What Girls State Means to Me
By Emily Hunt, Hudson City
From trekking to the dorms on Sunday
to the gubernatorial debate
My week has been full and fast
at Volunteer Girls State
We stay up late
To Wake up early
and to us it makes perfect sense.
With a love of country
And love of state
We learn
And we debate
Working hard,
We worked together
To be the best we can.
We are the voices of tomorrow,
But we have began enacting change today.
Standing strong
because we stand together
If we fall
We try again
We are cities.
We are sisters.
We are leaders.
We are exceptional.
We are confident in who we are
And who we will become.
In this week a home was found
Thanks to the ALA at Volunteer Girls State.
