Carolyn's Story
When I was a student at Severna Park Junior High, we had a Geography Club. In ninth grade, I was even elected President! One of the most memorable excursions we took was a trip to the Australian Embassy in Washington D.C. I remember as part of the embassy tour, we were told there was a shortage of women in Australia.

It was an interesting time to be overseas, since I was gone over election day. Many people wanted to talk politics with me when they heard my American accent. One man told me that if we could elect a black man as President, we would be setting such a great example for the rest of the world. I'm excited about the opportunity to continue to do exactly that, and will pray for the wisdom and well being of our new leadership.
I hope you will too.
