I first thought Boys State would just be a leadership program that taught everyone to be a leader. Now I know there's much more to it. Not everyone can be a leader. I have learned to follow, to listen, and to respect our seniors both in age and rank. Even though our ranks differed, we were all equal...all being citizens of Boys State.
