Mr. Dan from South Carolina who
had a golf cart that he drove around. I
got to know Mr. Dan pretty well
because National Convention at
Miami University involved a lot of
walking. Another upside to having a
bad leg at Nationals is that you can get
to know people from other states
because everyone is so curious about
the guy on crutches. They ask all
types of questions, and eventually
some of those little conversations can
become lasting friendships.
The dreaded injury at Nationals
may seem like something that can
almost ruin the experience for a
delegate. However, if you can figure
out how to use your surroundings,
injuries do not have to stop the fun.

1st place role call at the 2nd General Assembly (and before
Ryan's devastating injury.)
