Day OneIt all started one blustery morning of, the drive from
Pocatello, ID to Boise.
This girl had only been there twice before, so what
adventures awaited?
The twenty miles of construction was not what I expected
to be one of them.

Day OneWe started everything on a fun note. Moved in, met each
other, and went on a scavenger hunt.
Group 2 was last, we were blind to one of our tags. Oops!
The real highlight of the day, however, came after dinner,
when we went to the Anne Frank Memorial…

The sound of water is tranquil…

The greenery lush…

But I won’t forget:

Day TwoAlso known as “the longest day” or in my mind, “the
Weed Out day.” It was long, and it set the stage for the
rest of the week.
I wasn’t sure I’d make it through!

But we did!*
*And played the longest game of Uno
ever, too!

Day ThreeIt wasn’t all fun and games. A good night’s sleep and a
light breakfast later, and the day had dawned on the
beginning of the real meat of Boot Camp:

Day ThreeBut we still had fun!

Day FourDawn of the fourth day, the big kahuna. Not only was it
your typical hump day, and we were all exceptionally
tired, but it was the day of the networking dinner.
Time to wear our Sunday best!
But on Wednesday.

But first….
![Page 13: Leadership Bootcamp - Boise State](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012102/616a020a11a7b741a34dcce8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Day Four
At the event, I learned some things about myself:
I really like crackers
Strawberries on chocolate pudding
is the bomb
Lil ol’ ladies can be FIERCE
I don’t know what to do with empty serving spoons
Don’t ever selfie in my kitchen again
![Page 14: Leadership Bootcamp - Boise State](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012102/616a020a11a7b741a34dcce8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
But the biggest thing?I made a connection that can bring me one step
closer to my dream.

Day FiveAdmittedly there are no photos or videos from myself
here, so I blatantly snatch a few. I was hard at work taking
notes from the panel and organizing them for our
arguments the next day, since I was the designated
researcher.

Day FiveThings were iffy. It felt like we had nothing set up until
that evening. What would we say, what would we do?
Were it not for Senator Abby Lee to the rescue, we would
have floundered. Thus, we could eat our tacos in relative
peace.
Volleyballs were still a hazard.

Dawn of the Final DayI awoke that morning ready. Confident. We had been
working toward this day, after all, and after a breakfast
with 25 new friends, we headed to the final destination.

Capitol DayI’ll let everyone else’s catalogue of the day speak for
itself. Meanwhile, as they did selfies, as they took the
important life changing photos, I busied myself with the
green side of things*, counting down the minutes…
*And trying not to trip on
my own skirt.

Capitol DayOh yeah, we had lunch somewhere in there, too.

The Press ConferenceLet’s stay calm, cool, collected.
I am aware I probably spouted some Fake News, but in
the heat* of the moment, I really didn’t think about it.
*How punny
![Page 21: Leadership Bootcamp - Boise State](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012102/616a020a11a7b741a34dcce8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Hearing
We all remember the highlights of this, don’t we?
The Committee’s microphone crisis
The page on the floor!
We need a paper bag, stat!Camie’s demonstration
Furious iPad typingCarole’s name crisis
No gavel bangs ‘cept at the end
Con side winningPro side losing
![Page 22: Leadership Bootcamp - Boise State](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012102/616a020a11a7b741a34dcce8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In the End…To misquote Linkin Park, it really does matter. While I
didn’t do really any part of the selfie challenge out of
interest of tourism, the journey was fun. The swollen feet
at the end, not so much.
