I attended the Georgia Close up trip. I really enjoyed the trip because I got the opportunity to hear what other students think about the bills and ideas that are in the state government. I was glad and I liked that we got the chance to meet some of the important and influential people of our government. I hope that I will be able to do it again next year as a 10th grader , maybe we can get a teacher to take us to experience this again.

I was at this Georgia Close Up trip, and was very happy to meet the people that are actually trying to solve our state’s problems. They may not be perfect, and they are certainly not fixing what every individual wants. But they are trying to fix it. They work full-time what is considered a part-time job, and are paid $17,000 a year for it. The trip was great fun (especially on National PBJ Day), and we learned a lot of things about politics, and government. So if you haven’t taken the time to learn the problems the state is having, or the bills they’re trying to defend, please, don’t complain.

According to online state info, Davis made $549,000 last year. It’s hard to feel like he’s feeling the pain.

GA Close Up has been a great experience. Before, I never realized how much the proposed bills in the GA legistaure affected me. My favorite part of Day 1 was hearing all the students’ opinions about what bills were important to them.
