2021 Blue Lt. Governors |
Cranbrook Kingswood High School Why do you want to run for this position? When I was first introduced to youth in government I was surprised to see so many teenagers passionate about politics and the issues around America. After my first conference, I wanted to leave a greater contribution and facilitate to fuel this enthusiasm. I have always been interested in politics and this position will not only allow me to better express my opinion and lead the discussion, but also provide a larger platform to learn about the different ideas that my peers hold. What other activities have you done that make you qualified to run for office? Last summer, I attended Columbia University's course on Contemporary debates on American Law and Society. I have greatly learned about policy-making as well as the controversial issues that surround America. This experience will aid me in leading the discussion and providing help. Furthermore, I also have previous experience in youth in government. |
