Hi guys,
A McDaniel delegate makes a heated point.
I went on another simulation trip this past weekend–with Maryland Student Legislature to St. Mary’s College of Maryland, who was hosting our Fall Interim Assembly. For this event, I had reviewed and revised all the legislation since I am the state attorney general. The packets handed out to all of the attendees were thick with interesting bills which were all grammatically correct. I don’t think anyone realized how much time I had spent reading those.
As attorney general, I wasn’t able to speak for or against any bills, which actually made for an interesting experience. Instead of speaking, if I wanted a point to be communicated to the audience, I had to message a friend, explain my point to them, and convince them it was worth speaking about. In this way, I had my opinions expressed without personally expressing them.
We ended up running out of legislation, but a lot of people submitted “emergency legislation” which were quickly written (read: I had to edit them a LOT!) but still fun to debate.
As always, I loved seeing my friends from other schools. I’m super excited for March, when McDaniel will host our Spring Leadership Training Institute and Interim Assembly!
