CKIx 2015 was my first ever International Convention! I was so excited and
nervous about the adventures I would
have and the people I would meet. I'm
incredibly glad I got to have this experience and that I shared it with others from
our amazing district. I believe one of my
favorite parts of trip was LSSP, since I
love doing service. Seeing us all come
together to do what we truly love and feel
passionate about was amazing. Through
convention I met awesome people and
learned so many new things.

Inside Story Headline
My first CKI International Convention was definitely a highlight of my summer. Not only did I get to meet a ton of new
people (from all over), but I also got to learn a lot about CKI
and the K-family. However, my favorite part of ICON wasn’t
the knowledge, but the service projects. It was amazing seeing
what such a large group of people could accomplish over the
span of 2 days. My team, “Wanna Do A Lot of Service” or
WDALOS for short, helped clean out (and around) a building
that will eventually become a thriving community center. Joking after that we were clearing “limbs” (referring to tree
branches) from the worn-down space! I recommend any one
who gets the opportunity to attend an ICON in the future, to
go! You will not only make friends, but a difference.

What a great week spent with some wonderful people. I had the great experience
to road trip with my friends and go site
seeing before ICON. We went through
Atlanta, to where Martin Luther king Jr.
loved, and Chattanooga where we went
white water rafting. By then I was ready
and pumped to reunite with my other
CKI friends. The 2 highlights of my trip
was being on the Indianapolis news for
helping clean a playground and seeing my
team facilitator from leadership academy
whom I haven't seen in 2 years!!! I am
sooo glad I decided to go and see how
awesome CKI is!

For a group of 4 of us CKIx started on
Sunday at 6 am. Each day was full of
laughter and adventure and new jokes
along the way. I have to say the highlight
of the entire trip was when we went
White Water Rafting in Tennessee and
IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Right along
side rafting though was both days of
LSSP.
Day one a group of us went to an abandoned community center to revitalize it. I
was able to paint a roof while others were
cleaning inside and outside, and repainting the swing set for the children.
The second day of LSSP I went to Gleaners, a food bank, where my group sorted
food donations. Our group sorted a record number that day WHOOP
WHOOP! We sorted 32504 pounds of
food which will serve 21669 people! Overall CKIx was a amazing and
really made me ready for this year to
come! Next year we are in Toronto, Canada can't wait to see everyone there!
