Jace: A Youthful Perspective

I am new to blogging. I have been on “the Twitter” and “the Facebook” for some time now, but this blog marks the start of a new experiment.

Here we go! I thought I would use this first session to introduce myself. I am currently a Senior and serving as Senior Class President at Devils Lake High School. This fall I plan to attend Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter Minnesota, majoring in Political Science and Communications. I am active in National Honor Society, Drama, Choir, Student Congress, Art, and Speech. I know, I may have a “fine arts” problem. Today the Devils Lake Speech team hosted our home meet. It went very well. The Team took first by 24 points, but did not take a trophy. It is traditional that the host team not receive an award at their home meet.

 I am extremely proud of our team this year! I serve as Co President of the DL Speech team with Ben Bergstorm. I know that he would say the same about our team. Being on the team is a major time commitment. We find ourselves getting on a bus at 4:30am for a day full of speaking to rooms full of competitors. I bet you did not know that the speech team has been EDC Champions 4 years in a row now!

Now that I have that out of my system, I should start wrapping it up. This summer I had a blast studying American Politics at the 2011 Congressional Academy in Washington DC. In my free time if I enjoy reading and watching television. Modern Family and Being Human are among my favorites. This being said, I plan to talk about anything from politics to my favorite television shows!
