spent two days in waiting to then take another flight to Washington DC where the conference started. Arriving to the conference Natasha and I met other scholars from different parts of the world. We met scholars from South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ghana, Ireland, Germany, Kenya,
