Josiah spent the majority of this weekend's hours learning more about our government and lawmaking through his participation in Generation Joshua's "iAmend" program held during our state's homeschool convention.
He had a blast practicing amending the Constitution and campaigning for the states (the parents) to ratify their particular amendments which were written by the students themselves based on a given topic.
This involved using parliamentary procedure, holding a mock legislature, participating in party caucuses, and campaigning throughout the several hundred participants of the convention.
Josiah was selected to be the "gold party" whip which meant that his job was to act as the link between the chairman and the party -- thus communicating in such a way with the group that the party voted together.
Josiah made some new friends throughout the process -- friends older AND younger, as well as interacted and learned a lot from the Generation Joshua staff.
He's a politician in the making and did a great job leading the group to take a unified stand!
