Day 6 - Jenna Coombes

Well we have just finished the newspaper fashion show and I must say it consisted of the best looking models you will ever see!!! It was so much fun! Each team had a theme around which they had to create their costumes. My team H'Doggs had to dress up as Superheroes - everyone looked awesome and all Rylarians made awesome costumes considering we only had newspaper, sticky tape, paint and balloons to work with.

This week has been so awesome. Last night we had our formal dinner and it was a lot of fun involving a lot of dancing and a lot of laughter.

This program has been an amazing experience and I have enjoyed it so much. I cannot believe that tomorrow night will be our last night here in RYLA Land :( It is bitter sweet because while I miss home and am looking forward to seeing Matt I am having so much fun and am going to miss everyone here in RYLA land.

This been an unbelievable experience and I have grown and learnt so much out of this as a result of this program. I have developed a lot more confidence within myself and now feel more confident to take on challenges that put me outside of my comfort zone such as public speaking - I know.......public speaking.....can you believe it??

Not only have I grown, I have met the most amazing group of people and I believe they have all contributed to my growth and the benefits I have gained from this program. They are such a kind, caring, fun spirited, intelligent and inspiring group of people and I am so lucky to have met everyone.

I am hoping to post one more blog before we leave on Saturday but just in case I don't get a chance I would like to say:

A big THANKYOU to the all the Rylarians for such an amazing week - it was so great to meet you and share this experience with you. I have no doubt that we will stay in contact and catch up in the future - well at least I hope we do.

THANKYOU so much leaders for just being YOU! You have been amazing leaders and your support and encouragment was invaluable in helping us to make the most of this opportunity and build the relationships that we have while being here.

I would also like to say a big THANKYOU to Ivana and John for all their effort and contribution in making this program possible and their encouragement and support that helped us in building our confidence and making the most out of this opportunity. I have learnt so much from them and can honestly say the program would not be the same without them.

Thanks again for everything guys and I hope that we ALL stay in touch :)
