This has the feel of truth to it. Is it semi-autobiographical?

Maybe if it is sort of convincing that way it means I’m becoming a better writer?

It’s actually total fiction, made up when I saw the challenge. Of course, I was a youth at one stage, but never went to an international youth leaders seminar. I would’ve enjoyed it if I had.

:O( And I’m yet to get to Bacelona too…

I like the conversational quality of the narrative. A lot of people try for this and don’t quite make it.
