Time to start blogging again!
I just got home from an intense two-day Youth Leadership School put on by the Leadership Institute in Orem. The Leadership Institute is an awesome non-profit organization which trains young conservative political leaders. Since LI was founded by the conservative legend Morton Blackwell in 1979, they have turned out conservative political leaders left and right. If you’re conservative and at all interested in a political career you NEED to check it out. I gained more practical knowledge about political activism in 2 days of LI than I have in 3 semesters as a political science student. I feel empowered and ready to go! Anybody need a campaign manager?!? Just kidding.
Though not a political campaign, I’m hoping to apply the principles I’ve learned to a local advocacy group I’m trying to start here in Provo. I would like to start a chapter of The Girl Effect. Pretty much the only problem holding me back right now is thinking of a good name for the group with one of my friends. Don’t worry, I will keep you posted and I’ll be a much better blogger from now on. Well, maybe.
One more announcement: I’m going to London! I’ve been accepted to the BYU Study Abroad at the BYU London Centre for next semester and I will definitely update my blog then for friends who want to hear about London. I’m hoping I get to go see parliament…
In summary:
The Leadership Institute is awesome,
Check out GirlEffect.org, and
Be excited for London!!!
Have a beautifully political day :)
