Boy's State Essay
My name is Your Name Here, and I have been asked to write an essay on why I would like to go to Boys State this year.

As a result, I want to learn as much as I can about the inner workings of our government as well as get involved in it. After all was said and done, former Vice President Gore lost to President Bush.
