I am writing a piece on my feelings before and after I attend the annual B4U-ACT conference. This year is my first time going. I’m really excited and grateful I am able to go. I signed up pretty much at the last minute and the only reason I’m allowed to come is because some people canceled, which opened up a spot for me. Even though I’ve been interested in going since I first learned about it a few years ago, I always thought that in order to go you had to be a member of their forum. I also was unaware of when it would occur. A few weeks ago I was on the main website for B4U-ACT because they had written a critic of a paper that came out last year. That’s when I saw the announcement about the conference and registration on the site. My eyes widen. I got excited. Finally my chance. I read what was written on the site about the event and then registered. The register form said for first timers they would need a voucher. I had the perfect voucher since my therapist was actually recommended to me from B4U-ACT. I asked her if she can vouch and she ecstatically agreed. After I signed up, I received an email informing me that they wanted to schedule an online voice chat to get to know me better and further explain the conference. It’s something they do with all first timers.
