~:[CH10 - Day 49]:~ The Send Off
After they put so much time preparing for something, it's always exciting to get to the final day of preparation, but also a little nerve-wracking as you hope they're prepared for it all. I guess I kind of felt like a parent sending their child off to school, knowing you did all you could and just hoping all goes well. Although the conference is still weeks away, tonight was the final prep meeting. I applaud this group for spending hours researching and collecting all those documents, writing an average of twenty pages of papers each for their almost 600 page position paper, and spending these extra evenings together testing their knowledge and seeing just how much they knew. It's been a crazy ride as I had up to 16 meetings in a single day, but it's refreshing to know that I will be sending them off confident that they will do well. My seniors helping me had good things to say about this group and it reassured me that the work put in was well worth it. There were a lot of other things going on today as we prepped for the Security Council Conference this weekend, however, every time I took a break, I smiled knowing that it's almost time for them to shine.
