So I did my first Rotary presentation today and it went pretty well...everyone enjoyed it and I traded a banner and gave out some of my kiwi pins which they all loved. I was asked today whether New Zealanders have sense of humours and my host counsellor Tim informed straight away that he "didnt know about New Zealanders but this one certainly does". Guess Im making an impression on them. I gave them a quick run down on my weekend in Boston and then started my presentation which intended up being more of a discussion than a presentation as I was getting questions and comments all the way through. It was still good and everyone was paying attention but unfortunately i didnt get all the way through it so they missed out on some of the NZ details and my little video clip of the haka but theres always another time Im sure. Either way I have now been asked to come and talk to a middle school and have another lunch invite. Im also on the list of people going to attend UN (united nations) day in NYC on the 5th of November which will be great. Apparently the Rotary international president will probably be attending and there will be some people from the UN as well as a chance to see some of the Ambassadorial scholars I met over the weekend again.
I also received my article today which was really good and if it ends up being added to the paper's website I will link it on here for you all to read.
