Turning Students into Statesmen
Before I came to TeenPact I had been praying for a while about what God wanted me to do for Him during my life. I knew that my career was going to be one where I could impact people for His glory. Teenpact has really shown me what God wants me to do with my life. The political and legal field is the field where one person can make a big difference in the world, which has been my goal for a long time. Through TeenPact, I have learned how and where I can get involved. My ultimate goals of Supreme Court Justice or President, whichever comes first, now seem attainable. TeenPact has prepared me in significant ways for my future life in these fields. I've learned a Biblical perspective on government and law. I am thankful God allowed me to experience Teenpact!
My 9 year old daughter recently attended a TeenPact one-day class here in Montgomery for the first time. Neither one of us had any idea what to expect. We were both pleasantly surprised at the fun and exciting, not to mention, educational day we had. She had prepared diligently and had done all of her homework. She LOVED Tim Echols book "Real Citizenship" although some of it was over her head. She was excited about sitting in the house of rep's and voting on pretend bills. She said it made her feel like she was in charge of the state. After a friend asked me about it later, I said, "You know when Christians are doing something in an excellent manner and being how they are supposed to be? Well, that's what it was like." Your teenage/college interns were so nice and helpful. I have never seen such mature and confident leaders at such a young age. They helped my daughter to feel comfortable from the beginning. It was such a positive experience for us, I just had to let you know how much we enjoyed it and how much we learned. I was glad my daughter got to be around such influential young people to see what you "can" become even in this culture. So rare. She said she wants to attend TeenPact every year.
It has been an honor and pleasure to sponsor TeenPact in Tallahassee for the past 6 years. These young people come to the Capitol prepared to learn, eager to involve themselves in the Legislative process and are a prime examples of the best of our youth today. Most importantly, they are models for what is right with home-schooling and demonstrate the tremendous influence family can have on the upbringing of their children. I am convinced that TeenPact is the seed for changing future generations and the catalyst for developing future leaders of our Great State.
