On January 30th to Feb 3rd, I attended the Interfaith Leadership Conference in Orlando, FL. It was awesome! It was awesome to have time at Disney because i’d never been there before, but the most important thing was the whole conference focused on making a better world and better future.

We really had a good time and i gained friends, knowledge, and many other things. We visited a mosque, a synagogue, and the United Church of Christ. i got a lot of information about other religions besides Islam. We got the idea that all religions basically teach the same thing. All religions teach about peace, not about making war. So why do so many people in the world now hate each other?

We learned about decreasing stereotypes and ignorance in the world. why? Because we are the future leaders. We are all leaders. Don’t be scared to give your opinions. Do not be scared to be a leader!

WE ALL CAN DO IT.
DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE BEFORE YOU KNOW THEM.
MAKE A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
TO TRY ONE TIME IS BETTER THAN NOT AT ALL.
I WILL, I CAN, I MUST MAKE THE WORLD BETTER.

For myself, i am confident and i always think that i can make the world better. The conference opened minds and it reminded me of why i am here.
i am here not just for fun.
i am here to represent my country, my religion, and my world.
i am an ambassador.
