My two cents is a great experience to share your opinions on given topics. The conferees were divided into small groups and then had to sit in a circle. The conference leader here at RYLA, Amanda, stated both amusing and serious statements that the conferees could either disagree with or agree with. Humorous statements included things like "Dunkin Donuts is better than Starbucks". The serious statements included things like "The Supreme Courts decision to legalize gay marriage was right". Each group then put their hand in the circle if they agreed with the statement and who ever disagreed with the statement did not put their hand in the circle. The groups then took some time to discuss why they agreed or disagreed with the statement which gave the conferees time to reflect. This was an amazing opportunity to hear what other people thought about these situations and also to express your opinions.
