By Kae Peterson, Blount City
When I first got here I was nervous and unsure
It’s going to be amazing my counselors assured
All these new people whose names were once unknown
And then just like that great friendships had grown
Discussing and building our own government
So much accomplished in such little time spent
Watching TN Supreme Court in action was a highlight indeed
They showed me that with hard work I can always succeed
Singing, dancing, and laughing away
Oh how I wish I could always stay
Thank you ALA for hosting this week
And a great thanks _to those who sponsored me
With all my great counselors and friends
I wish that girls state didn’t have to end
So proud to be in the Blount City Band
Volunteer Girls State is the best in the land
