My name is Gael Realivazquez, and this is my second year at the Texas government. When I first joined TXYG, I was confused, nervous, and scared that I would mess everything up. When I went to the district, I was so lost, but without the help and encouragement of the people their help so much, Without I wouldn’t be here and what I know. Once I heard that I made a statement, I was so happy and appreciated those who helped. We went to the Renaissance Hotel for the first year and it was really nice. I was so excited because the competition was in the capital and I was part of the media department. I had so much fun exploring and meeting new people and had a good time overall. I also got to see all my friends who helped me. I knew this was what I wanted to keep doing, and I fell right in.
In the second year, I was excited because I heard that the state would be at a hotel water park. I know that competition was complex and more challenging this year, but that wanted to push me more. I did all my assignments, and in December, they told me I made it, and I was so happy. Now, here I am at State Conference, I enjoy it, but you still have to work and compete. Mostly, the water is enjoyable, and the hotel is so much fun. I highly suggest you do this; you won’t regret it. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and maybe this will help you in the future if you’re interested in continuing this in life. Don’t forget many different things at the TXYG; learn and explore what fits you.
