Hey everybody!
So, May 11th to 14th I went to Boston MA for Teen pact, a political program for teens.
We started out at Noon. From there, we were divided into the groups we were assigned. I was in the COPS committee, standing for Committee of public safety. Our leader Caleb started out asking us some questions about each other. He was really fun, and so was our committee.
Then, we elected a clerk and chairman. For clerk, Courtney from PA, and chairman Jonathon Kuhjanpaa.
We had a speaker next. Then a quiz.
That was the first day. It got even better after that.
Day 2
We arrived at The Park street church for worship. Then we went out on our prayer walk. We walked through the Boston common for about 30 minutes and then headed back inside. Next we had a debate from Josh, one of the leaders. After that we went out on our first field experience. These are when we go into the capitol with one of the leaders and learn about something that happens in politics. We first learned about Lobbyists with Caleb. We did not have any real ones to interview, so we pretended to interview Courtney and Jonathon.
We went back to the church and had a quiz.
We had a Frisbee/pizza party on the common. It was so fun!!
Well, I have to go to bed now. But, I will have part two out shortly.
Until next time!
