Thoughts on a Convention

This convention has been one of the most interesting and amazing experiences of my life. I was able to observe and learn so much in the last forty-eight hours. I have learned to appreciate being an alternate delegate, and being able to view the convention for a different and more relaxed perspective. I want desperately to be involved in my country’s political process, but I have realized that the best way to participate is by putting yourself in a position to affect change on an individual level. Then you will path the road for the change that you want to affect on a much larger level.

Also, I have really gotten to see that behind all our issues and causes are people. People who have the stories and convictions from living their causes. I think that is one thing we all forget, these things we talk about are not arbitrary, they are people’s lives.

Over the course of the next week I will be blogging about the lessons I have learned from this convention. I will write about what I have learned about the death penalty, the immigration debate, the political process, and what I think the future holds for politics in America.

I have had an interesting time in Austin, but soon I will be on my way back home to College Station. Hopefully in the future I will be able to use what I have learned here, and what I will learn in the future to help convince more people back home to be left of College Station.
