This week will be special to me for the rest of my life. I met boys from all parts of South Carolina who will probably be the leaders of the country tomorrow.

The most important thing tnai l learned was to take pride in my government and my responsibility to exercise all rights as a citizen, especially voting. Senator Thurmond told us that there were three types of people, the ones who sit on the sidelines and do not care what is going on, the people who scatch their head and wonder why things happen as they do, and the person who actually gets involved. My ambition is to be like the third person, because he is the one who shows leadership and promise. I would like to say thank you again. It really makes me proud that Clinton Mills cares about her community. a: ? aiiiccreiy, William C.
