Comments from Participant Evaluations

I learned that this is my chance to make a difference and my opinion needs to be heard.

A bill has to go through many trials before it is accepted and implemented. 

It is impossible to make everyone happy.

That law making is a matter of great importance and I now understand the gravity.

I learned why our government matters. 

Letting students have control and learn from our mistakes. 

How to become comfortable speaking in front of other people.

You have to take initiative in order to succeed.

I liked that it was formal and realistic.

The host families are great, and being in the State House I hope those things never change.

Favorite thing was students were in charge.

Loved the food.

Don't ever leave the State House.

I think it is cool how this program brings together a large variety of schools.

Everyone's voice is important. 

To represent other people you must listen and be patient. 

I liked we got to pass even some crazy bills.

SPEAK OUT or DON'T COMPLAIN

Everyone was so friendly

 

 

THANK YOU TO 2011
