Day 2 of the Conference!

Since we stayed up till 1 here (meaning it was like 3 Texas time), when the alarm went off so we could be at the 7 o'clock Breakfast with Scientific Keynote Speakers, we looked at each other and went back to bed for a couple more hours until Breakout Sessions started.

The first session of the day that I went to was "Ask the Experts: For Preteens and Teens". Which pretty much explains itself. An expert came to talk and then we asked questions, if we had any. 

Next I went to "Life After High School, Transitioning into College". Where they talked about... transitioning into college. Then some of the teens and kids went to the park across the street and we had our photos taken by a professional photographer. After lunch, (which I bailed out of halfway through because it was the same guys from breakfast finishing up their talks), I went to "Sharing and Socializing" and us teens just got to hang out for about an hour. Which, to me is probably way more important than any session, because we got to hang out with people similar to us! Next, I was going to go to "Preparing for College", but a friend asked me to go to "Sports, Activities, Gadgets, and Hydrocephalus". Which talked about restrictions on sports and activities or gadgets people with programmable shunts should stay away from. Which it sounded like there was really no sports, activities or gadgets to stay away from. My mom has been going to different sessions, but she went to the "Preparing for College" one anyways.

We got some more photos taken in different groups - such as Teens with Hydrocephalus. From there I went and helped with a video for teachers to watch so they can learn more about Hydrocephalus. For the video, the older teens talked about what was the hardest thing in school, or what a teacher did that was helpful, and things we thought the teachers should know. 

Then we went to a movie night and we talked about some plans we have for things in the near future. I left in the beginning of the movie though, because a family friend came to meet up with us. Then when the movie was over I went back to hang out with everyone for almost the rest of the night!
