There are over 70 on site volunteers, various board members and contributors, a couple dozen participants and speakers who are all feverishly working to put the final touches on the 2013 HOBY Texas North Seminar. Trust me, even at 11:35pm, there is still packing to be done, badges to be printed, supplies to be boxed up. And each person is thinking about their place, their role in making this weekend OUTSTANDING! But truth be told, as much as we do this for the young leaders that will arrive tomorrow afternoon, we do this for ourselves. We do this because we learn from each other & we are recharged when we see what the next generation is capable of. Without permission (though I am sure he would grant it), here is a Facebook post from one of our alum/volunteers:
"HOBY weekend is truly an annual reset for me. I'm entering a world created by a dream; executed by 40 staffers I respect, 20 colleagues who help develop me, and over 200 HS sophomores, living in an entirely different world than my own, who teach me who I am. It's beyond amazing. It's a privilege. It's my favorite thing in the entire world. It's a parallel Outstanding World (with all the required challenges to push the amazing perspectives). I'm blessed. I owe it to ALL to be open and me at my most genuine. And I must listen and learn...and always grow. I love this all. It's Personality Growth: The Annual Series. Ever seen 16yos in their same moment in life...and seen it newly repeated 18 years over and again? It's my mental and emotional CrossFit. Love you guys. This is going to be outstanding." - Aaron Yeats, HOBY alum & volunteer
