Hey all, RYLA videos are currently in the process of being sent to YouTube, and taking their sweet sweet time... Would have uploaded them at work, but it kept failing on me :(
Anywho, when they HAVE uploaded, they will be available at http://www.youtube.com/ryla2010bonnyhills
Check back to see if they have been uploaded, I've just left my computer running.
Don't forget that I'll do up a DVD to post out to all RYLArian's too. PLEASE copy it and give to your friends and families to show them what you got up to.
Cheers, Andy C

Andy C Signing Out
Well this pretty much wraps up the week. Today has been a strong realisation on what RYLA is really about. Words cannot describe what the feelings of the day were like, so it will be impossible for me to even start to try and put words to it. I'll leave that to Ash, our awesome wordsmith :)
Over this past week, I have made some awesome friends who I intend to keep in contact with. Spending this week with them, in the situations we were in, is a special thing, and knowing that I may never do this again is saddening.
However, great memories will last forever.
Much love to all RYLArians

Previously in life I have come across many barriers and detours; at times finding myself hopelessly lost, confused and afraid, without no sense of direction or self.
I now know who I am, where I am, where I am going and how I will arrive at my chosen destination.
RYLA has provided me with these tools; whilst also renewing faith in myself that I am capable of achieving my goals. The only thing I now fear is fear itself.
I, not events, have the power to make me unhappy or happy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and im going to be happy in it ♥
Words can not express my gratitude
Thankyou immensley Rotary; Ivana and John for providing this opportunity :)

Goodbye, I'll miss you...
RYLA has given me a real opportunity to grow as a person and determine who it is I want to be. I want to be someone of influence who makes a difference in the life of the people around me. The teachings of this program have helped me to determine this and given me a true sense of direction which I haven’t had since I wanted to be a fairy princess!
I have made so many life-long friends that I know I can truly rely on. It has been the greatest pleasure.
This course has helped me to gain self confidence on both a professional and personal level. I truly believe that it has made a difference in the future of this generation and recommend it for anyone who wants to be part of ensuring a greater tomorrow.
Love Kim

Last night in RYLA land.
Hey guys its jaimi-lee here.
shattered that it is the last night at RYLA. i mean seriously the friends you make here will seriously last a lifetime. they are all completely amazing in many different ways. Thanks to John Carroll our amazing mentor who gave us our many talks. Thankyou to Ivana who gave me the opportunity to come to RYLA and have the most amazing experience i hav ever had in my life, and i will never ever forget it. I would recommend this program to anyoneee.
Before i came here to the wonderful RYLA land i had no idea what confidence or self esteem was, it has always been non exsistant in my life and i thought that it always would be, but being here has totally changed my opinion on everything. I was petrified of being on stage in front of people. But GUESS WHAT? i got on stage in front of about 100 people and i sung my little heart out, i wouldnt of been able to do that if i didnt come here. Self esteem was a huge issue of mine, but i have now learnt to be happy with who i am. I even hosted the RYLA has talent today. The people here have amazing talent, and i think that in life they are going to go hell far with them.
I just wanna leave one last note. Remember RYLArians, reach for the stars and never give up your dreams and goals, use the skills you have learnt here and go further on in your life. I am extremely happy that i have met you all and i hope we can get together at some stage and see how we are all going, you guys taught me to open up, let my feelings free, i was really bad at that, i used to bottle them up but as we saw, i can be a blubbering mess on the microphone, not finish what i was saying sit down for a minute, then give it another go and stil turn into a blubbering mess so sit down again and 3rd time lucky it all turned out.
So thankyou everyone here. BIG THANKS TO JOHN CARROLL AND IVANA AGAPIOU FOR GIVING ME THE LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE THAT WE TODAY CALL RYLA 2010!!!
P.S GO TEAM COGSPOF, oh and the movie turned out great too. TREE HUGGIN HIPPIES!

Last Night in RYLA Land
Its Friday Night and my last night at RYLA. Im feeling a lil sad as its taken a while for me to feel comfortable and settled just wishing I had a few more nights to get to know everyone a little bit more. Its been a life changing week I have learnt so much from the last week and am going to learn so much more when I get back to reality many changes will be made when I get back to Sydney. I have met so many great people and am happy I got to spend this last week with them all its one week of my life that I will never forget. The speakers have been so inspirational and I will be taking something from each one of them to make some changes in my life.
I hope that when I get back to reality that the changes I want to make with my life start strait away. I'm so greatful that Max May nominated me to come to RYLA and Tamworth First Light gave me the opportunity to attend RYLA 2010.
Looking forwad to seeing all the photos and videos of our time here at RYLA.
