if I could kiss the sky, trust me, that would be the first thing I would do. (:

I am back from another little voyage: this one was to Ashland University where I stayed for a week and attended "Buckeye Girls State" (commonly known as BGS.) Sponsored by the American Legion, it was a week long event learning all about Ohio's government, and a pretense model government where all 900 girls who attended had a position. Each of us were apart of a 'city:' which was the floor of the dorm we were on. The dorm building as a whole was a county, and put all of the cities and counties together and you have a STATE. Within these cities, counties, and state there were positions/jobs: I ran for governor off the bat at the county level by giving a speech (with my running shoes; from then on I was referred to as 'runner girl.) I didn't make it, but persuaded by my city girls I ran for lieutenant governor and made it to the next level. From there I had to give another speech this time in from of half the state (we were split up into two political parties.) I received the top number of votes and was paired with the governor candidate who also received the top number of votes. Then as a pair we campaigned, and really got to know everyone there we could. Optimism and relate ability got us to the next step as a pair. We had to debate against the other candidates. I received 3 questions about the party platform, and after a very nail biting election they announced my name as winner of 2010 lieutenant governor. However, there was a lot to come: and I will summarize by saying I don't think I want to pursue a occupation in politics. At the end of the conference I was asked to give the closing prayer and dismissal. (: This was not a christian program, but I met so many christians and together we promoted GOD.
