Will's Perspective

About me

Gender	Male
Industry	Student
Location	South, United States
Introduction	I'm a fifteen-year-old avid writer and speaker. Random writings I throw on the blog specialize in my elementary knowledge of domestic policy with an emphasis on exchange and economics. A home school student, I've taken classes at the Leadership Institute in Arlington, VA, TeenPact civics organization, and various public policy camps. In addition to the blog, I've written for small online publications such as Regenerate Our Culture and the former Virtue Magazine. Active in the public platform and oratorical competitions, most of my achievement has come speaking and forensics in the NCFCA, including team policy debate semi-finalist at the 2006 National Championship. Aside from that, I'm active at local civics clubs, educational clubs, Arkansas Republican events, and my church. I'm currently a domestic policy writer at a youth-oriented and youth operated (very small) think tank, The Rebirth of Freedom Foundation. After graduating high school in 2010, I hope to attend a D.C. area university and intern at The Heritage Foundation or American Enterprise Institute.
