From Matt:
I was recently nominated by my high school teacher(s) to represent Antelope High School at the 2017 National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC) being held at American University in Washington D.C.. I will be participating in the Political Action & Public Policy program. Something I am planning on studying when I go to college.
This is a huge honor and totally unexpected. As an NSLC student, I will enjoy hands-on classes and career simulations. Along with other students, we will stage a mock Presidential campaign, immerse ourselves in the inner workings of the US Congress, and assume the role of a US Senator to work on committees and move bills to the floor and debate critical issues. All with the aim to give a real-world understanding of the US political system. By the end of the NSLC I will be awarded an Academic Transcript, Letters of Recommendation and a Certificate of Achievement to include in my college applications.
The initial application fee is: $449 (money you have already helped me raise by your donations of water bottles & cans over the past year).
Another $1,000 is due by February 1st.
And a final payment of $1745 is due by March 1st.
Program fess cover room & board in the university dorms for two weeks, classroom tuition, and any transportation needs from campus to the Pentagon, UN, etc.
Any other monies raised will be applied to my airfare and transportation to & from the airport to the university.
I will post updates as to how much is being paid for what and if there are any monies left over I will donate them to Placer County Paws (a local animal rescue group that specializes in rehoming animals that have been grossly abused & neglected).
