Boys' State has been an amazing experience for me. The guys have all been incredibly nice and fun to be with. We were able to be productive and considerate while still enjoying our time here. Our counsulors have been very helpful and supportive. Coming into the week, I did not expect to be elected to a state office, but i decided to run because my counsulors advised me to. Being able to hang out with all the guys, play sports, and attend city council meetings was enough to make my Boys' State experience memorable; winning my party's nomination for Attorney General and being elected as Attorney General were simply icing on top of the cake. My only regret from Boys' State is that I have so little time to spend  with the boys and the counsulors. I hope to see my fellow Savages and other citizens outside of Boys' state in the near future.
