Samuel Rinehart from South Pemiscot High School and James Laythan Fox from Rivercrest High School attended the 26th Annual Student Leadership Congress in Washington D.C. on June 6 – 11th. Both of these young men are TRiO Educational Talent Search 11th grade students. The National Student Leadership Congress was hosted at Georgetown University. In an effort to highlight the broad range of opportunities that are available to TRIO students, this year they placed a special focus on connecting Student Leadership delegates to TRIO alumni who are doing great things in DC as participants in Congress. These young men were introduced to a panel, featuring Samuel Rinehart and James Lathan Fox offices, which shared how their experiences in TRIO programs prepared them for their professional experiences on Capitol Hill. Some of the inspiring individuals that Sam and Laythan interacted with during the week included: Political Engagement Expert Mike Muse, Missouri’s state Senator Roy Blunt, and our Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. They also traveled to historical sites, such as: the Lincoln Memorial and the Holocaust Museum. At the beginning of the conference, the students were divided into a Mock Congress, groups of 12-14 students and all students were from different states. Each group was given a bill to research and ultimately convince the other 156 students to vote for their particular bill by the end of the week. We are proud to announce that Laythan Fox was a member of the wining group in receiving medals at the closing ceremony. Overall, this was an exciting experience for both ETS participants. Sam shares his experience by stating, “The time spent with peers with the same like mindedness and enthusiasm as myself was amazing. I now have a better understanding of what it really takes to be a leader and write legislation. Overall this experience is one in a lifetime, and I am truly proud to be able to say that I was the one chosen to attend.” Laythan also shares the following: “During the National Student Leadership Conference, I learned that we come together to represent the country because we are the people that matter. We are the future and make up the Trio Alumni system and we are the students that encourage the government to continue to aid the Trio program.” Needless to say, both students truly enjoyed and cherished their experience at the 26 th Annual Student Leadership Congress in Washington D.C.
