Kurtis' April Blog

2011-04-13

Hello everyone!
I hope you are all doing well since my last post. It is crazy to think that this will be my last post. My past year has absolutely flown by and to look at where I am now in comparison to where I was is incredible. This year has changed my life forever and I will never forget it!
As of this past month I have just really been preparing for ICDC and reflecting upon my past year in office. I also have decided to attend the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, campus at the Carlson School of Management! I could not be more happy or excited about this school; everything about it just seems right.
My past 5 years in DECA have been a wild ride and this past year has, by far, been the best and the craziest. I need to thank you all for that - especially Team 65; you have been great to work with throughout the entire year. We created memories that I will never forget. And finally, thank you to the members for everything; you make DECA what it is.

I’ll leave you with a quote that I like to live by:

“It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”
-Grace Murray Hopper
If you have something in your life that you want, go get it. Don’t let anything get in your way! Thank you for everything this year!

Sincerely,
Kurtis Conkel
International DECA President
