First Continental Congress and my PSEC experience.

The First Continental Congress serves as an inspiration to many people. They were a group of people who saw something that needed to be fixed, and they fixed it. After British parliment began to pass a number of acts that were not in the best interest of the colonies, they decided to form their own congress where all of the colonies were represented, so their best intrests were always key. This was considered treason by Britian, yet they did not give up. For this they are one of the best examples of what humans are capable when they work together to get organized with a cause.

I being born at the time I am, know the importance of organized government. I also know how important it is to keep government, whether it be big or small, under a close eye so that nothing gets out of hand. I have recently had a closer encounter with this then ever before, at Pudget sound Early College.

PSEC, the school that I am currently attending is very democratic. The part of this system I think can best learn from The First Continental Congress is the Advisory coucil. It is their job to oversee everything that happens in the democratic aspects of our school. Gerda Learner makes the good point that we must take our lessons from the actions of those before us. At PSEC the advisory council can learn from the actions of the congress because they are a great example of the right way to make sure everything gets done when it needs to be.
