2011 Delegate Testimonials

An integral part of the MLW experience is feedback. Whether it is facilitators receiving feedback on their workshops or delegates getting feedback during their check point/tuning sessions,this individual attention provides all participants the chance to grow and learn.  We very much appreciate the time delegates take to tell us about their experiences so we can grow and we can share some of the insights with others. 

Here is a small sample of what 2011 delegates wrote in their post-site evaluations:

SHW 2011

I can truly say this was a life changing experience. I came in with a negative attitude,and I am now leaving with a positive attitude about me,my actions,and myself as a leader. I have learned to love myself (thanks to Annabelle),and I have learned to accept things as they are. I even have a new motto to help me:Just forget ’bout it. I have made friends for life and I will never forget this experience. Everyone here is so nice and they make me feel welcome. I am going to come back next year,and I am going to encourage my friends to also come. Remember:lead,believe,be:MLW!

 I really enjoyed the MLW experience. I liked talking with the groups. Sometimes we talked about things that I would not be willing to talk about with friends. I am really glad that MLW was able to provide me with a safe and comfortable environment to discuss these things.

MLW has been an amazing experience. At first I thought that I would not meet anybody new,but within a few hours I met amazing people. I have built such close relationships with some people and learned so many things about being an effective leader. Thank you so much for this great experience.

MSEL 2011

MSEL was an amazing experience,and as a person,this has changed my life and I will remember this forever. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to come here and meet new people,learn about leadership,and just have a good time. I want to thank everyone here,especially the staff,for making sure we had as much fun as we possibly could and still learn a lot at the same time. I’ m just very,very grateful for the fun week.

It was the best time I had had in a long time. I have learned so much about leadership and I can now use it back at school/home.

This was the best week of my life because I learned new things,met awesome new people and saw a whole new side of my personality.

ALS 2011

MLW is a truly life changing experience. This camp redefines leadership in so many ways. In camps its typical that the people in charge will stand up in front of you and tell you who you’re supposed to be by the end of your time there. But,at MLW the staff really pays attention to our specific needs and personalities to make us better leaders.

ALS was amazing. I honestly believe that the skills I have learned and the ways I learned how to utilize them will make me a better leader and has changed me as a person. I want to make a difference and now,I KNOW I can.

I loved it!!! I learned a lot and the staffers were great and the workshops were fun and educational. The practicum was also relevant to the world.
