Comments from Participant Evaluations

How important a lot issues are to youth

Never count your votes while you are sitting in session until the debating is done.

Someone always has to be first don’t follow others if there is something

you want to voice your opinion

Democracy is a hell of a lot of work

How to gain confidence in my opinions and beliefs.

Individual committees have a huge impact on the House and Senate

I would love to be in politics later in my life

This program sparked a life long passion for politics.

That everyone has different opinions and that helps government

People you least expect can rise up and become leaders

I can take a long time to pass a little thing.

When we work as a team we can change peoples minds

It is incredibly hard to make something go through the legislature,

I can figure out how they get some things through the actual legislature.

 

THANKS TO 2010 Participants and Volunteers.
