| WELCOME TO BOYS STATE LIVE 2011! | |

Tuesday Afternoon Update
|
| Over 60 students participated in the first session of the Leadership 101. A class proven to improve the leadership skill for both those who have them and those who 'wish they had them'. The class is very taught in a very unique participatory manner...and most three hour session each day is held outside of a classroom. In addition, the Senate and House meetings, the band rehearsed, the state police met and the newspaper staff worked on the Wednesday edition. Today was also game two of the inter-county sports competitions in the four sports. The posting's picture show allows you to see some of the 'business' of Boys State. As you see, the citizens really ARE creating the government of Boys State. Counselors are just guides on the side observing and available for questions. |
This third full day of Boys State has definitely been the best so far! I was elected as Senator yesterday--it was a tight race between a really great guy and me. I am happy to have won the support of my county, and I was even more elated when I was able to be a part of the Senate meetings today! The other Senators and I had great discussion in a meeting that lasted an hour and one half and a meeting that lasted two and one half-hours. I cannot wait for what the rest of the week to come has in store. |
