So, Graduation for Team v is tomorrow. Looking back on my Team v journey, it has certainly been an adventure and tomorrow, despite the 7:02am train, I will enjoy celebrating it with fellow leaders. all I can expect at the moment is lots of speeches and performances but also a very grand venue. The rest is a mystery. Nevertheless, it should be a great day. I did invite dad but only to realize that parents weren't invited. A bit of a shame but at least he gets a day out in London.
Going onto new things, I have started my role in Points of Light and start studying a new course in Journalism in September. 4 weeks left. Well, Three and a bit, to be fair but who's counting (I am). I actually can't wait to go back but first I have to complete my 500 hours volunteering before the end of the holidays. I currently have another 16 and a half hours to do to get there but that's fairly easy. I usually get about 7 hours out of volunteering at Oxfam so if I do that for a few weeks, I should be there.
Look, I still have my tube ticket from when I went to the Team v Warm up day. It makes it kind of a whole circle.
Apart from Team v and my volunteering challenge, I would also like to mention about the Youth Media Summit, held yesterday in London. It was trying to not only show that youth can produce positive media but also to show that the stereotypes are wrong. This is something that I have long believed in and as I do, they are challenging the perceptions of various topics. In Partnership with Million Youth Media and a new project called "Fully Focused", they have started to create videos to challenge this. Here's one and it's not what you would think from the title:

It's also worth checking out Million Youth Media as a whole as it has a lot to offer in terms of promoting youth in a positive way.
Overall, everything is going well and I can't wait for tomorrow. To be able to celebrate our achievements as a whole will allow us to look back but it should also be great fun. Hope to post after graduation. For the final time, Team v Out!
