I learned many things today, but one of the things that really stuck out to me was learning about the legislative branch. I am also helping my group find pictures of people in poverty it is really depressing but it helps for me to know that we can do something! Camp has helped me become an active citizen or an advocate.

I learned that Bill Flores has met the president several times. I also learned that to pass a law is very difficult. Lastly, I learned that getting everyone on iCivics to agree to my laws is a hard task. To be an advocate, you are involved in changing the community for the good. iEngage has helped me to become an activist and realize just how much help our world needs. I can be active in my community as a child to volunteer and spread awareness about serious issues that would require help from a group. My favorite part of today was playing iCivics.

I learned how to pass a bill on Law Craft, a fun computer game. I also learned that if I send a logical letter to the senator it might become a law. I learned that to help beat poverty, I can do a lot of things from helping feed the homeless, to donating at Goodwill. My favorite thing today was meeting Rep. Bill Flores, we both liked airplanes, which surprised me because I didn’t know that.

Today I learned how hard it is to pass a bill, by playing an online game on icivics.org. I also learned how hard it is to write a script for a video. The camp Skyped with Bill Flores, the U.S. rep. for Waco. I also learned that every 3.5 seconds someone dies because of poverty, thats like 25,000 people every day.
